As it seems to be the custom, here is my Studio, or should I say was...
I say was because after owning it for two days I discovered the fumes (not the smell, but the actual fumes) of the nitro finish caused me a migraine so it has had to go back and got exchanged for a Gretsch. I was (and am still) very gutted that I had to take it back, for the short ime I had it I was very happy with it's feel, look and tone, it was just poisoning me!
It's not a complete tale of woe, however. I have had a chat with Gibson and a few luthiers who do Nitro finishing and they all seem to be of the impression that I need to get one that is about five years old as this will have given the nitro coat plenty of time to settle. So I am now on the look out (when I can afford it) for a 2010 ish model. And then I'll be back...
Quick question, do all the studio faded's have the BurstBucker Pros in? If not, when did they start putting them in?
