NGD - JW Ltd

[bodia]

Alright. Joe Walsh Ltd landed Saturday thanks to @IshGuitars offering free overnight shipping. Initial impressions are that it is a little different that my DC 594. More mid-push due to the LT+ pickups on the JW. I can't compare it to another SC 594, but from what I recall from the 594 Shot Out at MA Pete's back in February, 2020, it doesn't sound drastically different. The frets obviously feel different. Not the "worn in" frets from the regular 594. Plays like butter, for sure. Great top. Kind of hard to photo outside in the sun. The details are easier to see on the indoor pics. Cool brazzy board, with some nice figuring. Overall, a really well done (and cool) vintage style guitar. A keeper. Some additional thought on the frets after the glamour shots, and a video from Ish on this model. Thanks again to Jesse and Jay for getting this out the door so quick. You guys rock!

Ok, here are some additional thoughts on the frets. The SS frets on the JW seem smaller, to me, than the regular frets on my DC-594. Almost small like the frets on the Silver Sky. I tried to take a couple of pics to show the difference, but it's hard to tell. I'd be interested what others that snagged on think.

That is fantastic, love the fret board! Congrats

 

[toothace]

Awesome you were able to snag one!


Sweet top!

I’ll say it again, that is a beautiful instrument. Pretty awesome that Ish Guitars took care of you like that. Makes me wonder if that’s real Brazilian rosewood KIDDING!!,

Seriously, though, I love it. That one’s going to hold its value! Congrats, man!

It’ll play even better with some avocado on it.

 

[DISTORT6]

Damn fine looking guitar!
Congrats!

..... So, are you going to play this one enough that the vintage nitro shows all the wear and relicing? Or are you going to try and keep it looking mint?

I'm gonna hang it on the wall, in the basement. We'll see how things develop. Not going to put it in the case and hide it under the bed, that's for sure!

You know it!

Nicely done, sir!

Congrats - maybe a good investment as well

It's sure a quandary with guitars like this. Specially if you've got plenty of other options to play. It's why it's kind of nice not to have as many guitars sometimes - forces you to actually put the hours in and get some authentic wear

 

[Warmart]

Man, that's the way to be motivated to be able to grab one of these! She's a beauty - huge congrats, may you love it long time!

 

[andy474x]

Sweet! Glad to see you get one of those.

Sounds great in the video, definitely has a twang to it (in a good way) that made the riffs stand out a little more, just like they mentioned.

 

[WEDGE]

Congrats but I am surprised they sent it so quick, thought you had to lay it away for like five months?

 

[dmatthews]

That is KILLER.... in a sort of Rocky Mountain Way...

Totally agree!

Honestly, if I hadn't found this one @IshGuitars I probably wouldn't have grabbed one. This purchase was more about supporting a rad dealer that was getting unwarranted abuse by a complete tool.

 

[Davey]

Thats a beauty. I so want one, but just spent some dough on some other items needed coming soon.

Congrats!

I see what you did there!
