NGD...yes for real

[dsouza.b.a]

American Vintage '62 Strat. Purchased as a demo from Wilcutt. Pretty much perfect save a small divot in the paint on the back of the neck pocket. Not even visible really. Have emailed Fender to confirm the year but suspect it is a 2010. Will be dropping in a set of EMG SAs in black for that classic Ritchie Blackmore look.

Rack em up - it is going to be fun around your house tonight!

Congrats - again! That FB is particularly sweet. They are going to run out of black EMGs in your neighborhood!

Probably not tonight, but maybe tomorrow. Will try to install the strat EMGs myself. The Les Paul, I am going to leave everything to my tech...once i have the $$$. As for the FB I lucked out. Wilcutt had 3 of these (along with 2 sunburst). I was interested in white and the salesperson said this was the best condition of the 3. It worked out for me cuz it also had the darkest board which I like. I played around with it for a bit acoustically. Needs a setup as the action is a tad high as you progress up the neck (a bit of an underbow) but plays great and feels real comfortable. She's a keeper!

BTW, even with the 2 new guitars, I spent a few hours today playing...my Pro Am. It's still my #1!

Congratulations. Everyone should have a real Strat.

But this is too weird, it must be "buy a Strat week" also.

I decided I needed a real Strat, and I found this Custom Shop Jeff Beck Signature in Surf Green. It hasn't arrived yet.

And before you post something else, lol, let me announce that I finalized my build specs for 2 more TAGs: a Hollow Drop Top, and another Raven.

Just so you know last week I submitted a custom order for a new ESP since Sweetwater had a 36 month interest free promotion. So we've established we have similar tastes in stands and purchasing patterns. Love that surf green!

Interesting indeed. My Kiesel custom order should be done in the next few weeks. It should look very similar to this one, but with 6 strings.

Very Steinbergeresque. I like it.

RVA, spent an hour this afternoon installing the EMGs on the strat:

Very cool! I have not played a Steinberger in ages, so I can only guess at the sound. One thing for sure is that it makes me want to play it! You are going to turn some heads with that ax - congrats!

This is what my ESP custom order will look like (hopefully)...except with a block ESP inlay at the 12th fret.

Nice. Is that an extended scale?

That's the exact color scheme I was going to go with on my new Raven, but I ultimately chose Inca Silver.

[dsouza.b.a]

No it's a 25.5 scale
