Oh my!
2 of beat up I used own are posted here The Rhoads, Lee refretted with jumbo frets(the original frets were in bad shape) and cleaned up a little.
That shotgun Soloist ,When I bought it, it wasnt even wired and no switch/knobs.
Once again, Lee at GMW (pictured [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ) did the great job before Ron went to pick up.
I have a beat up Jackson coming early next week.
I hope it is a nice one. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Jim, is that maple board Birdseye or Flame or Quilted? Thanks-Jack.

It's birdseye Jack. It looks really clean in the pics, but it's darkened quit a bit from use. It actually brings out the figuring a little bit more, but you can tell it's been played!

'Cuda, that Dragon Dinky is fantastic - especially that gorgeous neck.

Thanks! It's funny, everyone gives me compliments on the neck. When I first started looking for this one, I wanted it for the neck too, but I had a change of heart when I found it and started bugging Slash to sell it to me. If I had one wish, it would be that the neck profile was a little thicker, but it's not that bad.
I just read Exodusattack's post and thought about how long ago it was that this guitar was on the bay when Ron bought it about ...what two years ago now? Then I noticed that he was a gold member and wondered how long ago he joined and saw that he had a post number in the 160's. I thought we needed 500 posts to reach gold status?
I live on the edge of danger facing life and death every single day.....then I leave her at home and go disarm bombs.
from what i remember, it was giving the name shotgun soloist because the previous owner of the guitar experimented with knob placement. I don't know why he didn't experiment on a ugly guitar rather than a beutiful SL like that.

I suspect the previous owner was "experimenting" with other things as well [img]/images/graemlins/sick.gif[/img]
