Bought this guitar brand new on 19 Nov.1998, from «New Age Strings» in the USA.
This guitar is in a remarkable good condition and comes with the original hard case.
It has one Humbucker (DiMarzio Blaze 2), to pot meters (vol.- & tone control) with «sure grip II» buttons. “Gold” metal tailpiece. Woods: neck: 3 staves of Mahogany, fingerboard Ebony with AR square position indicators. Measurements: body 17", thickness 2 ?/??". Color: sunburst. Metal parts: «gold». frets: 20 medium, type of frets: SBB213-175. Bridge: Ebony custom.
Had a new bridge top made, with room for the pickup part of a Roland GK2A, while its control unit is fixed to the top of the guitar with 2-sidet tape. This way the guitar can be connected to a guitar synthesizer or get an acoustic sound, but of course only from the top 6 strings. The GK2A is included.
The guitar can be tried in Bergen, Norway. Transportation to be discussed.

A real American success story. Many younger artists playing the instruments and...
I'm not dogmatic about always playing accurate to the recordings. So I happily play the Real Book changes to most tunes. Although I do try to consistently do ear work on the recordings and pick up...
I meant the debate about the first chord of Stella. As you can see, it carries on for lots more posts. It may be an eggheads delight but we should all know about it... so we can see it coming,...
It certainly delivers. There is nothing else at this moment that allows such synchronization with the video recorder relatively far from the mic, and wireless.
And if that comes in handy, then of...
Interesting guitar but not something I would like. I am sure it sounds and works great. The 1000 are the best really no question in my opinion. Also, you cannot compare the acoustic sounds of these 2...
Thanks! Been lurking for years on and off but never posted.
Lately I'm returning to the sounds of my youth and am playing my archtops more and more.
I'm sure I'm not alone. :smile-new:
