Congrats on the incoming Vela. Love my Tele. My Baja is my go to for songwriting. It stands proudly on stage next to my Standard 24 as well. I'm intrigued by the Vela, but I think I've bought my last guitar for quite a while.
I finally found the perfect compliment to my Standard 24. For some reason with my other rigs, it always sounded so lifeless. My SE's and my S2 were screamers through my Mesa and Marshall amps, but didn't have the same neck feel. I was ready to give up and pull the pickups when I tried pairing it...
Never heard of Lambertones until now. Definitely going to start binging YouTube videos. Didn’t think to go antiquities. Also doing to check them out. I may even leave it alone and grab an SE version as my guinea pig/ test mule for pickups.
I'm a huge fan of the S2 Starla, but the pickups aren't really playing nicely with my rig. My other PRS guitars and my F type guitars all sing, but the Starla sounds like a guard dog barking. Has anyone swapped out their pickups? I was leaning toward Bare Knuckle Mules or Stormy Mondays, but I'm...
Update: the parts caster has a backplate. My Am St is strangely missing hers. Suspect children with too much freedom. My Core is intact, resting comfortably in spite of all the battle scars.
I'm not sure I ever gave the backplate on any of my guitars more than a passing glance, except to see what color it was. Or if I put it on upside down. I'm going to have to do some serious research when I get home today. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever put the one back on my parts caster.
More colors!

I can't tell if I want one because it's the UGLIEST thing I've ever seen, or the coolest.
Definitely my S2 Starla. Stays in tune no matter how hard i abuse the bigsby. Couple of pedals and i can approximate my Tele. Good enough to not switch them on stage. And my Bernie is my Starla's backup.
Looks great. LOOOVE Bigsbys. Never able to get my Starla out of tune. Gretschs go out of tune because the stupid bridge isn't pinned in place and it moves when you use the bar. (In my experience). Out of my price range.
