Unexpected NGD
« on: April 15, 2010, 12:47:34 PM »
I've waited over a year for PhillyQ to sell it, he let me know it was going a few days ago, I thought about it all of 20 seconds.

Black Dog in the bridge and a Stormy Monday in the neck.

Happily reunited with Phil's Potbelly (that sounds terrible!).

Congrats on the NGD. It does indeed look very nice, and I'll bet it sounds fantastic with that BKP combo.

I must admit when I saw Philly had this guitar for sale in Seconds Out I did think about it for a minute, but I resisted temptation.
BKP's own: Irish Tours, Mule(b), Black Dog(b)
BKP's had: Riff Raffs, Nailbombs

Blimey, it looks good, your photos are so much better than mine!  :o   Maybe I shouldn't have sold it!

Glad you like it, Andy!  :D  What d'you think of the Black Dog and Stormy Monday?

I like the pickups, I knew what the SM was like as Juansolo has had one in the neck before.  The BD reminds me of my VHII with more mids.

Yep, great looking guitar!

I also found the BD to be a beefier VHII, nice description!

Not normally a V fan, but that's very nice.
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

Can I ask about the photos?  They're obviously indoors, but is it just a nice bright room with plenty of daylight, or did you use some clever lighting?

Bright room, and a camera with a big lens.
Camera is a 5 year old Fuji S5500, nothing special.  Big lens means it gets lots of light, and doesn't need to fire the flash as much as a compact.
