Evening all,
Just showing off my latest addition. I got this from Richtone music today and still shows on their site if you want to know the price, which was very good IMO.
I have ideally been wanting one of the newer non-piezo HBII with phase III tuners and 58/15s but those seem to be very rare, probably find some now I have this.
I spotted this on my daily browse of Richtone and finally decided to buy it. I figured why not have a first year (98) which according to a quick Google search is nearly classed as "vintage" when it hits 30 years old in 2028.
The condition is fantastic for a 27 year old guitar, a tiny amount of fretwear and only minor scratches that should polish out with some T-cut, no dents or breaks at all to the finish. Just a really nice guitar.
I will be giving it a bit of a facelift on the weekend with some amber lampshades and pickup rings because I have some spare and prefer them. I will also give it some new strings 9-46, polish the frets, check the setup etc.
I did briefly have a 594 HBII last year but just prefer a one piece wraparound that my McCarty and Mira have so returned it. Aesthetically the wraparound on a PRS double cut shape just looks correct to me, just my preference.
The photo's are from Richtone and are far superior than I could take with my phone.
Something I did notice is that the G & B tuners are set slightly further in from the edge compared to the bass side. The string angle looks fine.
