Didn't I sell you a Strat? Is that what you mean?

DC Specials look so great!

Probly would'nt be worthy of a strat of yours.... :lol: Nah Just got a new old one from the good ol U S of A. That is suppressing the long time GAS afliction of a DC spesh in worn cherry with p90s. That is the next on my list. That strat just re-arranged the list a bit.

Double cut LP Specials are the bomb. You will NOT regret it. I'm a P90 fanboy but there is something magical about a pair of P90s and a wraptail bridge on an old 1 piece honduran mahogany body.... mmmmmm!

I'm not. Don't think the neck's straight anymore.
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.

Ah sorry dude...I recognised your email address for some reason :?

I've seen some real good value DC Specials on the bay recently...not vintage but recent versions. Every now and then someone lists a Custom Shop RI one thinking it's a standard model....those are the ones to watch for. Look for the angled bridge and finish colour (more orange in the cherry).

Amazing collection. Don't know if it's just the photos, but the neck on the 56 Special looks HUGE :)
