Hi FreebornJohn,

 

Nice to see another Dutchman with an '88 Silverburst 'SE'.

 

Nice thing to add..it's a solid body. Most have swiss cheese holes (which started in the early 80's). This one is 100% solid.

 

How do you like the guitar?

 

Has yours turned green or bronze? Mine did....

 

I'm looking forward to see pictures of your '88 SE!

Hi Bram,

 

More dutchies here Great!

 

My LP is excactly the same as the one as "silverburst" has and indeed it became a bit yellowish/bronze over time. Also some screws became a bit rusty. (i haven't though).

 

I love the guitar, lots of sustain and the sound is very versatile, deep warm at the neck and screaming at the bridge.

I play it over a Peavey 5150 with only a little delay. Its a very aggressive combination and makes a lovely bite.

 

Still haven't worked out the picture thing yet.

Cheers.

Hey '88 Silverburst, Welcome.

 

You were wise to hang on to your original. I haven't seen too many of those. It looks like it has the ceramic pickups (without pole adjustment screws). Before going to PRS, Carlos Santana used to play the L6-S model Gibsons with those pickups and really made them scream.

 

Best Wishes !
