New Addition to the Family

[nhspike]

I'm not sure if the strange look on the body is a reflection, or what the heck is going on.
I'll soon find out when I unwrap her!

In any case, my boss used to have one of these and I loved it... very toneful and eager to make all kinds of sounds.

I've had three model 6's, but never a bolt on.

Will be nice to adopt one finally... hope she gets along with the other members of the family.

Can you say GAS?

Hey, I used to work in a music store, and have a deep need to re-live my youth.

Congrats! It looks like you can see the guy's foot & pants leg on the bass side from the bridge pickup upward, so I think it's just a reflection.

[nhspike]

DAMN dg!
I didn't even see that.
And would not have in a million (pinky to mouth... Dr. Evil style) years!
hehe
Thanks man!
I'll sleep better now.
Whew!!!!
I owe ya!
You can see his feet in this backview as well (clean or what?)

[nhspike]

NOT his feet... the guitar!
:ROTF:

[Razor]

I'd say that one will play well with others! Congratulations on the Model 3!

[nhspike]

Thanks Razor!
Well, I got it, and... It's minty!
Very happy... wow... I'm still amazed at the Model series level of craftsmanship/quality.
What a rock machine these are!

sweet. You got a "legs of a dude taking a photo" graphic. That was a rare factory finish

[dogueboy]

Nice Model 3 real sweet.

[MSGfan]

I just picked up a Charvel that's blue just like that one but has two humbuckers instead of the 1 hum and 2 singles. I think it's a model 2A?,....Does that sound right guys?
Thanks for any info.!

[surfdork]

I think the 2 hum version is a model 4.
