....and with its arrival, another superb deal on HC comes to a close. Thanks to Dale B for a sweet deal and killer guitar...
Ok, so this more along the lines of "it's here, here are some pix, and initial thoughts" type of thang. Better pix and more in depth stuff later...
I was watching tv with mah dawgs on tha couch when I heard a slight noise from my porch followed by the doorbell ringin. When I opened it up, the ups duder was already taking off.
It was a bit of a guessing game until I saw the truck, cuz I am also expecting my rack wah to arrive today. Anyway...I took it in and proceeded to tear through the box like a semi-madman and what was inside?
Initial thoughts and reactions to this bad boy is that it is a keeper for sure. I really REALLY dig it a lot. The finish is great, I can't find anything wrong or out of place. The binding looks a tiny bit lighter in a few spots, but that's nothing.
The binding itself is really great, all around top notch and pretty neatly done. Frets are nice, medium jumbos I guess? They're not extra jumbos, haha. But they feel great and the ebony board is suhmoooooooooooooth yo
The neck profile is 1 11/16 and I guess similar to gibson 59 style...which is almost pushing the limits for me most of the time because yes, I have slightly smaller hands, haha. But it's cool, it's comfortable and I'm sure it'll be fine once I get used to playing it a bit more.
Hardware looks sweet, feels good, no problems there...
The pickups are duncans, 59 in the neck and JB in the bridge and also happen to be my personal fave And how do they sound? All I gotta say is, I thought about changing them out to EMGs...well, $%#@ EMGs, haha Seriously, this bad boy sounds friggin HUGE. Super tight, thick, heavy and just all around beastly through my recto/marshall 4x12.
If you have any specific questions or pic requests, feel free to throw em out there :thu:
