Did you get the one second from the right? That's a really great sounding and playing guitar. It rings like a bell and has such a great color. The only reason I moved it on was because it became redundant when I got the Dantzig. -

Very interesting. There was an Abe Rivera on Reverb not long ago. The woodworking on his guitars is insane. -

It's a basic setup - tone and volume for each pickup and a 3-way selector. The A6 pickups are made by Seymour Duncan for Benedetto and are very nice. -

Let me know if you're ever in Charlotte and you can swing by and strum some chords. -

Been a bit since I've posted and thought some might find this recent purchase interesting. Started looking at 335 styles a few years ago and narrowed it down to either a Collings I-35 or the elusive Benedetto GA-35, which is pretty difficult to find as there were only around 40 produced before getting the obligatory "cease and desist" from Gibson. Fortunately, I found a collector in CA who had decided it was time to thin his heard. He commissioned and received this build 10 years ago, plucked it a couple of times and tucked it away for a decade. It was basically mint upon arrival to me. This is a spectacular, otherworldly instrument. Light antique burst maple flame top, mahogany back and sides, ebony board with bird inlays. Phenomenal playing and sounding guitar.

Thanks for the update - these sound like incredible instruments! I cannot wait to check out David Bs.

Anyone have any thoughts on the overall tone and playability?

Congrats to all. it was easy to see early on these were going to be very special. I need to plan a trip up the skreet to see David Bs when he gets his

I thought the same thing as well, then i figured it was the look of someone who just crapped their pants from the sheer excitement of getting a dream guitar.

PSA: Crazy expensive Ibanez
coolfeel replied to polara's topic in For Sale - Wanted to Buy - PIF - eBay & Other PSAs
someone will have to love Steve Vai's signature a whole lot to invest that much coin. Personally, I would buy it for about $500.00 with the signature. Maybe more without it... -
!!! Jackson Soloist vs. Hamer Californian !!!
coolfeel replied to Feynman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
Diablo - you may know as much as anyone here, is the build quality of Jackson Custom Shop similar, better, worse or just different than Hamer? -
Amazing work Mike!

That is a helluva arsenal... Congrats man, glad to hear the guits are working well! The Cali Custom I sold you is a very fun guitar to play live, the guys in my band told me it was their favorite of my guitars...lol
