Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | According to the seller, this was misplaced in a store-room at the local shop. I think that it was a floor demo model. He sez he snagged it about a month ago...
Then his Wife told him that he had Too Many Guitars! [She hasn't met the OFC.]
The new one has the OP-Pro.
And it had the standard 3 shims under the saddle...
But I removed two shims, and now the string height is acceptable. I also put on some EXP11 80/20's... The other one has EJ16's. There is no reason to put the same strings on both guitars, I don't think. :p |

Me I'm after a 2nd 07C ;)
I think the Elite T would make a great camp fire guitar. The plain black look could easily be improved on. I recall Joe Satriani's wife attacking his guitar with a silver pen...

It is almost new and the price was right.
And USA T's are nearing collectors' item status.
They used to be on evilBay everyday for cheap, now those who have them are keeping them.
The top on this one hasn't even opened-up yet.

Location: Seattle | some how I have ended up with 2 ...(red and black). My sense of symmetry requires that I continue to look for the pewter one to complete the set.....IS this stage 1 OCD ? |

This no longer concerns me because (1) there's so many she gets confused when counting, (2) she forgets how many she counted on the last visit, and (3) she totally ignores the amps. |
