about it!
Fretboard: Brazilian Rosewood (consecutive cut from #201 & #202 - thanks JamesS)
Pickups: Pasadena '80 in Neck / Pasadena '86 (Neck) in Bridge - The un-official Joe
Bonna-set.
Inlays: Mother of Pearl Firesuns / Sterling Silver center

What a classic look! Fairly simple with just a hint of flash in the Firesuns, #204 is a
favorite of mine. There is no push/pulls or trick wiring...just your basic '50's set-up -
yet it sounds amazing and is very versatile once you start tweaking Tone controls. The
Pasadena neck is a mild wind to retain articulation and the bridge position is just a
little meaner to push the front end a bit. A great classic rock tone - perfect actually.
The huge neck is just that...huge. Huge Tone.
Thank you Shane...I hope you dig it!
