Incoming Spector NBD - Euro 4 RST EX-LTD NAM

[Sean]

Due to arrive tomorrow and continuing a trend for Japan Exclusives (my third), here it is.

 

I've had an eye on it for months. 

 

It's one of 5 made in that spec. EX = Exotic, LTD = Limited, NAM (Spector Colour Code) = Natural Maple. Nothing to do with NAMM but one of the 5 of these was at NAMM last year to show dealers what is possible with special orders.

 

It's a 3-piece roasted maple neck with a 4A North American flame maple top, walnut sandwich layer, empresswood wing-backs and the headstock matches the top but seems to be gloss vs the matt finish of the body. The wood build is as per the standard RST but in a limited edition finish. It has EMG P (reverse) + J pickups with ivory coloured covers and the DG Legacy Tone Capsule where the standard RSTs have Aguilar humbuckers and an Aguilar preamp. 

 

There's an LHZ-04 preamp on standby ready but after playing Gary's CST the other day, I think I'm going to leave the DG in there for a while.

Congratulations! Curious about your thoughts on it after the arrival and initial play.

I was looking at the 5 string version of it, I think I have posted pics in the other thread but the additional cost of importing put me off in the end. In general I really like these new special editions, great to see the brand bringing out such gems
