Got this baby in a trade, for my PRS Torero. I must have still been feeling the pain from my last Jerry post about that MIJ parstcaster, because I felt the urge to ditch my MIK PRS.
Anyways, this thing totally surprised me. It's got a SD PAF in the bridge and a high output ceramic pick-up at the neck, and it's got an on board boost, that highlights more mid-range plus this guitar comes stock coil splitting as well as the on board boost. It's not a modern Jerry tone but it's closer to the 78 Jerry tone than any other guitar I have right now and with no mods, and even though I aquired it in a trade the asking price on CL was only about $550 USD.
Ebony fret board, cream binding, mahogany neck cap and body. But it's chambered and I think that's what makes it so bright because it's got a biting high end on the high E string. Really classic look.
They make a sister model with 3 Lollar P90's, and it comes with the same on board boost, and I just saw one in the local guitar store marked down from $1450 to $900. Those pups alone are about $300. Really great value in a Canadian (Quebec) build.And another store also had one they had to unload, because surprise to me, I was told by the store manager that guitar stores have a real problem selling anything with three pick-ups unless it's a stratocaster.
The thing plays great, although the upper frets are a bit tricky to play, because it's got a larger heel (but strong neck joint). It's basically a LP, with some innovations to set it apart, both in looks and in the electronics.
Hopefully I won't offend as many folks as last time by posting here, but it's definitely a Jerry guitar, not a Bobby guitar, and it requires zero modifications, meaning it's something you could pick up, play and unload without taking a bath.
Peace,
James
