Abaco Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I've seen photos of one of these - a Studio with a Floyd Rose on it. Anybody here own one? I assume they are pretty rare. Anybody here get to play one? I imagine they bring a pretty penny.
sw686blue Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Yeah, I think one of the Matthes brothers has one. There are definitely a few floating around.
sw686blue Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Yeah, I think one of the Matthes brothers has one. There are definitely a few floating around. One more thing...I think that it use to belong to Scotti Hill of Skidrow. Beautiful tobacco burst.
tomteriffic Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I've seen one other in the flseh, it hung on the wall unsold for about 8 years at the shop down the street from me. 59 Burst & Gold hardware Custom.
Brooks Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 rob (iownit) has a few schweet sunbursts w/ floyds, i theeenk...
HamStd Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I have one, but I think it might be a factory second studio as they sort of messed up and put one of those extendo fingerboards on it with 27 frets and the body shape is a bit offset and they blended the neck joint at the heel.... Maybe it was a Monday on the assembly line when this was made and the builder didn't have his first cup of coffee. Mistakes aside, I still like the piece and think I'll keep it. Peter. P.S. Abaco are you going to Hurric-aid??
cmatthes Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Yeah, Peter, that one looks pretty messed up!So much for quality control...
pesocaster Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 dang Peter...... no one should have to play that thing... send it to me and I'l dispose of it properly....... I understand they got the scale on it wrong too... 25.5?
HamStd Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I got my Kim Keller "Fix-it" video out and followed his step by step tips and fixed up that old "factory second' hamer. The cutaways on the guitar are more even now. What do you think? Now this looks more like a Studio/sunburst with a floyd. Enjoy. Peter.
iownit4 Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I have a few !!and always looking for more floyded and non floyded early 90's Sunburst...http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/iownit4/IMG_0024.jpghttp://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/iownit4/img_0013.jpg
pesocaster Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 other than the Watson... were there any long scale studios made? (25.5")
