PICKED UP A 2006 SATIN SC LOCALLY YESTERDAY

[brentrocks]

What's up everybody!!!

It's been a long time since I've been here!

So I bought this 06 satin singlecut yesterday, locally...saw it on Facebook Marketplace. It needed A LOT of TLC!!! Pots were broke, pickups were junk, frets were corroded. I had to completely re wire it and put new pickups in it. I put a set of 83 Gibson Shaw PAFs in it. After i got done reassembling it and got it cleaned up and set up, it plays like a dream!!! And tone....HOLY F!!!! AND...a 1-piece top!!!

When I was cleaning the fretboard, I was admiring the darkness and overall look. It looks Brazilian to me, but then I thought, "why would a regular production satin SC have a Braz board?" A friend of mine, who is a member here, told me that this would be the place to get answers.

Anyway, enjoy the pics, I will look forward to everyone's comments!!!

Congrats, one soussy looking guitar. I'd suggest you check out the modcats on that guitar, the letters in the PU cavety can tell you all the specs of your newly acquired gem (is it emerald green?).

Bwt, I would be surprised if it were brasilian, given the pores. I'd expect it to have less of them.

I had a Singlecut Satin Artist, same year as yours that had a Brazilian board. But the Artists from then typically had gold hardware, and a Brazilian veneer on the headstock and the logo was paua shell.

The MODCAT says it's a non-10 top, but that figuring and the fact that it's one piece does suggest it could be an Artist top, but then it would show that in the MODCAT.

That's a really nice SC...
