  1. 2004 Signature STR-1 HB C (Lawsuit LP Custom) - Made in Japan

     

    Commissioned by Tanglewood and handcrafted in Japan by Fujigen-Gakki.

     

    Around 1000 were made before Gibson issued their cease and desist order and they sold for £900 without a case, but I will include one for the new owner.

     

    They're rare in general, but the Les Paul Customs are harder to find and this one is in very good condition; a Roland GK pickup was added at some point (two screws) and the guitar is missing it's pickguard and bracket.


    Specifications:


    Body: Two-Piece Selected African Mahogany

    Top: Two-Piece Selected Eastern Maple
    Finish: Ebony Polyurethane w/ 5-ply binding
    Neck: One-Piece Selected African Mahogany (Long Tenon '59 Profile)
    Nut: 43mm Bone
    Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood w/ 12 Inch Radius & Mother of Pearl Inlays
    Frets: 22 Dunlop 6100
    Scale: 24.75 Inches
    Pickups: x2 Alnico II Gotoh HB PAF Classics w/ Shielding
    Hardware: Grover 'Kidney Bean' Tuners w/ Gotoh Bridge & Tailpiece
    Weight: 8.8lbs

  2. It's called 'Vintage Edition' so they went and used a mahogany substitute, which BC Rich, Vintage and Yamaha used on budget guitars in the 80s/90s, and then stained a nasty looking timber for a fingerboard.

     

    I've owned the '08 series and tried these in my local and the necks are less gloopy, but the old alder and rosewood sonic blue / fiesta red are the best of the bunch. I'd hold onto my money for a Sire or an old G&L Tribute.

     

    Everyone buys a Squier and gives it a stunning review, then you find out about them warts and all several years later when they've been sold on.

     

    *Pulls pants up* Now then, where to squat for my next...

  3. CIaran purchased my Ritter double e bass gigbag - Absolute pleasure.

     

    Quick and easy payment with polite communication throughout - Would hope to deal with WHUFC Bass again in future!

     

    Many thanks again.
