Location: Buffalo,NY | ...this guitar is great looking,plays great and a tone machine.I paid $400 for this about 2 weeks ago. There is one ding on the body and one ding on the binding of the first fret. Neither interfere with the playability or sound:
A lot to love in this guitar; the designer sure knew what he was doing. A great guitar at triple the price.
Regards,
Tom |

Or, uh, something.

Everyone knows SUCK is a potentiometer, not a switch. And it's on the mixing board.
Which is why you have to be nice to the soundguy. |

Thank you. The gold on white is a great look.

Jim Jim,
I don't know about that. I think I'll try this strap first and see if it works:

Thank you. I was having a bit of trouble with the lighting. White is a hard color to shoot for me.
I don't know anything about the calendar so tell me more.

The switches appear to be for switching the pickup from single coil to humbucker. It makes the guitar very versatile.

All my guitars were order with the "Talent boost switch" but for some reason none of them work !!

Tom Have to tell you, Tom, that is a beautiful looking UKII. I think the last time I posted about a UK I said that a white one with ebony board and the bowtie inlays would be my preferred configuration. CWK2 posted that the white ones only ever had the abalone inlays (I think that's right), but they still look sharp to me. Great looking guitar. |
