Proline





To know a Proline Ibby, is to love the ebony madness.

[Budman68]

Buy that from Paul A.? They're fantastic guitars and he's a fantastic guy as well. Enjoy it, I have a blue one and I love everything about it

[Norton]

It looks like the 89' signature model of Vinnie Moore.

[Nuclear Vampire]

That is really nice looking.

[nhspike]

Dave,
Yes, I did... and I agree!

Norton/Nuc... yes... and thanks!
See my comments in the feedback section concerning Paul...
What a coolie!

[heartfielder]

Wow !!! That looks great from where I'm sitting !!! Certainly a high quality instrument !!!

Glad you like it Spike !!! Enjoy it !!!!

Dave, thanks for the kind words and the excellent pickguard too !!!

[Trem]

The little push buttons controls look cool, what do they all do?

[nhspike]

Trem,
The black one nearest the neck turns the push-button system on.
the white ones are for which pickup(s) you want on, once you activate.
The last black one is a coil split option on the humbucker.

The tone control is also push-button/coil split.

If you have none of the white buttons pushed, and hit the black button closest to the neck, it's effectively a kill switch.

Kinda neato.

The ebony neck and the tone and the build quality are really what these Proline models were all about.

I bet if you put one in your hands, you would want to have more there.

Dave, thanks for the kind words and the excellent pickguard too !!!

I can't thank you enough Paul.
But...
Thanks again brother!!!


Budman/Dave... very nice work!

Yikes... this pickguard really sets this woodchopper off... it's a whole new level of cool-lookin'...

[Cygnus X1]

Sweet!
What's the body wood? Is it beefy enough?

[nhspike]

I need to do some homework on the wood type Cyg... Alder??? I'm not sure off the top of my head.
But yes... very beefy.
I'm going to post some pics of this one next to the one I've had for 20 years and has been my main keeper axe... just have to download from my cell phone to hotmail.

[nhspike]

Here are the yin and yang brothers together... at last...

[Tashtego]

Those are nice guitars. I still have a proline V. A little earlier than your new one and not quite as nice but I loved the neck and had it swapped on my #1 guitar for years.

[Budman68]

2 piece basswood, cygs, these guitars sound unreal with the stock electronics/switching system.

[nhspike]

Ahhhh... Basswood... coolies.
Thanks for the info, the nice work, and the kind words Dave!
