Yippy ki yay...
I haven’t seen much about these around here. I put a black one of these on my radar awhile back.
Then this one popped up on Reverb, used, for a good price. Then I noticed it already had an adjustable bridge and phase II style locking tuners…Bonus!
Pulled the trigger and here it is! Apparently this little guy did some gigging and recording in the Nashville area, so it’s got that mojo going for it. Someone dressed the nut nicely. It plays and sounds great! I swapped the controls around to put the bridge volume up front, next to the bridge pup. With the 4 knob controls it’s capable of a wide variety of tones and voicings. The thick body is a little on the tubby side, but it’s nicely balanced. Super comfortable to play. I'm getting to like the 24.5” scale length, which my ZM also sports.
It's a keeper
I’ve got one more thing planned for it to finish it off…more on that next week…
