Oooooof! That's like a punch to the gut. Pretty bass, though. I had R5L #19, green with gold pickguard. I really regret letting that one go.Here's a nice 5er in Kalifonia

Pics bro!
Got my Brad Houser in today!!!![]()

yes pics please. I'm glad it all worked out. I never heard back from the craigslister...I wonder what happened with that.
Greetings from the North,
Congrats on that tricky one. What colour did it turn out to be and did the hair tie come with it? The neck's a little wider on it but once you get used to it, it'll be hard to put the BH5 down. Have fun changing pickup settings.
Happy Times,
Rezdog
+1 on that too Chef
just to tide you over til you can post yours...

Houser-tone rawks!
I'd love to hear an A/B of that beast with normal pickups vs Nordstrands.I wish it had exposed pole pieces...oh well, can't have every damn thing you want I reckon![]()
You can see where there is some unfortunate wear to the metal near the arm guard. I have no idea how that happened, nor do I wish to know. It looks like road rash. It's not in as good a condition as I thought it would be in, but it's a bugeye.

Very nice!
If that trim piece is Stainless you can send it to me and I would be happy to buff it out for you for free. Just pay the postage. (I have a metal shop)
I couldn't agree more. Nice score, EBMatt!

Love those new 'fish, too, Folmeister. I guess you can be forgiven for letting that green PJ off the hook. Maybe.![]()
