That looks very nice Nick.I like that semi too. Perhaps when you bring it to the UK you can pose as a US visitor and avoid Brown's Bunce.

It IS bought :)
Just awaiting arrival. And ya KNOW it was VERY right price :) When have I ever bought summit at list/right price :) (cept BKP's).

Single coils at some point would be cool but right now I love buckers and am not a trem fan (although the 'pet has one).

Pose as US Visitor?
I am shipping ALOT of stuff over (take bout 6 weeks) but carrying this. ALL stuff is USED personal stuff and I am a US Resident with a Green Card, aka Mr. Customs and Exercise can kiss my hairy white ASS! :)

She just arrived.
Awesome guitar for the money.
Well built, not too heavy, great QC, binding,paint,tuners etc. top notch. Even REAL SD's (although they will go eventually lol).
Great diff. tones from 5 way switching, excellent neck with GREAT upper fret access.
VERY pleased/impressed.
Other guitars/stuff gets picked up for shipping today, will hand carry this one as others are packed good.
Freezing in Houston today, cold front came in this morning.
Know it is'nt UK, but check this, was 81deg. yesterday (ucckk, too muggy), now 39deg. today! What a temp. change in bout 12hrs!

Flying back Tuesday so be back in Blighty soon.

I assume (as twice before) it will have to go 'checked baggage', so I cannot get to it to garrot anyone even when/if I wanted to  :twisted:  So no worries there. It's in a hardace and have just UPPED all insurance on this and other that are getting shipped, so just fingers crossed and all that.

Heck, not got to picking BKP's stage yet.
Dunno, it 'should' get some blusier pups, but then again, HAHA.
It's basically a Fender Flat-Head, and only player I know playing this reg. is Jim Root, and he is NOT bluesy lol.
Dunno, not got a MM yet or CS but maybe BD or RY.
Heck, I have annihilation with the 'Pigs and HEAVY with PK.
ALOT more thought needed on this un.

Its Mahogany Body, set neck, rosewood board,5 way switching, thu body strung.
