    NICE! I'm was thinking about another 51 near years end.... but I really think a Vortex is next. That's a great top!

    You guys that have taken delivery of your
    Benavente's lately should have let them
    go to NAMM so I could try them all out on
    Friday morning at 10:00am sharp! Mine
    will be there with new J S Tech pick ups
    loaded in it. Brian says it sounds very 'thick".
    I can't wait to try it out with the new pickups.
    Dan

    Edit: Oops..sorry Hman your Vortex is beauty!
    Yours too John!!!:D

    James, you should get a Vortex or a Vintage Vortex! Very different feel to the 51P. You'll love it! I must work on a new Benavente family photo for you.:D

    Wow! I think yours and John's Benaventes are the nicest I've seen. I like them better than the neck thru SC versions.

    Thanks Jeff...I like my SC5 very much too! It has a rounder neck than the vortex and 51p. Both necks has low and fast action. It just feels right to me.

    BTW, love to see your Nordstrand SC soon!
