Number 0316.

Recently acquired from Harald, a consolation prize, as he would not let me pry 0030 from his hands....

I did make him promise to give me first dibs though..............





This pic gets the colour better.



The not so good bits.

Lots of wear & tear/battle scarring, looks like someone used a scotchbrite pad to clean it at some point, refin on the neck, tonepro bridge and T/P, Grovers replacing the original Schallers.

The good bits.

It plays like a dream and sounds fabulous even with the original P/Us replaced by a pair of Dimarzio super distortions and all the not so good bits means it's not likely to remain in the case for long plus being in the EU there was no import duty to pay.

The deal with Harald was very smooth, seems a cool geezer.

incredible eye candy, has to be one of the best threads ever on this forum /emoticons/default_wub.png

guess i'll add a pic of my '07 custom here, although it pales in comparison to many of the others posted already...

Very hot!

Did you ever play it? It looks almost untouched.
that's actually one of the original pics from the first few days of ownership, but have not played it that much since acquiring so it's still as clean as the day i got it...

 
So since I learned how to post pix - this is overdue.

2003 Standard Custom in Indigo. Inlaid logo, abalone (good quality MOTS?) side markers, amber knobs, pearloid tuners, poker chip - beautiful and absolutely spotless. Picked it up 2 years ago from a fellow HFCer, and it's belonged to at least one other HFC brother. Seth Lover p'ups, light weight and sounds great! Sorry about the bad pics - I'll replace them when I get some better shots
