Hi there. Yeah, just bought this lovely guitar and i thought i´d show it to you guys.
It´s a great guitar, i already have it getting a setup as we speak, and also had my teacher change the pickups. "Guitar teacher that is"

Here they are, enjoy!

Not a bad looking guitar, I love the S shape.

I always wanted to make a thread about this, looks like you might have an answer I have been looking for. What's F-spaced pickups? How is a F-Spaced Air norton different than a regular Air Norton. Sorry I don't want to hi jack your thread. Nice guitar!

From what i heard/know F spaced means that the polepieces (the metal circle things) are slightly further apart on guitars with a temolo bridge compared to a hardtail. But there is absolutely no difference in the sound whatsoever.

Well, it was the only one they had at the shop... And doesn´t make much difference anyways. F spaced are for tremolo guitars. It has a tremelo, so i thought an f spaced neck wouldn´t matter. Its really a tiny difference, not even noticeable on sound.

nice axe. how do you like it now after having it and putting a few miles on it, thoughts?
i like the skin-diseased looking burl poplar one myself and have been considering it lately. thanks and congrats!

I don't like it because it looks like a piece of furniture... and it just ain't rock n rooooll! J/K. If he likes it, COOL! I can appreciate subtle colours too, sick-boy, I just don't like boring ones, like grey.

Kevin, I have seen plenty of coffee tables with that much grain, but then I have always been into woodworking, furniture building, etc.
