Camstone Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Pulled the trigger on this Phantom Custom off of Reverb. Made the seller an offer and he took it. Looks like a sweet top and super clean. Been wanting one of these for ten + years, ever since I played JohnnyB's at Pesocasters house. Prolly be here next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorrow Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Those look Brian May-ish. I'm starting to like them quite a bit. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camstone Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 This guitar arrived a couple of weeks ago and after some tweeking to the setup is freekin' awesome! I love how I can get Strat sounds out of it. It is in unbelievably great condition and has a sweet maple top and sienna sunburst finish. I have a 3 hour gig today up at Benson Winery in Lake Chelan and brought it along as a member of the harem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Very nice guitar. Just out of curiosity: As I see no pickup-switch, what do the knobs do, how to get different sounds out of it? Gabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabe The knob by the pickguard is volume, the next one back is tone and the rear knob is a five way pickup selector that works like a strat (bridge, bridge -middle, middle, middle-neck, neck). I have an inbound chicken head knob so that I can visually see what setting it's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camstone Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Here's a couple of pics from yesterday's gig at Benson Vineyards. The Phantom in action, and my quiver for the event: Junior, Phantom, Superpro, Duocat 12 and Mr Quilty. It was a three hour show, so I actually played them all.

veatch Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 ^^^ Still love that junior... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Those are another guitar that appeals to me. If i didn't already have a Steve Morse, I'd seriously consider hunting one down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
