So… I’ve dig this T-style shape from Balaguer since they launched it.

Was noodling around the ‘Verb and stumbled across this guy. Dude asked $1900, then put it on sale for $1300… so of course I got it at $1150! lol.

VERY much worth every penny! Actual nice cap of Pale Moon Ebony and not a veneer, roasted and body and 3-piece Korina neck.

It’s fairly snappy tonally. I’ll likely throw some darker pickups in it but overall, damn nice build.

For sure man. I saw another dude post from this same run. It was a “buy a semi custom and get any top free” promo. He also had the pale moon ebony top with no pickguard.

For the hell of it I checked out reverb and found this guy.
 
That’s killer bro!!..
Reminds me of Eddie Vedder going hungry in the Temple of the Dog song Hunger Strike where Eddie’s hiking around some random forestry in the the music video..-
-he’s going hungry man!

That song Your Savioyr is KILLER.
The riff, solo AND the drums.. the chorus melody.. dope AF song right there man.

I guess Eddy was eating during that song and thankfully sat that one out eating a Burritto or something..
Word, sweet guitar man!!

Looks sweet! I could tell by the woods and looking at the pickups that you would want to swap em out. Probably a bit reedy and hifi in areas.

Really sweet axe!!!

Yeah this is a set of Joe’s Evergreen’s which I LOVE in my Les Paul’s but a little too chimey here. I’m grabbing a set of his Hypernova pickups. They’re ceramic and like 17k bridge and 12k neck. I’ll keep the guitar in either C# standard or D standard. Not sure yet but lower tuning for sure.

Those ceramics are going to slam the high-mid bejeesus out of that guitar! Will definitely work well for low tunings 100%, though I have not heard that set specifically. Killer guitar - crazy price. Congrats again.
