    IIUC that probably means a prototype from the time SGC was considering moving production to Korea. I had a similarly-marked SB301 (trussrod out of adjustment, or I'd still have it). I could very well be wrong.

    I don't know about blue specifically, but I'm certain that the range of colours available in the USA was greater than in the UK and presumably the rest of Europe - it seems only to be black ones and orange ones here, but I've certainly seen US adverts for green examples. I'd really like this, but I'm unemployed as of next week, so... GLWYS!

    I think it still does make a difference, for hardware instruments only (doesn't apply to synths). The resonant frequencies of the hardware will be different depending on the individual instrument - mostly on how it's tuned. So you'd expect the subtle effects, which most people can't consciously hear, to vary depending on key.

    ... Are they good for metal?

    Oooh. If that was a fretless, I'd be in trouble

    Certain ex-members of Stump may be interested by this person

    Twelve pictures, for an item priced at £4.78 BIN. Twelve.

    Nice. That's an elegant headstock design, IMO, not that easy to do. Good luck with your sale

    Both ends of that are ugly, but in different ways.
  10. alyctes
    Well, that's prettier than most Fenders...
  11. alyctes
    Yes.

    I was hoping it was an actual viola, TBH.

    I get (got!) Q as a freebie from my bank account (all the other options being less interesting ... !). I won't miss it, personally.

    Possibly related to the body thickness before and after? Would that not alter one of the resonant frequencies of the body?

    Went for £490.

    Nice! I particularly like the way the tort scratchplate makes it seem to be sunburst without actually being GLWYS!

    That's sort of a telebass Yamaha BB, only more so...

    IMO the major use of a 5 is to make playing easier (two octaves almost under the hand). So I disagree; because making it easier to play means that the players can make music more easily.

    Wow...

    Firstborn child, probably.

    Got to be "scratchplate". "Pickguard" is both harder to say and harder to type, and therefore is officially Silly.

    The Sinsonido is a nice bit of kit, IMO. Good to travel with, makes a noise all its own. Sadly they never made a five-string.

    I'm tempted to nab it and get it defretted. But since I'm probably going to be laid off next week, that doesn't seem wise, somehow Good luck with your sale!

    I was thinking of the Cherrystone. I did find the Sandalwood up on eBay, but it obviously wasn't the same. Possibly it's just really light? Some people might think that was enough, perhaps?
  25. alyctes
    Couldn't find one on eBay. I'll keep my eyes open. Possible they're not made any more though.
