Great score!

I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling. -
I really hope it is a great score.... I had bought a Charvel Wildcard San Dimas (primer) a few days ago. I had been talking with Mike Learn about a custom paint job, but I think I blew my budget for the Paintjob when I got this PC1, so in that sense I'm a little disappointed. But who knows, maybe I'll get it painted sometime in 2013 if the world doesn't end.
Besides the 2 knob thing, I kept going over the guitar- in the trem recess, I can see an unfinished spot where the mahogany meets the maple top and wondered if it could be a fake? I looked between the bridge and the humbucker and saw the finish was peeling a little bit. I wasn't sure if the floyd was real as it had no brass block. Does anyone know what year it might be?
The guitar is quite a player and isn't a showpiece in the least. It has scratches and dings and on the 24th fret, the low E frets out (but I almost never play that note), the neck shape seems a tad bit different than my old PC1, but it sounds exactly the same. It has warmth and clarity and I always have trouble finding those 2 attributes together. The guitar is either too bright or too muddy/ fuzzy or its too honky. For whatever reason, the sound brought a smile to my face when I was playing it at the store.

Dude, stop worrying and enjoy it You got a great deal - frankly I was tempted when I saw it and I'd have been into it for another $350 or so for shipping and taxes. So you did good. Even if the sustainer is fucked..

It would cost more to fake than the guitar is worth. That's generally a good sign that it's not faked.Originally posted by The Rossness View PostThe 2nd Amendment: America's Original Homeland Defense.Comment

How do you derive that from the serial? Are the first two digits showing the year of manufacture? (00 -> 2000?)Originally posted by RacerX View PostComment
