NGD x2!!

Post by Molly »

Haven't done a NGD for some time. I usually just slip it in to 'Just Sayin'. However, today's a bit special as it's a double delivery of nice things.

So, here we have on the left a Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Wildwood 10 '55 Telecaster in Journeyman relic finish, and on the right a 2013 PRS DGT in antique sunburst.

What do you think?

Don't even have to un-box them to see the mojo, eh?!

I seem to have accumulated a lot of the same gear as that guy actually. Same Two Rock, very similar Strat.

Yes. And there's a sheet of sandpaper if you want to age it further. :thumbup:

Initial review:

DGT - Classy as fuck.
Tele - Cool as fuck.

Both surprisingly light but especially the Tele. About 6.5lbs. Neck's a BIG C of quarter-sawn, resonating goodness. Beer in the fridge ready for the usual evening of restringing and action raising.

Going back to the Veritas thread. Maybe this is like crack with the entry level stuff being gateway guitars. Doubt I could get this buzz off a Mexi.

They are expensive tools Sñr Code. But to be fair you do get a free guitar with them. It's a bit beat up but not bad for a freebie ;)

Comfortably less than $6k here. You'd lose more than that running for the bus.

INCOMING!!!
