Regarding 'Geddy Lee' ..
will start with the 'bad' 1st
- headstock split whilst replacing tuners but have had it glued by pro luthier who ensures me this will not occur again (atleast not in the same place) .. I trust him coz he'd used the same industrial strength glue to repair my bro's les paul snapped headstock (which was much worse) & it stays in tune just fine, unfortunately whilst he had GL clamped he knocked it over & chipped it a little, don't feel it whilst playing tho.
- block inlays could have been finished better & you can feel them a bit if you run your finger along fretboard, think this is common to GL model
'good' points tho matter of taste ...
- black hardware (wilkinson tuners, badass II, control plate powder coated, metal knobs)
- texalium scratchplate
- sanded / stained & waxed body, removed veneer top layer to show 3 piece alder body but left most of veneer on back (does appear a bit purple on pic but it's not .. black stain)
- all new pots v/v/t
Would ideally like anyone interested to come & check it out rather than receiving something that might not resemble the pics coz it's actually darker than on photos. Will be going down to Cardiff again in Feb (week 3) & probably over to P'boro N Essex. Am only considering parting coz I've 2 other jazzes, a Warmoth with same neck thickness as GL & a custom jazz built by same luthier which puts em all to shame imho !
