They both need cleaning (that sticker goo on the pink's pickguard is driving me nuts) and a little setup and electronic work, but they are phenomenal guitars!

Re: Speaking of stratheads, Sunday\'s haul...

Found one in a music store, bought it, day before I went to pick it up, a guy lists one on ebay in the same town, so he meets me and sells it to me in the parking lot of the store. :^D

The pink one has a wonderful, big C neck profile w/ an ebony board. It has SD Livewires in it, which are pretty useless to me, so I'm going to try to find some original Schecter pickups for it, and if I can't, it's going to get a couple P90s or minihums (remember Paul Gilbert's pink Ibz w/ minihums?) or Filtertrons. It plays BEAUTIFULLY.

The red one is Anderson-era. It needs to be rewired (one of the switch positions doesn't connect, and there's some ground hum or something going on), but it already sounds killer and it's super-flexible. It has a push/pull tap for the humbuckers, and has a knob that controls a variable boost that takes it from clean and clear to absolutely HUGE and thick. After a quick truss rod adjustment, it should be a stellar player, too. :^D

Very cool guitars. Congrats on the score. I have actually been thinking of picking one up lately in lieu of dumping real money into another SD s-head.

I might be interested in the Livewires if you decide to sell them.
