The '59 Tribute pickups are great, such a pity they were only available this model year. They have a honk and a bite to them that 57 Classics just don't have.

Here's a quick pic of mine.

Man that’s lovely! Yep think they nailed the Traditional with this one, and the ‘59 Tribute pickups are really good; most people seem to consider them to be better than the the ‘57’s. Lucky for me I really like the neck profile, it certainly has some girth, ahem.

Must be hard work disliking so many guitars... and not liking anything else that's not blue. I don't get why someone would come into an 'NGD' thread and say something negative when someone is obviously stoked with their new purchase :|

Anyhow each to their own, but this is quickly turning turning into my favourite guitar I've ever had the good fortune to own.

Someone’s gotta be the hipster who thinks everything’s too mainstream, and all that other shit.

Just like I'm expecting Bendy and Strummers to come and dump on my new PRS. I don't take it seriously.

This is true, I have owned a number of Gibsons, Gretsches, a G&L and a Godin. However, I could turn that around and say they are the evidence on which I formed my "don't like anything beginning with a G" opinion. :lol: :twisted:

With only one girl available, he’s not too fussed on the gender of which smurf to go for. As long as it’s blue!

He did write:

“It sounds incredible too, by the way. I feel a new avatar might be due...”

In his NGD thread. Who would have guessed the double meaning!?
