DUH!!!! NGD x 2!!!!!!!!!!
Well, not really 2 new guitars. One is my baby that I sold to CME in my huge purge a couple of weeks ago. 2008 Cu22 in Purple Hazel (refin from Royal Blue by the PTC), with a 57/08 neck and 59/09 bridge, a 3 way, and a couple of mini toggles. Neck was refinished in black satin, ala the SE Holcomb. Not sure what it is about this guitar. When it was Royal Blue I thought about selling/trading it several times, until I played it. I'm not a blue hater, but it was SO dark that it hid all of the mineral streaks in the top. Much better in Purple Hazel. It's got a Wide Thin neck that just feels smaller than others I have played. Kind of reminds me of the neck on my mid 80s BC Rich Eagle. A neck I really liked. And, the pick up combo just roars. I parted with some really nice guitars, and some collectible pieces, but this is the one that made me pout. I'm glad they let me buy it back for what they gave me for it. I am happy she's back home.
Since I got rid of more than I originally planned on, I ended up over my targeted goal from a financial standpoint. I felt that I needed to have a flagship guitar. The search was on for a 90s, or early 2000s Cu24. I found 4 that I liked, and fit in the budget I had for myself. I bounced them off of Sergio for some advice on them, and the prices. Of course, he added valuable advice. Much appreciated. Thanks, bro!
A 1995 10 Top Cu24 in Vintage Yellow. A Knaggs build for a Guitar Player Giveaway contest. It's in really good shape. Some buckle rash on the back. A couple of small dents on the top, but no finish dings or chips, etc. At some point, it was re-fretted by Steve Morrill Guitar Repair in Boston. Excellent job on the frets, and they're in great shape. Very happy with this one.
