  • Soloist Pro arrived today!

    hey gang...it got here. And thankfully in one piece! (no case)
    But hey...I'm not gonna b|tch for $350.00

    Pics to follow shortly. It's boogered with electronically, but the guitar itself in is excellent condition with minimal wear. Binding has yellowed very nicely (I happen to like that)
    Coolest thing was in was perfectly in tune when I unwarapped it. So this one holds it's own against being banged around too! It could use a setup...looks like it hasn't been played in a while. Strings are dead, and the action is a bit high. But all is good otherwise. I'm gonna do her up with an OFR and a set of EMG's

    BTW...anyone have a spare chainsaw case they wouldn't mind parting with?

          nice guitars!! really!!!
          and a nice home you built'em too!! they seem to feel comfortable there... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

          what's that weirdo shape called on the far right?
          doesn't look standart to me...


          you are an US-guy aren't you? I've got an older charvel chainsaw case, but I think the shipping will be too expensive...

            Micha,

            That's my custom shop Deathwarrior on the far right. Yeah..the home is only temporary...as I'm still looking for a place to move to. I'll probably be out of here by early in the coming week.

            But thanks...and and thanks too for the offer on the chainsaw case..but yeah..it would probably be a little more than I'm looking to spend..shipping-wise.


            Thanks too Joe! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

              Sweet! Nice one, Ken [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

              I put EMGs in mine, and I think I wired the dual battery system wrong - one of them is dead I think, because when I switch to the singles on a Crunch/Lead channel, I get a very nice sparkly clean [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

              Hey, it works for me! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

              I've got white EMGs (81/SA/SA) in mine but I'm thinking of going with a black Duncan set and Gold OFR/hardware instead of the black on black. Maybe add a graphic/decal to it [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

                          Congratulations man! Sweet axes! I just have a word of warning if you plan to replace the Schaller Floyd with a OFR.

                          The back locking pins of the OFR are a bit longer than the Schallers. And since the trem recess is cut out for a Schaller Floyd, the longer locking pins of the OFR will lie(is that how spell it?) against the body outside of the recess, preventing you to pull up on the trem.

                          That Soloist is sweet [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

                            very nice score! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
                            i wouldn´t change the schaller trem to an OFR. both systems are high quality made, and the OFR is made by schaller too. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
                            i own 4 guitars with the schaller and 3 with the OFR, no big differences.
                            did you ever try a dimarzio evolution? forget the emgs and try an evolution! i put one in my soloist archtop, amazing sound!
