So...I ran over to Guitar Center today to pick up a few sets of strings, and lo and behold they finally had some Pawn Shop series guitars in stock. I played the Mustang Special and the '51. My opinions...The '51 was cool, and the finish was awesome, but man that thing was heavy, and I really wasn't a big fan of the neck pup at all. I think it's a good guitar but not for me.
The Mustang Special on the other hand was awesome. I really like the short scale, but I did feel a little clumsy playing it at first. I wanted to leave the store with it, but decided against it...for now.

On a side note, I am always impressed when I play any guitar through a Super Champ XD. That little amp is nice, and a great value IMO.

I am really interested in those mixed up looking things. My little neighborhood guitar store wont order any, and I have a 35 mile drive to get to guitar center. what can you say about them. and do you like them. + or -
Danny,

Thanks for posting Tim. The short scale has its advantages, I haven't owned one one but the thought is always there. I was waiting for a players viewpoint. Extra very

The 51 is pretty cool assuming it plays as good as the Squier 51 from a few years back.

No prob SBLS. If you get a chance to try one out you should, it's a very nice axe.



The '51 played awesome, I just wasn't a huge fan of the pickups. And that bastard was HEAVY!

Still no sign of any Pawn Shops here at the local GC and the sales people just look blank when I ask if they're ever going to get some in. As a smaller GC, we tend to get stuff after all the other GCs all over the country. GC has implemented a new search-and-find program linking all their stores, but you would then be ordering sight unseen...

I like the feel of the '72 quite a bit and the Surf Green color is very cool. The '72 has a U shape neck, the '51 a C shape.

After reading this I went to GC to play them. The only one they had was the 72 which wasn,t bad.

I tried the 51 and loved it...but the 69 Thinline Tele is the next one coming to my humble collection
ABS

I've been interested in hearing from anyone that has played the Jim Adkins JA-90 Thinline Tele. Have you played it?

I wanted to try a '72 but all they had locally were the mustang and the '51. I'm still having to force myself to not go back and buy that Mustang.
