    A Korean Hamer with '69 Fender Custom Shop pickups for $150. For a 20 year old guitar the frets have minimal wear. Nice vintage strat tones. Ham.jpg

    Definitely after a few modifications. Just wanted to try the Fishman piezo saddles which fit perfectly. This is actually my first guitar with a single coil in the bridge pickup. The tone of Position 1 and 2 are very foreign to a humbucker only guy.

    Characteristic for most guitarists I know. As soon as they own a new instrument they have the irresistible urge to rebuilt something [​IMG]

    It is a prerequisite when purchasing a guitar.

    That Bigsby is crazy @MMJ2017

    I got to play one of the early imports numerous times and THAT was a fine guitar. I would imagine any US made PRS is a work of art.

    Recorded thru a Peavey Bravo w/Mesa Thiele cab in the closet with a 57:

    A guitar is a like woman, I know it is a bit cliche, but you can't tell a good one from a bad one by looking at pictures. I like PRS guitars, I own a CE24 but like every other guitar I own... I met her we had a little a good time, then I took her home.

    I just watched this video today:
    you could get 3 or 4 of these and cover all the tones you will ever need.

    I would get the
    PRS
    Rickenbacker
    Brian May
    Blackie strat

    Let's estimate this together. How many Flying V owners out there? I love Michael Schenker but never ever wanted a V.
    Of the people that own a Flying V, what percentage would ever want a Bigsby?
    Total sales over / under: 100
