ronmail65 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 SOLD am the original owner of this great guitar. Asking $550 which includes shipping to you within the continental U.S. Email me directly with questions or if you're interested rbedsaul1@verizon.net. This is a great playing, great sounding, high quality instrument. The guitar is in excellent working condition and very good cosmetic condition. It has been played and has light pick scratches. There is a little hameritis around the neck joint as shown in the photos. No cracks, breaks, or structural repairs of any kind. It has schaller straplock buttons and comes with its original hardshell case. I'm selling a bunch of stuff right now -- I have too many guitars!!
hamerican gigolo Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Awesome price. Nice guitar & color. Good luck with the sale. P.S. What the hell is this,Phantoms on parade week?
ronmail65 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 Yes, it is 'Phantoms on Parade Week' and it's a damn shame!! I really enjoyed these guitars for years. I still do! But I've become more of a strat player lately and have way too many guitars just hanging around. I really hope these go to good homes - that's why I'd rather sell them here than on eBay.
Hamer of the gods Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 What is the neck profile on these like? Also, what are the pickups? I'm not too familiar with this model, I thought it was called "Prototype?" Please excuse my ignorance, it's a great looking guitar!
ronmail65 Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 The neck feels like a stratocaster to me -- an even roundness but not as big as a Les Paul neck. I think they play great. Definitely not an LP 50's neck or a broad flat shredder neck -- it's right in the middle.It has Duncan pickups, as stock. The triple coil pick, know as the 'Mother Bucker', is actually a Duncan '59 and a Duncan single coil (not sure what model). They switch using a 3 way toggle. Go from chunky SG tone to single coil spank or both combined. For a very simple configuration, it's got a lot of tonal flexibility.Re: the history of this model, I believe it evolved from the Prototype. There were earlier Phantoms that had elongated bodies -- like if this guitar was put on a rack and unevenly stretched another 4-6 inches longer. Then came the Prototype -- which was essentially the same as this guitar. That sort of evolved into the Steve Stevens. Then came a resurgence of the Phantom in the late 1990's (what you see here), but in the form of a Prototype body.
