Re: Maple tops on imports - KV3

1 1/2" thick maple top on my Ibanez SZ. Measured it myself or I wouldn't have believed it. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hamer uses 3/8" maple tops on their guitars! I kinda miss my Special FM (bought it from Pete), it's in the good hands of Travis now. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Well, since I own the two guitars that the last two guys posted, I feel obligated to show a picture of the maple tops.

Here's the Hamer in question, thanks Joe!



And here is one of Mike's old 750xl's:



Sorry the pics are'nt better, but my camera battery was dying so I had to rush it.

Sweet pics guys! Model 88, I love the Charvel w/floyd that you sold. Forgive me for my ignorance but, what model is it? Is that an ebony board?

Thanks , the model that I sold is the 750XL.It is a short scale 24.75 , mahogany body , maple top , maple set neck.The fret board is rosewood but a very dark piece that can pass for ebony.The amber and blue Jacksons have the same specs except they are a lot thinner and have a ebony board.That first pic I posted is the comparsion of the two.

Why can´t I find this model anywhere, is this a special edition or what?
Seems to me DK2 in natural is rare.

Re: Maple tops on imports - KV3

Kruneh, it's a DK2GC. GC = Guitar Center. They usually get different anniversary models for them each year.

Re: Maple tops on imports - KV3

Yeah Kruneh, I had a hard time finding much info on this guitar. All I basically came up with is that it is GC anniversary and what kind of wood it was made of.
