Cross-posted from TGP, but I mean, who wants to type things out twice?

So! I've been eye-banging this guitar from Scott/Jet City for well over a year, hoping it would wait around until I was in a spot to buy it, and my day came up; on the way with Fed Ex! I'm super excited to get my hands on this. Here are the specs:

2019 Ocean Blue Quilt top super strat


# 060-S

Body

· 1 piece Honduran mahogany / Premium Quilted maple drop top

· H x H Throbak SLE 101 +

· Emerson pro pots / CRL blade switch

· Gotoh 510 tremelo

· Nickel hardware

Finish – Poly trans ocean blue /masked binding/ vintage tint clear on back



Neck

· Dark roasted maple / striped Madagascar board

· Bone nut / 1.66” nut width

· 22 fret / Stainless steel Jescar FW57110 fret wire ( Plek )

· .860 “ @ 1st fret / .957” @ 12th fret Asymmetrical C contour

· Cream face & side dots

· Top adjust rod

· Vintage Gotoh locking tuners nickel

Finish – Poly clear headstock face only / Gunstock oil & wax on back of neck / Cream logo

Weight – 7 lbs.

Rest of the thread is here: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/i...i ... t.2165771/

Most of my experience is Fender and EBMM; I'll try to put my thoughts together in a non-fawning/honeymoon sort of way. Never tried Throbaks, so this will be interesting for sure.

They should def. change their name. One google search shows how overused that name is for guitar related businesses.

One thing I wonder about most of these builders, are they doing their own necks as well?? OR are they slapping a mighty mite neck on there and changing the headstock a bit? Because 1400+ for a guitar is a lot if this is the case. Unless it is a warmoth. His work looks nice though but obviously, everybody's guitars look good, it is all about the finish and setup.

I BELIEVE he's cutting his own necks. He seems to have gone through some work to get good wood as well. But yeah, believe he CNCs all his own stuff.
 
That dude makes great guitars. I’ve played one and it was great.
