Very nice, aj. That is a purty burst.

Just a thought here...could these hybrids (the vxt, the T5, etc.) work as a twelve string (with obvious mods)? Or would that be asking too much?

Tho I have not plugged it in yet, this is one sharp geeetar.

If I wake up early I'll try in the morning. If not tommorrow night for sure.
Hockey game is on tonight.

BTW... I think my amp speaker will be okay as long as I don't push it.

Chris, it would save time if we asked what he hasn't bought in the last month.

Not guilty Your Honour!!

I sort of unexpectedly ended up with the VXT.

It was at a very low price so I thought I'd throw a bottom feeder bid at it.
Lo and behold!!

I played a little bit plugged in this morning.
The terms "amazing" and "stunning" get thrown around here quite a bit and I try to avoid them.
But in this case the I'll say that the playability of this particular guitar is just amazing.

Just wait until he plays it through an amp without a blown speaker, then we'll hear about "stunned"

I employ a variation the the Book Of Templeman when posting words of praise.
And I quote:
From the book of master soundboards.
Chapter 3, line 6 and 7.
Always leave youself some headroom. That way you'll have a place to go.

Here endith the lesson.

No worries, mate.
Afterall, the floor was carpeted and after the forth time I figured I'd better use a strap.

The loose parts will add a unique type of distortion and reverb. :p
