bassetman Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 My name is Tom....I have a Guitar Problem. It is SWEET. The Fender Pickups sounds good. It has the 7.25” radius neck and a chunky profile. I hauled it in for 300. It was simpler to make a harness than work out what the previous was attempting. I put the Babicz saddles on. Most of the originals were stripped in at least on screw.

bassetman Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 I have not wieghd it, but it’s light. The pickups really are expressive they grow on you. I keep thinking SD P-Rails though. The electrics and the bridge were hacked at by an ape. The rest is pristine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Beautiful! I'm another who likes the rounded 'board on a Fender. Congrats! When you say "300" is that US Dollars?....... Fortunate Chap! Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassetman Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Thanks all. I’ve just played it most of the night. Outside of wanting some taller frets this is a great Guitar. After a much needed neck adjust action is quite low..about 1.2 mm on low E no buzzes at all. Plays all the way up and down without any fret outs that these necks are renowned for. Mid neck bends are nice but I need to get used to the radius...I keep losing strings. ;) I’m not in love with the tuners, split shaft vintage type, but it solidly stays in tune.. yes 300 bucks. It had no output. It has the three bolt neck that I’ll replace with a warmouth in the fat back profile to get some fancy wood and frets I prefer. Could be awhile till I put it down though. Sounds good through the 65 deluxe. :) have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
