It really is a sweet guitar and sounds terrific through the 110's.

Trying to uplead photos but says the "board attachment quota has been reached". I'll try later.

Hey Kidz...
I had to have one of Phils guitars sooo...I ordered one.
I had no problem with e-mail contact...and only one time had to wait more then a few hours for a reply.
I sent the Down Payment of $2225 for a T3 with the FX Loop/Bypass about two weeks ago.
He said that his current batch is almost complete and I should have the guitar soon.
He has added both Rosebud and Tiger inlay panels as well as personalizing the bottom brass fret for me.
I will post a replay to this to let everyone know how it went.

That's a sweet looking guitar. It looks like Phil has definitely improved. I like the smooth curves of the carved top as opposed to his older method where it was more "scalloped" looking.

By the way, how much is a T2 or T3?

[TI4-1009]

Phil doesn't make a T2 any more (with the white "phenolic" layers in the body), he only makes the T3 with brass edge inlay. T3 lists for $4500. I got mine for less than that because I asked for it without electronics and with a few "deletes" from the standard.

I'm smitten with mine. Just beautiful.

Thanks. When you say less, do you mean like $500 less or something close to that?

I received my PHIGA Tiger 3 today...
MONEY WELL SPENT!
It is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever held in my hands and played.
The workmanship is outstanding...I'd give it a 95 out of 100...there's two or three minor ( and I mean almost impossible to see if you aren't going over it with a magnifying glass...) defects.
A place or two where the brass doesn't quite line up and you can see a hairline between the brass pieces...
I have to say it is one of the most solid instruments I've ever held...
And the sound ( for the gear I've got ) is amazing...
She sings and growls like no other guitar I've ever played!
Thank You Phil Gawen for making me a Dead Heads DREAM GUITAR!

That's awesome but you really need to share some good pics.

Enjoy GNMOne! From one Phiga Tiger owner to another- glad you like it. "Solid" is a word I use to describe mine too- it sure is. Reminds me in that way of my old Gibson Firebird from high school- dense, solid.

Yeah- let's see some pics!
