On board (again) : just bought a super P! I love my NG2, but it’s probably sounding a bit more edgy/modern than what most of what I play asks for... so I’ve been drooling over super P pics for quite some time now, and stumbled upon this one, that’s at home since last week: View attachment 3886817

Oooooh, that's purdy. Amazing photography skills too -- what sort of camera were you using?Meanwhile back in North America, Canada in particular this Combustion 5 C3 in Vintageburst found its first home. Mine.

For my part, at least as it relates to SJ models, I think they look better and more "classic" (i.e. Fender'ish) with the pickguard and that aesthetic suits me better than the ones without. I can't help but feel that the Combustion and NG models are trying to strike a middle ground between classic and modern with their styling. Obviously since they're not custom order models the purchaser doesn't have as much control. Perhaps Dingwall should release a number without the guard and see how they do. They're a hot enough commodity that I can't see it being a risky proposition for them regardless of which version sells better.
I seem to remember when the Combustion models first came out the pick guard was an option. Am I miss-remembering?
Can confirm, my v1 Combustion came without a pickguard.I seem to remember when the Combustion models first came out the pick guard was an option. Am I miss-remembering?
Very very nice. I’d say the most overlooked finish out there.Meanwhile back in North America, Canada in particular this Combustion 5 C3 in Vintageburst found its first home. Mine.
