New SL-1 Day

[kmanick]

this popped up on the bay last Saturday morning and I jumped on it
2001 SL-1 in virtually un played condition(except for the ding on the rear edge)
huge frets, kind of a weak flame top but I scored it for a great price so I'm ok with it. (best offer )
needs a set up so I'm dropping it off with my tech tomorrow, already plays really nicely but I'm getting some buzz on the high E string open so I
think I may have a high fret or the nut may need a shim...or something , I suck at anything but a basic set up so off it goes.

Thanks guys! an amber burst is my ideal but I have not been able to find one for a bargain anywhere (there is one on Reverb.com right now
but I could've bought 2 of these for what he's asking) so when this one came up I negotiated and grabbed it.
I did some tweaking to it last night and let it sit overnight and I may have done a good enough set up on my own. Now it's playing like a champ
and the buzzing I was getting on the high open E is almost completely gone, I may still have a little bump on a fret somewhere but
I don't need to run out and get full set up any longer right now. Intonation is very close so I think I'm going to just jam out on it for a few days
and then bring it to my tech and have him give it the "once over".
It's amazing how "solid feeling" these USA soloists are, and I'm surprised at how much I love the sound of a JB with the classic stack together clean (position 2).
John...this one looks like a keeper

Great score! SL1s rule!

Beautiful guitar. Love the color!

[Gregocide]

that thing is SWEET.

JB's always seem to work in SL1's, for some reason. I think the neck eats up some the mid range, giving it a nice balanced tone.

NOW that's a ScOrE!!!! Congrats!!!
