229someday Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 That's her in the middle, fresh from the case after rolling the dice on Ebay. Mine has Lindy Fralin P-90's installed, which I'm really digging. The seller included the stock P-90's too, which I'm planning on installing on the kooky Old Kraftsman with the devil horns in the photo. I had a sunburst Korean Casino (Samick not Peerless) with the old darkened mouse-ear sunburst that I just never fell in love with about a year ago, but I ended up selling it. I'm much happier with the look and sound of this one. The seller also included the white pickguard, but I'm thinking of pimping it out w/a 3-ply black guard without the hole drilled to attach it to the side (my Gibson Country Gent' in the pic has this kind of pickguard holder, which attaches to a pad that glues to the underside instead of screwing in. I'm also thinking of either black witch-hat knobs or maybe Fender Blackface-style knobs. Last but not least, I'm saving up for a B7 Bigsby, though I'm on the fence about whether or not to go with a roller bridge. I know many of the Korean (and Chinese) Epi's are great, but my Korean Casino just seemed to be a clunker (Ebay again). I almost didn't take the chance on this one, but I played a sunburst one at our local big box store and really fell in love with them again. I'm glad I took the plunge, and while this is my first try with Lindy's pickups, they're really balanced in volume in all three positions and they just sound great. I like them even more than the stock ones I played at the store, though YMMV. I'm glad to finally be an owner instead of a lurker!
