New PGM300

A '94 model with zero fretwear!!!! It did need some cleaning up, which i've mostly taken care of already. I did a setup on it, and tomorrow i will give it a test drive, and see how i like the tones.

peace

More pics!

I always loved the PGMs with (a decent) tremolo...

My initial impressions of this guitar are quite good. It has the best action of any guitar i've owned (other than the Vigiers which are in a class by themself).
I was apprehensive about having no tone knob (still unsure how i feel), but i think i can live with it. I'm not the world's biggest DiMarzio fan, but whatever models these are, are pretty cool. I was initially thinking i would swap them out, but i may actually end up keeping them.
The LoPro Edge trem is my favorite, and works flawlessly. The guitar is a little on the heavy side (i'm getting old), and though the pic doesn't show it, the paint has faded to a sort of yellow-white, which i don't dig, but it's okay because it's time i stopped playing guitars based on how they look

This is my new number one.

jkahrs, if i ever decide to get rid of it, i'll keep you in mind...

peace

Heavy? These things are really light though.

Some basswood is quite heavy. My RG 20th is a fairly heavy chunk. My original 550 weighed approximately 2 feathers.

Anyway, nice PGM!

I like to get one of those...but I understand the neck is 19MM instead of 17 at the first fret, is that true? I know he has HUGE hands, so maybe a wizard 1 is too small for him.

Supposedly the neck is a tad thicker than the standard wizard, which is fine by me, as this neck feels "just right" to my hand...
