This is a parts guitar, all american made. I bought from a man named Greg Leon (who replaced Randy Rhoads in Quiet Riot after he left to play for Ozzy) and I absolutely love it!!!!! But she needs a name and I'm open to suggestions. and do please keep in mind that she IS A SHE! Men aren't supposed to have curves like that :lol:

Er... why have the pickups been put in the wrong way round - any specific reason? Normally the polepiece stagger is the other way round.

Plus I'd suggest sorting out the set-up - those saddle screws look positively uncomfortable, sticking out that far. Not conducive to palm muting, I reckon!

Looks a nice guitar, though :-)

Good eye, stiggie.

Either it was obvious during the build that they were installed upside down or they are lefties. Not a serious problem to fix and if it sounds good now just wait till it's done right.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Well I'm having the whole guitar looked at by a great local luthier here in Oregon concerning some crack :cry: that seem to have formed due to the guitar being put in a too-small case. I'll also mention the pickups and setup

I was gonna say the same thing...those look like they would be extremely uncomfortable.Just from the looks of the pic, that thing needs to be gone through and re-set-up.Other than that, it is a beautiful guitar.I love the body color with mint pickguard...nice!!

I'm going to ask for the whole setup package and whatever can be done for the cracks. While we're on the subject, has anyone had an issue similar (the cracks run along the finish out of the neck joint a little ways vertically down the back of the guitar about where the separate pieces of wood would have joined during the clamping of the body) and, if so, how did you deal with it?

Call her Angel, and when you're feelin' really sweet on her her, call her Angel Cakes! If she acts out, ...You Fallen Angel. If she converts, Grace. yeah, Grace. ...she has already taken the round-trip, and then some, and she seems to be destined for grace!

How much does that guitar weigh?

How about Bianca? That's Italian for white and was also the name of one of the female characters in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew and it was also the name of Mick Jagger's first wife -pretty name anyway.
