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!!!
