Mine, one of the triplets masterbuilt by TK, has no signature, be it on the top or the back of the headstock

Thanks for that. I checked your website and the guitar in question does not have it's headstock pictured. Thomann sent me a photo of their current guitar in stock. On the back of the headstock, it is signed by Paul Waller and has the same signature and "Blackie" designation
that is used on the face of the headstocks of the Artist series. I'm waiting to hear from him further on what he learns from the Custom Shop.

Hope this finds you well mon ami. :wink:

I've just found this Masterbuilt Pewter EC Custom as a secondhand item at Anderton's. Crafted by Paul himself, of course! :D

I also advised Thomann's that I am aware of Fender having used a signature design on the back of the Custom Shop Signature Series guitar different from that the classic one pictured above. I personally would request the guitar be unsigned if Masterbuilt.

You make a good point. Not tried the Wampler myself, but from the Youtube demos it sounds bloody dreadful. I'll stick to my real Soldano.

Hmmm, according to my information the main guitar Buddy is using onstage these days is his old blonde signature strat built somewhere in the early nineties by J.W. Black.

Then again, he probably has a couple of spares backstage.

There's hot little irridescent blue number that Waller recentlyh built for him. That may be back stage. Check this years archives of Vintage Guitar magazine for a great article on Guy, including the guitar.

This guitar was given a couple of subtle modifications: a new parchment pickguard, three Vintage Noiseless pickups and a regular passive circuit in place of the TBX/MDX pots.

Apparently Buddy wanted to try something different and told Paul to make those changes.

FYI, here's a photo of him playing Eric's Daphne Blue Strat:

The shot was taken in June of 2009, I guess....

Nice...I recall that location of yours. Takes a bit of reorientation to remember that the Atlantic coast in your neck of the woods is the West coast. I expect that I flew right over your head returning to Florida from Paris in May.:lol:

Most probably as I am West of Nantes, which is the air corridor to the States...
