How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

I know I'm a Junior Member so I don't know if I'm able to be involved but is there any chance of a Floyd? I'd prefer Alder but Swamp Ash sounds good too. This seems really interesting though.

How many frets, boys?

Sure, anybody who has the coin to actually buy one of these can be involved. That group barely includes me, but I tried this a couple of years ago and it went many pages and ultimitely flamed out.

The specs are pretty set. I love the sound of Swamp Ash, and the tune-o-matic is one of the features. Really, besides the colors of hardware and paint, the rest of it is what it is.

Maybe not Orange then. I was picturing a Gretsh Orange. I was just trying to think outside the box.

24, I'd imagine. I would prefer 22, but I doubt we can get that in a limited run. 22 would be a full on Custom Shop, and we're doing that, then this thing is going Koa!

Koa it is!!! lol

I'd prefer 22 over 24, but for the sake of expense I could look at two more frets.

Well, I do already have two alder bodied, Floyded guitars so this would be a nice break. Some form of Orange with black hardware would be cool with me. Maybe a bit darker than Jim's first orange posting. Like an Orange Pearl or a Halloween Orange perhaps?

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

make it a NON recessed OFR & frets over binding & i would be in. ive got enought NON trem guitars & with binding over frets I always get the high E caught in between the binding & the fretends when i play....yeah im a caveman. KOA is awesome but its expensive, you could probably get SOLID QUILT maple wings for what Koa will cost.

(Getting a little too close for comfort with that color now, though. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] )

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

Whelp, I can do without the binding over the fret ends, and it won't be Koa, cause it's a Limited Edition run and not full on Custom Shop, but I guess I'll have to bid you adieu at the Floyd.

How many non-Floyd guitars do you have without binding over frets? Back in yet?? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Edit: There ya go, Shreddermon!

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

I'll give a tentative agreement on this depnding on cost and the agreement that we go with the stats as originally stated:
"Would there be any interst in a run of 1 hum 1 single Soloists?
String thru/ tune-o-matic
Solid color
Oiled neck
Ebony and Sharks
Swamp Ash body wings
Ducnan Custom/Lil 59
1 volume, three way blade switch
G&G case"
I love my model 3 dr and this would have a cool non-trem option to it.

Any chance of doing it in retro green?

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

Retro green...I saw that thread title but didn't read it...bring me up to speed on that color?

Almost any color is possible right now. I haven't even talked to any of our dealers yet.

[shreddermon]

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

Nothing to bring you up to speed on, Chuck. No one really know what that color looks like - just a bunch of guessing.

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

I would be in,if the blade switch was a 3way toggle

Re: How about a 1 hum 1 single Soloist?

Very cool!
I would be interested in if this LTD becomes real!

If it's like the 7-Up Green then that would be badass.
