Very cool! Love the offset Tele design. Sort of Danelectro vibe with the painted sides. Lots of stuff I like on this guitar!

That is so much better than a white, Asian PRS!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: NGD: Fresh Prince of Bel Air
I like that a lot. I want it despite the fact that the pickup configuration is just not something that would work for me

Re: NGD: Fresh Prince of Bel Air
intrigued by the mastery bridge, general consensus seems to be that its a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist? Bloody expensive thing too...

Re: NGD: Fresh Prince of Bel Air
No. General consensus is that they're bloody great. They solve the very real problems with standard JM bridges of strings slipping from the saddles and buzz due to not enough downforce/break angle. Lots of dudes using Buzz Stops will remove them once they get a Mastery Bridge. Oh, and the saddles rock instead of the whole bridge, which definitely helps tuning stability.Bg wrote:intrigued by the mastery bridge, general consensus seems to be that its a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist?
Yes, therein lies the problem. A Mustang bridge is also a good solution to the same problems, but waaaaaaay cheaper. Correct shimming can also help with these problems.Bg wrote: Bloody expensive thing too...
I really love mine... but then it was free with my guitar.

Re: NGD: Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Yes, I was talking specifically for tele. the mustang stuff is notoriously shite and the mastery is the solution. But with a tele it tends to be not shite and the addition of an expensive bridge doesn't alleviate the problem much more than the addition of an inexpensive bridge...bender wrote:No. General consensus is that they're bloody great.
