t_ross - Weren't you already part of our exclusive tortoise shell pg club? If not then tomorrow put that puppy on and become who you were destined to be.
Nope, can't say that I was part of your club, but it sounded so enticing!Originally Posted by tone2thebone
Anyway, it's on order from GuitarFetish. One thing I just noticed, it's a 3ply pg B/W/TS - that white accent is going to look killer with the binding already on the guitar!
Can't wait for the instant improvement in my playing/tone I'll post pix when she's all doctored up.

(I wonder how it would look leaning against a Messa Triple Rectifier )

Trev - With a new Triple Rectifier you could be in your OWN exclusive club!
Wow t_ross, that sure looks sweet. I've been coming around to tortoise shell recently myself. Although I ended up with white pearl on my Lake Placid Blue SX jazz, I did go with a tortoise shell on the neglected white Squier my kids are no longer interested in.
What do you think of Peavey's imports? I currently own 3 domestic Peavey's, my highly modded '94 Reactor (which I've owned since new), my project '91 Predator, and my most recent, a '93 Foundation bass. I've always been impressed with Hartley's ability to produce a good quality product at a reasonable price.

I'm reasonably impressed with my EXP, especially after having a new GraphTech nut installed and a pro set-up done. We cover a wide variety of music and I can get everything from Strat to Tele to (almost) SG like tones out of it - learning to play with volume and tone controls rather than cranking everything wide-open. The H/S/S config and 5-way switching is pretty versatile. I would like to try some different p'ups at some point, though these are supposed to be "high output". Maybe a JB bucker in the bridge and Texas Specials in the neck and mid?Originally Posted by r_a_smith3530
Fit and finsih on the rest of the guitar is quite good. The neck is smooth and as fast as I need right now. The hardware might be a bit cheap, but for under $200 CAD who can complain?
I'll post some pictures once I have my new PG on!

...and it was for a standard Tele, not the "Nashville" style I ordered (with the cut-out for the middle p'up).
I emailed Guitar Fetish right away and within 2 hours I have a response! I have to mail this p/g back, but I'm getting 3 sets of strings to cover my shipping costs! Wow! Pretty good customer service in my books.
Great bunch to deal with. Give 'em some business.
