The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

Thanks

My pleasure.
Don't forget there is a massive brains trust here regarding, technique, gear, instruments, set up repairs and mods. There are also a number of YT channels that are worth subscribing to IMNSHO for the same reason.
When I used to teach (electronics) my class slogan was 'the only dumb question is the one you didn't ask'.

Alright, I finally got this thing dialed in....Parchment pickguard, Geezers and DR low rider steels. With the sweet '84 neck and 2021 CAR nitro Nate Mendel body, it's all ready to start aging together for the next 20 years.

there is also red , and the more rare pale yellow ( or aged white ) among other fine color options . I gave in years ago and decided the best solution is one of each

and several blue options as well

wait did you say "satin" ?

@fretno I would like to know more about the schecter...

1996 U.S. "S series" those were originally oil finished and came in natural , blue & red iirc I had this refinished years ago by Pat Wilkins who was an original Schecter employee back in the day . It's a killer axe .

The s series usually had Monster tones in them but mine had a DiMarzio split from the factory . I lived with that for many years and they are not bad but I prefer the more traditional p sound and popped a Sheptone in it a couple years ago . It has a perfect 1 piece neck : love

This is a Warmoth SSB shorty with a 32" Warmoth warhead in Ziricote w/ Ebony board . The Body is Sugar Pine and was told the day of ordering it was the last piece they had . It is finished by Paul Slagle of Pittman guitars , same builder of that red P above and is just magical and crazy light . Paul passed a couple years ago and was a very talented builder & finisher . r.i.p Paul ..

it has one of Paul's friends pups in it , a Pacific North West wind and is just off the charts . another love of my life xxx
