I had one ten top, it was perfectly uniform flame. I much prefer anything quilt or flame with inconsistencies and character.

Core due to the inconsistency...and better looking than a homogeneous perfectly uniform 10-top! It's a looker for sure.

Wish I still had mine. I probably know enough now to get the tone I want out of it. I'd hang it next to my Hoyt.

That pot looks cross threaded. That's not OK. I had a camo SE, had trouble getting the tones I wanted out of it, did better with other early SEs. I wanted it to work. I have two seasons, hunting and guitar. The crossover was nice...

Well done Private Joker. Amazing guitar.

It happens every once in a while on the side of the rosewood. From what I understand, once it's fixed it's fine.

Nice! Keep in mind that Antique White sounds even better. These S2s are amazing. I love the necks, the Pattern Regular.

I have a CE24 Mahogany. I have bought and sold CE maple tops because they did not sound as good. I even swapped pickups and did blind tests with my son to make sure. It's a one-piece heavy slab of mahogany. I actually never loved the HFS and put a Pearly Gates in the bridge. The VB in the...

That trem block is stainless...very heavy in relation to the Volvo engine.

This is a dime special. Income is low at the moment, so I sold my EG which I didn't play much. Bought a beater USA Peavey Predator with with Mexican Strat pickups for $120. It looked just like the black one below, but more beat up. $20 for Transtint purple, leftover sandpaper, shellac and...

Yeah, the SC Trem is great and inexpensive on the open market. The USA VB pickup works stellar in them IMNHO

It's real, enjoy it.

That's funny! We did a Pearly Gates bridge battle with the singlecut and the 245 last week. Clean, the singlecut sounds way better, the 245 is very twangy. However, put up the drive and that twangy results in gnarly pinch harmonics. Could be the individual pickup, guitar, who knows...

If you meant the picture of my Hoyt...most excellent. We'll be eating well this year, no tofu. Colorado has provided us with plenty of meat.

+1 on the Duncan Pearly Gates Bridge pickup. The neck is a bit too dark for me. The bridge rules.
