Re: Another 750 XL

I agree on the pup rings,but I am changing out the pups and I have taken a huge liking to budmans pickup rings.I think they look great on these guitars.

I can vouch for Dave too. He did a real nice job on the TR covers I got from him! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Another 750 XL

Couple questions for ya:

1. How would the metal pickup rings look different - assuming they're still black (pics would help)? It does seem like I can see quite a bit into those pickup cavities. Are the metal rings thicker?

2. Is the TR cover you're referring to a brushed aluminum black trem plate cover?

The reason for these questions, is that I'd like to replace my Japanese-made SL4's plastic trem plate and control cavity covers with brushed aluminum ones, like a USA Jackson has, but I can't find them! If Budman makes them, I'll buy 'em. I'd also replace its plastic pickup ring if I thought it would be a noticeable improvement - but I'd stay with black, not chrome.

Thanks!

That is one of the coolest tiger striped top in amber I have seen.
Most of the I have seen were not figured much.
Congrats.

Re: Another 750 XL

When you're on your photobucket page, just click the edit button on the picture. I usually shrink mine to 50% to post here. Only thing is, once you shrink them down, you can't get them back up to original size without reloading the picture on to photobucket.

Re: Another 750 XL

The large picts were cool. I can really see the flame.
I thought mine had great flame AAAA.
Yours is in the AAAAA / 10 Top area.
I usually do not like the skinny stripes, most PRS' like that sux, the Gibbys' are not much better.
This might be one of the best tops on a 750.
There are probably a few more due to the fact that there must have been a few more boards w/ the same pattern.
