  • Finally - My PC1 Arrived

    You PC1 owners were right. I've been reading over the months about all the great reviews on this guitar. I ordered it without ever playing one. This is now officially my favorite guitar. The set-up is perfect, the top is awesome. It was well worth the wait. I think the strathead kicks ass! I will post pics if people want to see but it's like most of the other new Solar PC1's.

    Side note: While I was waiting to get my guitar I saw a Charvel Copperhead San Dimas hanging on the wall. So I got it down and started noodling. I've seen better set-ups on a $200 Hondo than what this had. The strings were a mile high off the neck. The intonation was all jacked up. For a Charvel with a sticker over $2000, I was a little shocked. I would assume the guys at the store didn't do this. I can't believe J/C qc would let something like that out the door. I pulled down a Mexican Strat that played better than the Charvel. It was pretty sad.

          I ordered one without playing it also and ditto ... best guitar I have ever played.

          I put in a Duncan Custom 5 which sounds even better than original pup.

          I also blocked the Floyd which seems to have added even more sustain and tone.

            Pics! I too have been reading about them for a few months now, it's pretty tempting. How's the neck feel, aren't they pretty big necks, or are they the fast slim 'typical' Jackson necks? I keep thinking there's a jackson with the thick bulgy neck... [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

            Congrats though! [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

                Yes, PC1 necks are on the beefy side. Thickest one in the USA line-up, I believe. Still very comfortable, though.

                    More comfortable than I expected. It's not like going from a thin 777-813 to a baseball bat like I kind of expected. It's a little thicker but not enough to make it tough to play. I think the neck is more comfortable than my EBMM Axis if you can relate.

                    I might just have to get one in another color. But I will not special order it! I'm thinking either Natural or Chlorine.

                      Cool, thanks for the info. Coming from a LP neck-happy player, sounds like it might be cool one to try out!

                      Now... pics? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
