Yep, as of the very near future all guitars get outlines except for the 513 which has it's own style of birds.

That's a strange one - I don't think it'll prove popular, I bet they'll go back to the old style before too long. Apart from anything else, it must be harder work doing the outlines (I know it's CAD-assisted, but even so).

I hope they're not going to switch to outline-moons as well?

Maybe harder work but maybe marginally cheaper in the long-run? :lol:

Maybe Paul is looking to save a few pennies in mother of pearl. Who knows.

:roll:

Must be something to do with less wastage?

Indeed not, I was being facetious. But they could leave out the abalone "shadow" part of the moon and have a series of little crescents. If would look rubbish though.

Ibanez are doing something similar with their sharktooth inlays, it's not a full shape, instead it's outlined. A *Wedge* Sharktooth, but they have a *Deluxe* Sharktooth too.

I hate those friggin' birds anyway... PDT_029

Mind you I don't like fancy inlays anyway. Don't get me started on those Vai Jem necks...

I think I like your black axe Philly, but I would get a tortie plate made so it matches your black SG X. That axe looks very cool.

Cheers Ted! That is a possibility, as is black pearl... but I do like having the matching Mira truss rod cover.

But anyway, everything stays as it is for a good while yet!

Yep, even pickups

I will say that if/when I switch to BKPs they'll be some combination of Mules, SMs or Riff Raffs. With covers. But we'll see.

The new birds aren't nearly as good!

indysmith · « **Reply #86 on:** February 11, 2008, 04:50:20 PM »

meh, I like them more. Still don't like them though

I had a custom 24 with Birds, I never took well to it so it's gone.

Philly Q the Mira is very nice, I thought about getting one of them before I decided on the Blackmachine, but who knows what fleabay special pops up, there may be one in my future yet.

Best of luck with your PRS, Mira.

Damn you Phil!

Forgive me father, I have GAS-ed:

I'm sorry. I cannot believe no one asked the question...

So Dave, when you getting the OTHER one? :lol:

Twinfan · « **Reply #89 on:** February 11, 2008, 08:34:33 PM »

Ha ha ha! Let me check the first one out, then I'll decide on the colour for the second ;)
