I'm Waiting For The Man

[László]

Perhaps The Velvet Underground should have sung, "I'm Waiting For The Man In The Brown Truck."

Out for delivery...

Or their other song, Heroin". It IS sorta like an addiction, no?

Very nice!

 

[vchizzle]

Ohh baby! That looks even better out in the sun! May your wait be short my friend.

It's an addiction for sure! But less bad than some...

By the way, I think Sweet Jane is holding the guitar.

Thanks! It does look better than the original shots I posted!

I had a feeling it would, because Jack told me he was just getting used to a new camera when he took the originals, and that the guitar really was more eye-popping in person. I've been sitting here since very, very early this morning, waiting for that truck like a kid waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. LOL!!

More pics and tone report to follow after it arrives and I have a chance to put it through an amp...

Another one?
Very cool Les.

 

[JustRob]

That is a beauty! We're going to miss you around here when that gets in your hands instead of your keyboard.

Another one?

I know! Three electric guitars now!

Probably my limit. Any more than that, and I won't survive String Change Day. Not to mention the difficulty of trying to decide which one to record with.

Great looking guitar

 

[John Beef]

Well, you pretty much have the big three there. Thinner body/24 fret with a trem, single cut with two piece bridge and individual volumes, thicker body doublecut with 22 frets and a stoptail. What more do you need?

My trio is much more low-rent but I am happy with them and feel like I've got the bases covered.

 

[WEDGE]

Gorgeous.

 

[g.wizz]

:adore:
the other 3 beauties will be very green from envy :beer:

 

[bodia]

Very nice. Anticipation is a b****!

It came and I just got done with a couple of hours with it. I'm gonna post a separate thread later, but for now I'll just say this thing is so freakin' resonant, and its voice is so different from my other PRSes because of the maple neck! I really need to collect my thoughts, but this is a stellar beastie in every way.

One thing about Jack Gretz...when he gets together with Paul Smith, and they pick out some wood, man, it's some really good-sounding wood! But there are lots of little details I should go into in a real review. :top:

 

[Chris Lee]

Holy cow! Clips!

"Out for Delivery" are both the best and worst 3 words you can read, haha.

Enjoy!

 

[stratcpo]

Looking forward to the review on that beast. Congrats. ENJOY!!!

 

[Rachmaninoff]

We need more pictures, man... :dancing:

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Bangin'!

Now I know I have said this before, but I gotta hear ya belt out a little AC/DC
My favorite band of all time of course.

Set your amp up for some crunch, and play me some riffs.
I just entertained three coworkers in my breakroom here at work with Hells Bells, Whole Lotta Rosie, and Sin City.

Is there an Archon in your future too for some recording you may have to do, or can you get the "dirt" you need with your current amp lineup and pedals?

 

[László]

I can do it just like AC/DC did it in the old days; crank the HXDA and put a pedal in front if needed, and go!

The only problem of course is that I don't actually know any AC/DC songs...

Hey, I write my own music! What can I say? I don't bother learning cover stuff!

 

[G-Man]

Now THAT is a top. Very nice guitar and good luck with it.
