Marnold, that Celtic looks fantastic. I really love that color! I bet it plays like a dream too.
I'll tell you this much, it kicks the butt of any other guitar I've ever played. After playing my Floyd so much lately, I picked up the Celtic today. The pickup has tons more cajones than the Floyd's. It's a Fender Atomic II, FWIW. It's got a set neck that is almost Ibanez thin with a 15 3/4" radius fretboard. It's as light as a feather but with the set neck and fixed bridge, it sustains forever. With only the bridge 'bucker it's kind of limited tonally, although I put in a coil cut push/pull pot. If I could have gotten the HH version it would be perfect. I've toyed with the idea of having a neck 'bucker installed, but I'm really afraid I'd end up wrecking it.

The kicker is that while the original list was $899 and MF was selling them for $629 like the Showmasters on their site now, I got it when they were blowing them out for $249. My only gripe with it is that the "smoked chrome" bridge looks bad now and I can't seem to clean it up. Nevertheless, it functions just fine.

Re: the Lynch doll, yeah, I've seen those. I thought they were pretty corny. I wouldn't mind the J. Frog skull guitar though :)

Just slowly over time.

I agree that it's pretty bizarre when a guy has to get on the roof of his house to take guitar pictures.

And I was thinking that you had to lease a helicopter to get the shot.
:poke

How many more have been added to your harem since this shot?
