  • Some new editions....

    I haven't posted any new editions in a long time, so I will now. The first two:

    The Pink one is from Charvel750 and is a '85. The neck is awesome. I am still getting to know it, but I have nothing but good things to say of it so far.

    The red one is from yetanotherone. This '88 had a horrible inlay filler job done at the factory. I cleaned it up and now it feels better. It is a good guitar that could be made great with a real Floyd and some better pickups.

    The King V's:


    I bought these from Dave Ingram. They are both incredible guitars. The necks feel great, setup low, and resonate nicely. They are in really nice condition as well. Both are 1985's and in the J0500ish range. Dave put a single coil up front with an adapter ring and (rare) white Kahlers. I will be putting those back to black and humbuckers in the fronts. The later one with 3 knobs will likely get a APM 3310 and Seymours and the earlier model will get a Pro trem and EMG 85-81's pickups.

    I have a couple more on the way including my old RR0218 Student model and the Shannon. I will post pics when I get them.

      They stand out a bit too much for me. I like them all black. I may use one of the Kahlers on a white guitar to see how it looks.

              I think those King Vs look awesome with the H/S and white Kahlers. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

                    They should have white knobs too. That would bring everything together.

                          Thanks! This Shannon showed up today.



                          It is very clean. There is hardly any evidence it was played. No tags though, but oh well. It is a very cool guitar. The neck shape isn't my favorite, but it is overall a much better guitar than my '86 or '88 Soloists. The one thing that struck me as funky is the bridge pickup ring is very tall. Otherwise it is built like the best of any era. It was a killer bargain. Any Soloist fans looking for an older non-recessed Floyd version should look into getting one of these.

                            dude the twins look killer with the white accs.
                            and yes, some white knobs would set it off for sure [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] but if you are dead set on making them all black, please keep me in mind if you want to get rid of the white EMG's [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

                              Are those white Bill Edwards Finger-Tite locknuts on them, too? White knobs would also be killer! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
