PSA: 1990 Centura USA Metallic Red, reverse headstock, OHSC


Recommended Posts

  • Ham Rex changed the title to PSA: 1990 Centura USA Metallic Red, reverse headstock, OHSC

Snagged it outside of the bay and reverb. 

Been lurking looking for an uber clean Centaura at a fair price. We shall see how nice it is soon. NGD post coming next week.  (LOL thanks toadroller for the acronym tip)

Nice! I have it's identical twin. It's my only guitar now( just for noodling) being that I play bass. I can say it plays better than or as good as any guitar I have ever owned. I've had several different USA Hamers, PRS, etc. Plus, I dig the side markers.

Good to know and happy to hear Ralph! I have a USA Diablo and it plays very smoothly. I have two slammer series centauras and this will be my first USA!

Not a full NGD, but her are some prelim pics...  just received it today. Its in stellar shape for 31 years old. Some checking, hard to capture by photo. 

PS- my korean slammer is not as nice overall, but honestly, the slammer series after mods, are pretty legit..... Just sayin....

Maybe you could enlighten me on how you made that happen. Pls message me if you care to share. I could use a cool technique like that.

What does NGD mean?

Thx

Update.

Spent a solid week playing this guitar. It really, truly plays so smooth. I thought the neck was a tad big at first, but it's real comfortable, and surprisingly fast! I love the ability to do vintage sounds, and then go right into harder rock. It's very versatile instrument. 

The surprise is the natural resonance the guitar has acoustically . I'll say the same for my USA diablos as well. Very resonant guitars. I understand the quality of the wood(s) and luthiership in these USA models. This Centaura is a keeper for sure !

My modded 94' Korean Centaura doesn't  have that natural quality/ resonance that you can feel in your hands. Not a bad guitar, but not in the same league even with all the mods. I spoke too soon above...

 Anyhoo, I'm still looking for a clean maple fretboard variation with minimal to no paint checking like this one. Ocd is a bitch and patience is a virtue... 😊
