    I hope that isn't one of the ones that were recalled. You did read about that before you bought didn't you?








    Okay I'm kidding. Congratulations! What guitar are you gong to get next?:

    Ah, yes, exploding Suhr syndrome, they are especially prone to combustion when plugged into any Mack, Reverend, or Marshall amph.:

    Thanks guys!

    It's Olympic White.

    It has a C vintage medium neck with stainless steel frets. It has Suhr V60 LP pickups and the only thing I am missing on it is the Silent Single Coil system (SSC). I only need that for gigs, and I could by a back plate system with it installed later on.

    The price was 40% less than a new one.

    It has 2 dings - they are visible but I don't really care about that. It is reported to be in fantastic shape otherwise.

    It has a Callaham steel block, and a Gotoh 1088 bridge.

    It has a wanger bar.

    Oldguy is dead on - that's where it's at right now, in NJ. Shipping tomorrow.

    Guess what - Canada Post workers are apparently on strike! : Just my luck - it's being shipped with USPS.

    Did I miss anything? Oh yeah, I already have a boutique amp - the Heatseeker! It's all handwired with quality parts.

    Hey, congrats Robert. Does this mean you will stop referring to yourself in the third person?

    Strum, as soon as the guitar arrives, Robert will stop the annoying thing you are referring to. I am making sure he does. (wait, who am I then?)

    That is great news Robert! It was really exciting following your posts and your reflections on what to buy and what not to buy. In the end I think you made the right decision to go for the Suhr. Olympic white is a beautiful colour and the guitar will lift you up into new spheres! Can't wait to listen to your clips and to watch the videos you will make. Poor "Robert's-Other-Guitars"....will they be ever played again?

    Fender would charge 40% more for those dings!! Looks like a great buy, can't wait for the videos. Congrats!
