First Core model incoming

[64 Tele]

Found a 2015 Wood Library Custom 24 with 57/08's this week.
Just bought it and picking up next Friday or Sat as I didn't want to ship this time of year. Gonna be a long week. We're supposed to have freezing rain/snow tomorrow (after severe thunderstorms/tornado watch today) or else I'd get after work or in am.
Hope I didn't just ruin myself for my SE' s by doing this.....

Congrats. I got my first Core back in March and I love it. But, trust me and other enablers here, you will still want some SEs and of course a new S2.

Great one to start your Core Journey with!

Aww yeah!!

Store where I found it earlier this week is about 1.5 hours away. Just don't have any days off I can pick up till next week.
If weather wasn't so crappy tomorrow I'd be there to get it.
So, pics will have to wait.
I'd looked at 594's, McCarty's also, but my first prs was an SE Custom 24 and they are just really comfy like a Strat.

That'll be an awesome guitar. I had a 2014 with 57/08s and it was a serious workhorse. Here's to a speedy week!

You'd be surprised what someone like, ohhhhhhh, ME would be willing to drive in to go pick up a purchase that I am looking forward to.

You could be back home playing it in about 4 hours...Have a safe trip...

Attaboy!

Freezing rain/snow in am.

Didn't drive to pick it up, just pulled pics off website.
We are currently getting hammered weather wise.
It's a sleeping in the basement kind of night ahead of us.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Yeah that’s flamin’ hot, congrats!!

 

[64 Tele]

In person the top looks more like the last pic.
I've been under two tornado warnings in two different states in the last two hours......
Freezing rain/snow in am....plagues and pestilence to follow.

 

[StillCantankerous]

That thing is like Rudolph, hot enough to cut through any storm Mother Nature can dish out.

Well, maybe you should just wait. But SOOO cool, love me a good Blood Orange and the swamp ash and flamed maple are gorgeous. Bet that will scream with the 57/08s! Let us know how she sounds...

 

[Black Plaid]

Ohh, la la, that neck! I love how the color and woods came together.

 

[Alan Manning]

Nice I'm chuffed for ya. great addition and I'm sure your S/E.s will still get plenty of love, mine do.!!!

Neck binding was dark, not the usual cream/white binding. I hadn't seen any other Core models with dark binding in my search.
I actually prefer the dark binding, only have one guitar ('61 SG Standard RI) with light colored neck binding.
