  2. Speed Triple? Damn, that's like 170hp isn't it? I had an Aprilia 750 that was maybe 90hp, felt like I could barely hang onto it when it was in sport mode. With the onset of arthritis I switched to a cruiser style Softail. The Aprilia had that same angular street fighter look your Triumph has, I like it.
  3. That's a beauty! Always wanted to try a Deluxe, not a fan of the switch location though.
  4. Nice score! My parts-caster has a Squier neck and it's very comfortable, I've grown to love maple fretboards. The 9.5 radius feels a little odd to me still. It's good up to the 7th fret but then after that I miss the flatter radiuses of my other guitars. I love being able to play something different every once in awhile, but some guitars just feel like home.
  5. String breakage is a real issue with the stop bar tailpiece. I raised the posts as much as I thought was reasonable on my LP, always wondered if that affected sustain and resonance. Used to use GHS boomers as well but seemed like they were always breaking, switched to D'addario and haven't bought GHS since. The guitar is more of a case queen nowadays but the gizmo in the op seems like a clever idea of lessening the severity of the angle over the bridge and down to the tailpiece without having to raise the posts.
  6. Maybe there will be a COA now for the pickups as well as the guitar. Non players will be inundating the forums asking if their latest online purchase is authentic even more than they currently do. 😂
  7. My '63 Ranchero, currently with a 170 straight six and the venerable "three on the tree". This winter plans for a 260 and TKO five speed.
  8. "Destination Unknown"- Missing Persons
  9. RIP, I've enjoyed his music on occasion.
  10. Nice! I played a used Schecter C1 Elite last Friday (black Friday sale) that was very similar. Double cutaway, HH, similar bridge and string through body setup. It played nice but the binding around the body and neck and the fretboard inlays were so bright to the point of being reflective that I put it back on the hanger. It was almost iridescent 😆
