Hey,

I might be getting a hold of one of these, but it's over 10 tears old and there are a couple of things I don't know:
1. Does anyone know the neck profile - compared so say a JEM 7VWH or 91 FP, or the Wizards?
2. It apparently has a DiMarzio SPF and I have no idea what that is!

I tried the search function but for some reason my browser wouldn't let me type so apologise if this may preciously have been covered...

Nick

the neck is somewhat similar to ultra shape : 19.5mm at the 1st fret, 21.5mm at the 12th, 430mm radius.

I have no idea also what is dimarzio SFP.... could it be steve's special..?

Then it's really good!

Thanks - I tiny bit thicker than a JEM then.

What would the profile be like? I'm assuming on a guitar like this it'd just be a nice, soft C.

Result: DiMarzio SFP, (not SPF as the guy said) is 'Steve's Favourite Pickup' - a Steve's Special. Thanks :-)

Just found the page, lol, thanks. Might as well lock this up.

Juste a word to tell you how marvelous is the JCM prodile on these guitars.
Thick necks and fat Tone, a real pleasure

You own a 1708? I'd love to know more, I'm really liking the look of the one I've found. Just waiting to be 100% before I pull the trigger on it.

It's the one on ebay ?

Nice one !

I've got a 1880 from 1999, moreless the same guitar with a Tone Zone instead of the Steve Special, and flame maple neck binding. A great guitar

Yes the one from ProMusicTools. Looks sweet, I love the colour.

Me too !

I think the price is fair too.
It would look better with a matching headstock, but the black hardware matches the headstock, so it's not that important
