NGD - Custom 22

[DougUSMC]

When you're a lety, you grab them as soon as you see one you like. I've been waiting for a Custom 22 that I liked for a while, and found this '99 10 Top a couple of weeks ago. The seller had it to me in a day, if UPS hadn't lost her for a week.

Now if you'll all excuse me I'm off to play some of my favorite Dropkick Murphy tunes!!

Very nice! I'm liking the green at the moment, I saw a green PS that I really liked, but the back was white ash, so a no for me.

Thicc! Give it these lampshade knobs

Been there, done that. The only thing more annoying than drilling another strap knob hole is switching the pickup selector in my armpit.

Was there supposed to be a link?? Super interested in seeing what you were talking about...

Everyone here knows that I am a CU22 guy!

 

[Broseph]

congrats. Being a righty I never stared at the lefty versions to realize they flip the birds. Pretty cool
Taking the cu22 plunge myself this week. Currently in transit although I already have some mods lined up since it's not stock

Not trying to hijack this thread but you’re really going to enjoy the Custom 22 headed your way.

Awesome!!!!! GREEN guitars do sound better!!!! Congrats!

 

[DougUSMC]

Thanks all!! I *knew* in my head that it would play differently, but TBH I'm shocked at HOW different it really feels in my hands.

Is it ok to say I might like it more than my 24?

(Shhhh, no one tell her)

Beautiful! I got my CU22 a few weeks ago. Love it, but would have preferred the toggle switch - the blade is in the wrong position with the trem installed. A minor inconvenience… CU22’s are the be(a)st!

I get it, yeah.. not everybody loves where that 5-way is located. However, look at it this way--position #2 (bridge HB + neck s/c) is such a cool almost-acoustic tone but still has some meatiness to it. And it's a sound you can't get with the 3-way toggle + push/pull OR even the old rotary. So... on the bright side...!
