Blame my wife . I was adjusting the headlights on the car using a guitar box to block one light while adjusting the other. My wife walked by and asked what I was doing I told her not to worry I didn’t buy another guitar I’m just using the box to cover the light. She said “I don’t care if you buy another one”. What could I do ? I needed to scratch that itch.
I picked this up on the clearance page at GuitarFetish. It’s a 3 piece ash body. I like the necks on their T types and the pickups are alright. It was discounted $10 for a scuff on the neck near the heel but they are also 25% off for the Presidents Day sale. So it was delivered to my door for under $200.

Here’s a pic of the “damage “ so what I say 338871F7-D4F2-4F33-84A9-43097E750FF6.jpeg
I only tuned it to play. No sharp frets or anything but it will get a proper set up and a set of D’Addario 10’s soon
I would also like to darken the fretboard if anyone can suggest a good method.

I’ve never done it, but maybe this stuff? There’s a video at the bottom that shows a neck before and after. It looks easy enough.

Sorry guys but I just can’t get along with a white guard. I also darkened the fretboard a bit with some Old English. Now to find some black screws for the pickup.
I’ve been playing this one a lot because the neck is great. A little chunkier than my Mexican Strat but not a baseball bat either.

Funny story.

The guitar looks pretty good, also funny how the logo from far away looks like a Fender logo.
