So I've been drooling a bit over the new Silver Sky colors.
But I really want a maple fretboard.
I also drooled a bit over the new SE Paul's Guitar.
But it is a stop tail, and although that seems to be what Paul likes, there are core Paul's that were made with trems. And there are a few used ones available at not totally ridiculous prices.
On the other hand, I've had a hankering for a DC3 forever, and that hasn't really been abated by the Silver Sky, especially since maple board versions are available every now and then, although prices have grown in the last year.
Or maybe an NF3. Those narrow fields are supposed to be a bit single-coil-ish. Hmm, any available (or ever made) with a maple board?
Maybe an EG? Hmm, not sure if any come with maple boards. That maple board thing is getting to be either a virtue or flaw in my plans.
Ooh, how about a SAS 25th with 3 NFs? None available right now at useful prices, but they also pop up occasionally. And they often have maple boards.
As you can see, I seem to be in a strat-ish whammy-bar based platform mode. Either true single coils or NFs, but something with a trem for sure.
DC3? NF3? Paul's? EG? SAS-NF? Finally give into the lure of the Silver Sky?
So I bought a Starla. (S2 variant.)
Hey, at least I got one with the Bigsby, not the stop-tail variant.
Should be here next week.
