DXMGT with Smurf Hats

[Zagato78]

Hey all, question about the Smurf Hat DXMGTs. I have one, usual stuff, tobacco finish, hard tail, HZs, etc. My question, was this headstock offered on a production 22 fret model? The 3+3 is really growing on me however a 22 fretter would be my preference. thanks.

The only production SLS model with 22 frets was the USA version.

Ty Toejam, these were the sculpted tops correct?

[toejam]

No prob. I've never owned one, but I believe they have a slight arch to them.

If memory serves me the DX6 was 22 fret with the 3X3 headstock. Some were Japanese made and some were Indian made. I like the headstock also.

Oh, yeah! Forgot all about the DX6.

It's not a Smurf Hat dammit! ESPee had a smurf Hat, as does Caparison, but the SLS headstock looks nothing like a fucking Smurf hat!

Also look at the AT models AT1, AT1T, AT2T, not an SLS but a bolt-on archtop with 22 frets and 3x3 h/s

And the Super dinky models, note the body is real small on these SDK1, SDK2:

Thanks for the info guys. More possible guitars to choose from. Newc it is a smurf hat, with a kink in it.

Newc is right, it's not a Smurf hat. Smurf hats have a rounded end, not pointed. The old ESP Horizon headstock is a Smurf hat.
