Well I managed to get some pictures taken today, I have to admit I am not a great photographer but I think they are not bad. I know I am preaching to the converted here but what the hell!


Image

The pick ups are Custom Shop '69s in the neck and middle and a Texas Special Bridge. Check out the initials.

Image

The builders 'stamp'

Image

I was a little weary of buying just a closet classic and not a relic, but I think each builder adds their own character to every piece so you can possibly see the dings etc. It is hard to capture, they are more dents than actual damage and severe scuffs like a relic.

Image

The big headstock

Image

The colour is actually very nice in person, changing from forest green to almost turquoise depending on the light.

Image

Overall I am very very impressed by it, the standard of fretwork has to be seen and felt to be appreciated. The neck is the nicest I have felt on any guitar. Sadly I have yet to properly plug it in as I am visiting my Mother and have no amp, but later today I will get to give it a blast

That is sexy, I love the color. Did the CS 20th Annivesrary models also come with maple fretboards or only rosewood?

Regardless, I need to add one of these to my collection ASAP!!!
