Also disappointing that, if I read it correctly, that NR wasn't even originally built for a left-handed player.
How would the strings affect that? I'm leaning towards "who knows".
I see nothing wrong in someone doing this. It really is a seller's market when it comes to rare vintage instruments. There are people to whom $3K above market value is a drop in the bucket... that's who the seller is looking for and sadly for most of us it ain't us.
Exactly. Nothing wrong unless you want it but can't afford it.
Tension of the string, windings, core shape, everything that makes string "X" different from string "Y". Sound is a very finicky thing, by that I mean it doesn't take much to differ a sound.

I'm just going by observation. I've seen it happen when I change to a different brand of string and I've seen it no matter the string set.
I despise flippers - I'd do it for free, except I'm on the wrong side of the country. I'm sure you'll find a taker.
Gotcha. Oh well, as long as it intonates I guess.
By the way, I realized that the strings I asked about have the colors reversed from the Steve Harris ones.

Unless of course you have a sat/nav system in your car, or worse yet - OnStar. And don't forget, large sums of cash (excess of a couple thousand bucks) which would be needed for the credit cardless trip put you into a drug related money laundering profile if stopped by the police and therefore is subject to confiscation along with all other assets you have in your possession. Then there's all the traffic cameras and toll road booth cameras to deal with. Na, just get some local talent for the job, it's best that way. Besides, I think I'd kinda stick out a bit in a Speed yellow Porsche Cayman or a Zenith Blue (violet/purple) Porsche 911. I get pulled over just doing the speed limit in those cars.Drive to NYC without your phone and credit card, no one will ever notice
Hey, maybe you could start a crowd fund - call it "Cap a Flipper", I'll donate.
Can't argue that!Just about...
Love classic Gibson/Epiphone shaped guitars/basses, and Epi's are amazing good value for money and offer cool models that you cannot get under the Gibson brand. Fortunately I am in a position where I can afford getting the stuff I like when good deals show up.

I forgot about the nav systems. Yesterday was the first time I drove a vehicle from the past 3 decades since April, my daily doesn't even have a radio never mind Nav systems

The NR is a Bach, repainted and modded but still just a Bach.
It's still cool though.
Although, i would always prefer the real thing.
edit; actually, i didn't know it was a Bach.
I edited the post there's a real one there now, or so i think.
