oh, and why we are on the supject of N's - this is being picked up in a minute



OK, its only an N2 and nowhere near as impressive as one of the ones with the davies neck join... and its a bloody lefty!!!

the owner wanted a new neck because of a dodgy home repair on the old one - we decided not to match the washburn one but go for something more custom - unfortunately the black pearl roman numerals down the fretboard really dont photograph well, so i gave in trying!

I really like the shape of these guitars though, really considering doing an 8 string version

I dont know what it is about oil finished superstrats that make them look so good and righteous, an oil finished or unfinished bit of wood with a Floyd strapped on is where it's at  8)

yeah, i'm leaning that way myself... infact my sprayers training to be a plumber and starting a new band and wanting to build a few guitars so oil finishes are the way forward at the moment :wink:

they go around 1500-2000 dollars these days. of course, original 93 models are more sought after, hence more expensive even in second hand market.  :wink:

Well .. yes and no... Usually, they darken and get brown (they actually lose their red/orange color).. This one, on the other hand, has weird colors that change a lot depending on the lighting.. With a strong flash, you get the picture above, with that vibrant redish color...
On natural daylight, it's darker, way darker, with plum notes like this :
