I asked Tim about the pickups in these and he said they are very similar to the Abraxas(not tried those).

I've been thinking about the shape of these guitars, and they really remind me of something...  I remember seeing an ad with Trevor Rabin (I think) endorsing a guitar that looked a lot like this body shape - can't remember what it was for the life of me, I don't think that it was mainstream.  And it was about 20 years ago...

Here's a bigger pic of the quilted one, the pic isn't the best quality, would have been beter done in natural light not a dark room :?



The angle makes it look like it's missing a fret too, the end of a neck has a step.

Think the bottom one looks the best.

Although I'm really not a fan of Organic body-shapes. Is it just me?  :?


they remind me too much of bass guitars... and i find all bass guitars rather ugly

Happens to us all, Mr B.

It's when we can't remember things like that at all that we'll need to start worrying...  :wink:

That's what it was like for our generation, young feller-me-lad.  No first names until you're properly introduced, and then only on informal occasions.

I have an Organic Standard for sale, for exactly £1000, in perfect condition.

I know I'm probably not meant to spam.... but this seems like it might be of genuine interest to people reading this thread, so I thought I might push my luck!!
