It did, I got the first Vintera II in 'Competition Burgundy' that came into a local store. And that is the guitar superbeetle, absolutely love it for guitar - I'm probably picking up the bass version today, a GC by me has a used one for $200

Picked this up on a whim, it is by far the most inspiring bass I've owned. I will say that the beyond horrendous unacceptable QC for MIM Fenders continues to blow my mind, but I'm glad they at least figured out fret sprout. This was the absolute worst out-of-the-box setup instrument I've ever...

Thanks! I leave nearby a great luthier called McGibney Guitars who gave me a great deal on this one when the original build requester went through financial trouble. It's all normal gibson burst thunderbird specs, aside from having firebird style pickups instead of thunderbirds. (Apparently...

Posting the current massive bass collection, still trying to decide what to do string-wise for the Tbird. Currently wearing 9050s, but I think I'm going to go back to regular slinkies. I do love that bass, but I need a much longer strap and a serious setup to reduce the string rattling.Knobs...

Very cool, it's what made me pull the trigger on this one. I've been lifting head weights for months to try to reach the normal head size. Interestingly enough, in several interviews he's said that they're 'medium gauge' long scale labellas. Kinda goes to show how much we all overthink this...

Yeah I pushed it even farther back now, and wouldn't you know, it works. Doesn't look pretty, but it is intonated. As a side note, it's cool to see something similar to the squier in action in high quality recordings (obviously this is the Fender version, but certainly a familiar tone)

The 12th is consistently too sharp - I can get it close-ish, but hence the crazy saddle position

Interesting, seems something must be wrong with my string then, I believe it's fine stringing wise. You don't need a huge backwards runway for the Low E like my bridge here?

Hi friends, recently grabbed one of these and totally in love. No needs for mods on mine, although I may slowly address the bad satin finish on the neck and not-so-friendly finished fret ends. Surprisingly loving how Chromes sound a lot on these, which are typically my least favorite flats on...
