Goddamn it. I sold a bass to buy a bass and maybe some recording gear...I do NOT need this right now.
That is GORGEOUS. I think calling it gold (rather ironically) cheapens the color.
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.

Thanks again guys.

There's one tidbit about my experience with Wildwood that I forgot to mention. They are offering free ground shipping but I wanted it overnight. They deducted the normal cost of ground shipping from the guitar's price and then added overnight shipping on to that. I was pretty impressed. Good luck getting MF or similar to do that when they have something with 'free shipping'.

Good call on the avatar mezcalhead. It is time to switch it up. :)

Here's another plug for Wildwood...

They're GIVING me the certificate AND the LE neckplate for mine, for the cost of postage. And this is for a used guitar they sold to someone else last February! Outstanding service.

Bruce Beard answered my email the same business day he received it.

They seem like a great outlet!

Thanks!  :D

How is the neck compared to the AVRI by the way?
Is it fatter, slimmer or the same C shape?

Gotta get one.  Stuck on weather I should get the Jaguar or the Jazzmaster.

The TS has fuller shoulders so the shape isn't quite the same but it's still a C. It's also thicker but not by much at all. I like it alot.
