In part 1 of 4, I promised to populate the last four 'placeholders' in my harem thread. Though I didn't get any direct sunlight for photographs today, I did manage to grab a few decent images. I will certainly need some sunshine for installment 3 (coming Thursday).
2006 Tremonti Tribal #96/100
Unique and one-off production guitars really get my attention. PRS kind of lost me with all the limited edition runs but this model, like the 1980 West Street LTD, the Walnut LTD, and the Thinline SC-J, just stood out from the rest.
This is a huge guitar. It's easily as thick as a Les Paul. Thicker? I'll measure some time. The neck is positively gargantuan. I wanna say that this is a Santana neck carve but it could be my mind playing tricks on me because this bad-mamma-jamma H-E-A-V-Y. That is no joke, people. It must weigh, and I'm guessing (because I only have a bathroom scale) it weighs somewhere around 500 pounds. I mean, come on... I am all about heavy guitars when you want to conjure the beast but this guitar is the next best thing to an actual battle axe if you're in a fight for your life with zombies. But don't take that as a complaint. When this guitar is hanging around my neck, that heft feels right as rain.
Another thing that I didn't realize about the Tremonti Tribal is the pearl in the finish. I had always assumed, in err, that they were just black guitars with a white graphic. Not so. There is a distinct white pearl in the finish that looks very much like the white pearl finish that PRS used way back in the day. It really pops when the light hits it just so.
Finally, the volume knobs are swapped. Is that stock for this model? To be clear, the volume knob for the neck pup is forward and the volume knob for the bridge pup is back. I have to say, it's ideal. I don't accidentally hit the volume knob and turn it down when I'm being a goof-ball , leaning way back, pretending I'm a rock-star. Judge me all you want. The pups are super hot on this guitar. I loaded it with 11's and dropped it 1/2 step. Wanking is mandatory.
