I'd much rather have the PRS NF3 that's also listed..except that I've already got one. It's used daily. My american deluxe fender just hangs on the wall collecting dust.

Not a bad price for a 61, even considering the refurbishing. Hardtail strats are killer and I bet the Brazilian rosewood fretboard sounds amazing.

I played my friend's 1957 Gibson J45 today. It's a really solid sounding guitar, not midrangy or boomy but not trebly and chimy either. A really great balance. I think this is in large part due to the weird wooden saddle.

Older is not always better.
I'm a 61 model

1. A nice 7-string
2. A Bass VI
3. An actual bass (like 5-string something)

I suck at bass, that's why Bass VI might be a good choice - more guitar-like string spacing etc. Then again, when I look at this freaking beauty, I completely lose my mind:

Decision has been made. I got the Schecter 7-string!

It plays like a beast!

Decisions...do I get this in the six or seven?
I ordered the six....but I could be swayed...

Those are freakin awesome chunks of wood. I can barely play 6 strings, but keep wondering when I will try a 7 myself. I've got plenty of 6 strings ..

A fanned fret 7-string might be interesting.

But those are some funky pickup angles.

I'm planning on getting a car in the next two months. One day I'm going to drive west and explore elderly for myself.

That guitars a real beaut, been thinking about getting one myself.

I got this in the summer but wanted to wait until I made all the necessary upgrades.

I upgraded the Tuners to Vanson Locking tuners, they're very stable but I did notice they add a slight bit of neck dive, only when sitting but it's not too bad.

I fitted it with a Seymour Duncan pegasus sentient set of pups which made a massive difference. The Sentient cleans up real nice & the Pegasus has a lot of clarity & tightness but it's not an extremely hot pickup, it's a pretty diverse pickup but a little on the darkside, so I need to boost the treble & presence on my 5150 III a bit.

This is my 1st 7 string & PRS for that matter, it's just so nice & easy to play even for my 1st 7 string, it's just comfy. I thought I'd be thrown a bit by the glossy neck but I got used to it in no time at all.
