Sounds like you didn't tell him about the cracked neck.

Sounds like an over-insured claim payoff to me!

Unlike a Fender Strat, you're gonna find this G&L is low maintenance. The bridge is solid and the saddles are a snap to set any way you like. The dual-fulcrum, 3-spring trem system works as smoothly as melted butter and backed up by the graphtech nut & string tree, doesn't stick out of tune like my 6-point Trem on my '81 STRAT. There's so many ways you can/have to mess around with the number of springs and whether to sling 'em straight or cross-ways, all depending on what gauge strings you're using...:thwap:

As for your preference for humbuckers? The hum-cancelling reverse-wound Z-coils elminate a Strat's annoying tendency to attract 60-cycle hum or RF interference. No need to shield the cavity. And if you like to set individual string polepiece height, you've got that. And the Expanded mode's particular option for pushing all 3 pups simultaneously can deliver serious humbucker 'meat'...fiddle around with the Bass & Treble Cuts.

• dual-fulcrum
• 3-spring trem
• graphtech nut
• string tree
• sling 'em straight
• cross-ways
• reverse-wound Z-coils
• Expanded mode

Fulcrums, springs, trees, z-coils!!! You were discussing, "low maintenance"?
I'm more of a low-tech, grab it, plug it, hit it, kind of player.

:rotflmao:
Forget all that stuff...that's just the 'good stuff' it has that you don't have to hassle with (everything movable locks into position with allen wrenched set screws...even the trem bar...which pulls out, no PIA unscrewing, no silly little spring to fall out of the socket to hold it up) so all you really have to do is

... grab it, plug it, hit it ...

No problem with an MSRP of a tad over $3K oke:

Rocket,

After having an abundance of Gibson products you're probably not equiped to set-up the G&L to your liking.

I have an extra Fender/G&L set-up starter kit I am going to send you and it should arrive before you get the guitar.

You are going to have to spring for the larger set and the optional welding equipment.

What makes you think I could EVER get it set-up to my liking?

Thanks, but with this latest acquisition I no longer have any room for tools!

Methinks that 'ol Strummy is altruistically hinting that he'd like me to send it to him to set it up for you...

With the understanding that these set-ups can take years.

Oh, yes...abso-lutley. This guitar was built in July '02, and I finally got it setup perfectly when I acquired it in February. 7 months wasn't enough time to have a chance to screw it up.

I think avaricious is the more appropriate adjective.

Hey, I offer to do a free set-up and you insinuate that I am greedy??? This world is a thankless place.
