Aren't these usually short scale if they are set neck? Was this a custom order? I agree that is the best headstock. 

Interesting that the pickups are all slugs and no screw pole pieces. That is a little different from regular 490 and 498 humbuckers. I wonder if it makes them brighter or darker?

GC's used photos are so bad it almost seems like someone is playing a joke. When you click the zoom in button the pic actually gets smaller! 

I love everything except the headstock. I've been curious about these Carlino guitars but am not in the market for another 2 humbucker tune-o-matic guitar at the moment. Good luck with the sale!!

From Captain Beefheart's 10 commandments of guitar playing: 8. Don’t wipe the sweat off your instrument "You need that stink on there. Then you have to get that stink onto your music."

Dimarzio 36th anniversary neck, Duncan 59/custom Hyrbid bridge. It's my "do it all" set.

Very cool! Can't tell if the board is a very dark piece of rosewood or if its ebony. I'm not a fan of red guitars otherwise I'd be considering it. That said, its a nice candidate for a wild refinish!

Were the knobs always metric as the seller states?

Great PAF style neck humbucker. Just prefer other things after doing some shootouts. 10" or so of lead. Nice Nickel cover. $100 shipped in the USA. For international, we'll have to check the shipping cost and figure something out. Thanks! Dave

I was all set to make an offer on this but thanks to you guys pointing out the neck break I hesitated. I tried to ask the seller a question but it sold before they even answered. I hope whoever bought it, they are happy and its not a lemon. I briefly had a Cali with boomers back in 2008 or 9...

Looks pretty good and the price is appealing considering how high they've been listed the past couple years. The description isn't super helpful. Doesn't look like an OBL pickup, as stated. 

Agreed that a 6 inline works much better with that body style.

I'm familiar with the stadium logos, but the USA seemed too close to the edge.
