Does it seem odd to anyone else to have magnets holding on the rear panel? I'd assume they're strong rare-earth types like HT uses on their cab covers... couldn't that interfere with the pups?

Can't see the cherry in the hippy sandwich from the pics... but it's an interesting looking guitaxe.

Yeah I guess I should have specified that I wasn't necessarily looking to get that one in particular, but am considering my options. There are a couple for sale at a shop here in Richmond and they have one that is decked-out; zebra pups, sweet hippy sandwich, and unlike any on the website, the stripe runs up the front of the headstock.

I bought one from Troy on ebay last night, a blonde Skyline. I don't even know which of my many methodical searches I was doing; when I stumbled across this guitar, I completely forgot about everything else I was thinking. I'd never even heard of Troy's guitars before. I was just about to pull the trigger on a set-neck Tele from Jamerson Guitars, but I hadn't decided on what tuners to have them rout the headstock for, so I was putting it off until I did. The Post has almost everything I want: 24.75" scale, 1-11/16" nut, 12" fretboard radius, two humbuckers, four knobs, and a hardtail Strat-type bridge. The fretboard's rosewood; I'd really been planning on my next guitar having an ebony 'board, but that's OK. Bonuses are 24 frets and neck-through body! From the pics, Troy's work appears to be breathtaking - what beautiful carving. This one has EMGs, so I'm going to rip 'em out and put in Super 2's, with push-pull tone pots for coil-splitting. I live in Norfolk - Troy is going to drive down here from C-ville and hand-deliver the guitar the day after tomorrow! I've been playing nearly 40 years, and I don't remember the last time I was this excited about a new guitar. (I buy LOTS of guitars, and they ALL excite me, but this one...whew!) If anyone is reading this, I'll post (get it - Post...!) my impressions after I've had a chance to spend some time with it.

:shock:
That's not too far off the total budget just for wood and parts on my homemade Phil bass.


Looks good, Billy_V! I'll be interested to hear your review. :cool:
