PCS Rhoads #84

[Newc]

Here she is, fellers [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Very minor cosmetic issues. Coupla pencil-tip sized chips revealing the white primer. Some scratches where you rest your wrist on the edge of the body.
No breaks.

Mike,

I have #13 that's pretty much mint, a few playing swirls, but that's it. I got $2k in it, email me if you have any interest...

Thanx!

Re: PCS Rhoads #84

Nice...how does it compare to the JCF01 in terms of neck profile and frets?

and.... do you leave the hang tag on the JCF when you play it [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: PCS Rhoads #84

Awesome... What kind of pickups does it have?

Re: PCS Rhoads #84

Duncan Distortion in the bridge and Jazz in the neck.

Yeah Newc, how is she compared with JCF01?

Re: PCS Rhoads #84

The PCS neck is much thinner than the JCF neck - it's close to a 1990 USA Warrior. I don't have anything recent to compare it to - just old guitars [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
But I'd say the neck thickness is close to a DK2, maybe (remember, my DK2 no longer has its original neck so I can't directly compare the two).
The PCS neck also feels very wide, even though it's the same as all my other Jacksons.
By contrast, the JCF neck is very close to a classical neck, but with a curved fretboard (as opposed to the perfectly flat board found on classical guitars) - I mean that b!tch is F-A-T [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

The guy I got it from musta been in a Korn/Godsmack/Gnu-Metal band, as there were two bass strings for the 5th and 6th strings, and they sounded horrible. Could only tune em up to D before they got too tight to go any higher.
Needless to say, I immediately changed them to 9's and dropped the bridge to playable position [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
I'll have to let the truss rod sit for a few days, as it may have permanent relief from those bass strings. I tried to adjust the rod but it won't budge as easily as it should.
The relief ain't bad, but I'd prefer to start a setup from arrow straight.
The frets are tall and skinny, but don't seem quite as tall as the JCF01 frets - maybe a hair shorter, though I haven't measured them.

And yes, I leave my JCF01 hang tag on when I play - it adds sustain [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Wish I could find one for my PCS [img]graemlins/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Anyways, thanks, guys [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: PCS Rhoads #84

Great one Newc, I love the PCS Rhoads. Good luck with it. By the way, I was so distraught about losing tha Warrior to Joe that I went out with a serious case of gas and bought a quilt top '94 Les Paul Custom to ease the pain [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
