That’s actually a great box. I booted mine from the pedal board but if I had to grab one “do it all pedal” and head out the door with it this would be the one I’d grab.
Used to play long ago, never used this but pretty sure I still have it in the box - anyone want it if I can find it?
These are absolutely beautiful! Thanks for posting pics.
AWSOME collection, but I hate you rite about now.
LOL can never have too much distortion.
My Crate 212 has a good distortion side with foot pedal. But when I play "plugged' at all, I'm in the basement on the 10watt with the Boss ME25. So it would just gather dust over here..

I hate myself too. Want to see my vintage guitars and amps? I'll save them for later.
Thanks for the info. I really hope Nick is able to find it next week. I’m just getting started on pedals and only have a Dunlop CAE wah-wah pedal so far.

Here are some duplicate guitars I have on consignment at my buddy's shop. If anybody is interested please message me for a better deal. I hope this doesn't break any BOTL rules.

@XENU you have an amazing collection and I hope to have half the collection some day.
Finished project stratocaster today. Swapped pickguard, pickups, and all electronics, Jack's, etc. Had my luthier friend give it a proper setup and work over the frets. It is a players dream now. Put Guitar Fetish Boston Blues Texas wound pups in it and hot damn do I love the sound. A serious sound at a budget friendly price. Their service is garbage though so just keep that in mind.

So I never did expect to copy the Senn-Eastwood exactly. I'm not using the Jaguar-Style tremolo ( I have a Jag Body coming in from another source, I'll deploy it there. )
But a problem arises without the big tremolo whammy assembly on board. Now the guitar didn't look right with all the extra real estate on the ass-end. Almost half the guitar is doing nothing.
So I took an inch off the tail .. but first.. on my duplicate styrofoam cutout.
Sure enough, on test I realize that I lose too much at the 6:00 position following the cut. I lose the space where I rest my palm when I play. It was clear on the mock cutout, the new design was going to be cumbersome.
So I go back to the drawing board. I did trim an inch off the bottom, but with a modified cut.
This let me keep my palm rest area, guitar is 1" shorter, plus the bottom line intentionally follows the same angle as the guitar's shoulder.
It's oak by the way. This is it lined up. LOL oK no more about this one.

NGD the other day when it was negative my balls ain't dropping till spring!
Waited to unbox. Waited to play. Finally had enough time off work too mess around and check it out and play a little last night with it.
So here she is. Yamaha Pacifica 212vqm.
Got a heck of a deal off Amazon because someone damaged the box so only paid a little over $200 for it and its fit as can be.
It does need a setup and I did notice some sharp fret ends but after its acclimated a couple days it's warmed up a little and only a couple frets need hit on the side of the neck with a file.
Never had a Pacifica I didnt love and this ones no different. One of the most versatile and consistently made guitars on the planet and I'm glad to have this one.
Tuners are rock solid and I did pick up a tusq string tree I still need to put on to replace the butterfly one.
I may get lazy and take it to my local tech and have a full setup to see what he thinks. Action is a little higher than I like but intonation is spot on right out of the box after it shook off all the icicles.
Cheers!

The 100 year old piano body just got her wireup this weekend. Six months on this build.
Older picture, before wireup, below. The "wave" and old (kimberly) Teisco logo on the headstock I determined was too "busy" and was revised about three weeks ago.
