Collen Archtop PC0008 arrives at its final home...

[Shawn]

Well, I had to trade something for this, but something I could replace, this one you cant. I overlooked these for years now, but no longer. They feel GREAT when you are playing them, very well thought out guitar. The Lawrence or whatever the hell is in it has to go, but other than that, she is awesome, and in just incredibly perfect condition for an '89.

I think you have all seen this one before, but none of the pictures were worth a damn. Its a very difficult one to photo, but I think I bettered the previous efforts.

I will definitely be on the lookout for more...

It's frickin beautiful. And the way the back curves, it just fits you like a glove.

Hey, does anyone know if a real Floyd would drop right in?

Re: Collen Archtop PC0008 arrives at its final hom

Very cool indeed Shawn - the trem bolts on a real Floyd would be too long for that trem recess. Why would you want to change it though?

Re: Collen Archtop PC0008 arrives at its final hom

Great score Shawn! I just love the finish... I'm getting something nearly identical for my Demon! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Personally, I think the Schaller (FR2) is a better unit.

1) The string clamp screws are much shorter, and don't look fugly.

2) Has a better feel for wresting your hand for palm muting, IMO.

3)The fine tuners have slightly more range of adjustment (which makes setting up for drop tuning a breeze... if you have a digital rack tuner, you can get a full drop d to e and then back in under a minute, because after a while you get the feel for where each string needs to be adjusted and just know where to rotate each fine tuner to drop or go back up)

The newer units are a bit more durable... and both of my current custom orders have them. Then again, it's mainly a preference thing...

That's an amazing finish! If it looks that good in pictures, I can only imagine how sweet it would look in person. Great score, congrats!
