Think prefered the ultra III which was similar ..played great and sounded great as well(obviously would eventually have BKP)

I KINDA like that, but I HATE Bigsby trems, and I'm not sure about the pups...  Are the HBs?

^ :o Hate Bigsby's!? HOW?! WHY?! :o

[sgmypod]

yeah S/D's as I remember...

I don't know... Irrational, probably.  I just hate the look.

I love the look, but they're such big clunky things they seem more trouble than they're worth.  Although I am thinking of putting a Maestro - another big clunky thing - on a guitar sometime.

god damn these fender signitures... i want this



the finish may be gayer than macca with an upside down esquire but i reckon i am cool enough to pull it off

Is that the J Mascis sig?  I thought it was purpler than that.

I'm suffering serious GAS for this - I almost bought one in the early 80's but went for a 57 reissue strat instead.  I am going to try it today and if it plays OK I will probably end up getting it - then I think a set of cold sweats might be in order!!

Never liked this headstock and always think it should be nice with a ponty headstock... This proves I was right:


Soo sad Warmoth can't do this body anymore

Waaaay too many switches on that, PK...

yeah it is, in some pic its looks more purple. 

I'm with phil on the bc rich - i much prefer the older style, its a great looking guitar and the headtsock does not need to be pointy.  I can even cope with the switches but would draw the line at the chickenhead

Me too - I don't actually like the complex controls, but to me that early BC Rich style is what they should look like.

The chickenhead  is a 6 position switch for the pre-amp (remember this is a late 70's design!).
