NAMM '01 " '59 Killer" JA0193 acquired! =D

[xenophobe]

Well, much to my surprise, I walked into Guitar Center and found something I thought was kinda special! Dead mint... Sorry about the crappy photos (which don't do ANY justice) and the fingerprints... been too busy playing her! Will take better pics in the daylight. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]





All flame mahogany body with what appears to be a 1" quilt Solar (hang tag says Solar (amber sunburst) top, with Abalone logo and inlays.

Major GAS kinda sucks... but you get some neat stuff. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

@Dave: Yeah, she's really heavy... I don't have a scale, but at least a pound or two heavier than a standard SL2. Not much heavier than my 750xl, which I wish I would have kept, just to compare weight... lol.

@Genebaby... yeah, the guitar looks a bit more brownish. The pics turned out a bit more orange, and you can't see the Solar burst very well in the pic...

Score!!
I could only be so lucky to find something like that at my local GC.
Xeno, I hate you. [img]graemlins/evilimages/icons/tongue.gif[/img] ......but congrats anyways!

BTW, I've got some pics of that guitar when the original owner was trying to sell it a few
months back, if you want them. But then, I'm sure you'll take plenty of your own.

Holy s**t, Xeno! That is too sweet. Flamed mahogany? Man, you don't see that every day. And a sweet top, too. She must sustain like a MoFo. One of my fav colors, too.

Congrats. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

WOW, what a MASTERPIECE !! Absolutely Beautiful !!! If that thing plays & sounds as good as it looks, then I am truly envious.

Are those DiMarzio PU's in there?
