robertscott Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Anybody else love these? I saw one on ebay and even though I know I'm an idiot for buying a guitar I'd never even seen in person, let alone played, it's been my dream guitar since I was a kid so I took the risk... ...and it was the best thing I ever did! I love this guitar so much. It is the most playable instrument I've ever touched. It's light as a feather, and upper fret access is a dream. Tonally it is a little different to the usual, but having both the bridge and neck pickups active at the same time gives the fullest tone I've ever heard from a guitar. Love it. Love everything about it. I've attached a picture. It's from 1998. A good year for awesome guitars, apparently. EDIT: Oh, my picture hasn't worked. Can anyone tell me why that'd have happened? I just attached it as a file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabs Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hi there... No you arnt alone.. I LOVE the double cut.. I really think its the best shape they ever made (as did PRS :)) I have one of the DC Specials... Man I love that guitar, its all the things you say.. Plays well, sounds amazing and looks great.. Mine had the best neck on it, so fast and as you say great upper fret access... Heres mine And well to attach pics I think they have to be under 500k if you use the attach button.. What most of us do is upload to a image hosting site (most of use use Photobucket).. Once uploaded there then use the IMG link it gives you and copy it directly into your post (don't use insert media button).. Look forward to seeing what you have.

merciful-evans Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Me. I'm a big fan too. but.... I dont have one. I tried a few 2015 ones out but found them resistible. I do have a copy though that I've just had electrics upgraded & controls customised. DC: Beautiful lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
american cheez Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 i don't understand why the DC doesn't come w/a carved top. that would make them irresistible to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I seem to remember some carved, flamey top DCs in the 90's. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 the Double Cut Standards had carved tops with all the usual cosmetic appointments. Block inlays, body/neck binding, etc. I think this was back around 2000 or so. A very good friend of mine had a lemon burst one, it was very nice.

dReit1 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 i don't understand why the DC doesn't come w/a carved top. that would make them irresistible to me You might want to check out a Hamer Studio. Mid 90s and after. Great players & pretty well priced lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 that one with the dual volume pots.. (I assume that's why it has three pots), I'd hit that in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

american cheez Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 oooohhh those carved top DCs are nice! i really like the shape of the horns on the xpl. one of those with a fixed bridge and a flamed carved top would be enough to make me sell the LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertscott Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I bought this new for my son back in '02. It was his very 1st "REAL" guitar. This is the one I've got! It's a beauty. Same finish and everything. Only difference is I have 2 gold humbuckers. Favourite guitar I've ever played and it's mine all mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirScoot Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I bought this new for my son back in '02. It was his very 1st "REAL" guitar. Very pretty guitar although I do have a soft spot for the amber finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
