This guitar has 68 frets. 68! How skinny would your fingers have to be to fret anywhere past the 5th or so. Don't even want to think of the microtonal garbage that would come from playing it. Also, dodgy paintjob.

might as well put this in the ugly thread Pabs, who has finger tips about 2mm wide ?
Agree very average paint job and is the Floyd trem cavity about 4 miles too long ?
haha 3 nice fails there Pabs ! - the 3 pics of the last post on page 4

That silvering the person is referring to is what's called the getter, it's purpose is to absorb any trace gasses left inside the glass envelope after it has been sealed after all the air has been pumped out, this does a couple of things, firstly it ensures that the heater doesn't burn out, secondly it ensures that the valve can operate properly.
Yuck.. and that fretboard makes my head spin!Quote:

And I don't see the logic in joining two trem-springs together like that either.

Many years ago I stood on a hot soldering iron wearing black nylon socks, the result was a groove in the sole of my foot sealed by a melted and dried black dressing
ouch, some nasty burn there Dave. How did you clean the artificial dressing?
Gray Waz,
After the vist from Mr Tourettes had settled down i just gritted my teeth and let it grow out, Dr Resch probably provided a suitable relaxant

Oh, one time when I was a little 5 or 6 year old kid, I was running around with a balloon and ran straight into the side of a hot barbecue because I was watching the balloon, rather than where I was going, I ended up with a big burn right down the side of my left forearm, and my mum got told off by my dad cause she was supposed to be looking after us, had to have bitumen dressings put on my burnt arm for a month and my arm bandaged up.
HahaHa.....Did the Dr prescribe Pilsner?Quote:
