That's my new baby!!!
Received it on Friday and gigged with her Friday and Saturday evenings.
Lot's of compliments on how she sounds..........and looks!
Very inspiring to play!
Have to give Jack props for suggesting the Brockburst color.........couldn't be happier.
Jack is truly a Master Craftsman in my book!!

Thanks Jack for such a great build!

Well, I'm a little afraid of yellow so Jack warmed up the Brockburst a little.
Perfect for me! Very Happy

Thanks Richard!

I wasn't sure if it bothered you or Jack and didn't want to take a chance.

Congrats on your new guitar! It's stunning and I guess it's fair to say I'm a big fan of the Brockburst color as well. Smile

Im a little late on this but I wanted to see how you guys feel about wolfetone legends? I just ordered a legend bridge for my briggs classic...I had a duncan anniversary seth lover in there (which was very nice) but Ive heard so many great things about wolfetones, I thought Id give it a try..

I like the Legends in my guitars (Briggs & Gustavssons) They split very well and have a nice midrange to them.
