I scraped together a little information on 'em via ye olde searche functione. Any additional input on quality & feel of these? I only discovered that they even existed..

Oops, that was s'posed to read LS1.

This is the guitar I was looking at. Sadly he wasn't interested in shipping and sold it locally, apparently for less $, at his local GC.

I'm still kinda curious about 'em. Surely someone has owned/played one?

Strange guitar...I've never seen that before.

[m2pmd70]

Haha! I won one exactly like it on ebay. lmao

Nice guitar for $230. Congrats.

While virtua-leafing over the catalogs over at Henrik's site, that particular model has always grabbed my attention. Love the body shape. That goldtop you grabbed is friggin' cool! Congrats, and +1 on the price!

Wow! Looks real nice. I never saw those either. You'll have to make some clips or take pics, and give us a review?

[scotty]

That was a great deal, congrats.

I eyeballed it on the bay also, but didn't know anything about it.
Can't wait to hear your review of it...
Congrats man!

[m2pmd70]

Thanks for the congrats guys. I guess I've got a few days before it gets here to learn something worth recording huh. lol

You'll definitely get pics & a review though. I've been jonesing for a mahogany carved-top TOM/string-thru tele so this meets most of those requirements. Hopefully it will hold me over until I get around to procuring a cool neck and machining that tele body... that I haven't even finished drawing.

My girl was kinda pissed that I bought "another guitar", not nearly as much as she would have been if I'd bought a COW or SLSMG like I was seriously considering. I mean seriously considering at the prices a certain dealer associated with evergreen trees quoted me on 'em.

Yup was after that one...

You outbid me

Was trying to get it for a blind friend of mine. The string thru body
would have made it much easier for him to change strings than a
floyd

The only issue with the LS1 (Charvel version of Jackson Infinity) as
I understand it from a thorough web search is a lack of sustain.

YMMV. Let us know your take on it...

Best Regards,

What is the Trem version of this guitar called? I have or had one.
