Rare sighting.

Sweet! I have one of those. The light on the music stand, I mean. That is the first cowpoke I ever came across with a Sweet 16.

He needs a Millennium!

Top wrapping has worked great for me, but I don't think that Lightning option existed yet! Brilliant.

I confess i'm not up to date on the details of the latest model distinctions. I've got mine and I'm decidedly NOT looking to expand! Nice to see such a high profile artist putting them out there though. Not aware of many.

Looks like a new Custom Core to me.

and now he has 3. added another with a bigsby. I'd say he's a convert. Playing sold out back to back shows at 100,000 people a night. Not bad.

Have you looked at the Lightning stoptail? It slopes upwards so that the strings exit the tailpiece higher up. No need to top wrap for clearance, so you don't trash your stoptail finish. I thought about this one time, but these guys already did it. https://lightningguitars.com/ They're located in Hampshire UK.

It sounds like he's a convert! He walks in to a store, plays a 530, and buys it on the spot and then adds a CC 535 later. Way cool!

did a little digging. This may be a custom H530??? Turns out his touring lead player relies heavily on a H-530. https://guitar.com/features/interviews/fretbuzz-noah-levine/

Here's the photo

The Grammy's. Haven't watched intentionally ever. Caught a few minutes back in the day when my kids were teens. Since getting re-married, I share my home with a 17 yr old HS senior, so it was on. I stayed in another part of the house, came into the kitchen, noticed Noah Kahan was playing, who I know and appreciate, and wouldn't you know, it's a music video prominently featuring a SB triple nickel with the pickguard in black. A rare guitar even amongst us fanboys. You figure there were 15 - 20 million viewers and Kahan is selling out stadiums these days. He's known for his semi fetish, but his go to is typically a Guild Starfire of Fender Coronado, with the occasional Fender Starcaster, or 335 thrown in, this is when he's not playing high end acoutstics. edit to add: looking at this I'm thinking it's an older custom? has block inlays and a headstock inlay but neither the headstock or neck are bound and the hardware is silver. Pawn shop find? It was a music video, not a live performance. He's lounging in the back of a Volvo stationwagon as it makes its way.

Yeah, I already now that. But some people here, as I already read changed the pinnacle bridge to an faber ABR-1 Style because the bridge is smaller and the string wont hit the back anymore.

Bridge Type Approx. Length ABR‑1 (ABR) Shorter, narrower footprint Vintage design; limited saddle travel; lighter. Nashville Longer, wider footprint Modern design; more intonation range; larger body and saddle slots. Farber is ABR-1 sized. You can also top wrap the stop tail for better clearance, but the disadvantages are scaring the surface and if your style has your palm scraping over the strings, not too comfortable. Nashville bridges are physically longer because the housing is wider and the saddles have more room to move. ABR‑1 bridges are more compact, which is why vintage Gibson spacing and post locations differ from Nashville-equipped guitars.

Hi, I cant get my stoptail high enough so the strings always touch the back of the bridge on my custom core stock bridge. Is there a smaller faber bridge that would fit? Do I need anything else for it then?

On that note: I don't understand the primes of the posters question. I have a natural fret of being tackled, but can't quite wrap my mind around tackling a threat. Superbowl predictions?

Messaged you Brent! Thanks!

I have a set of chrome HRWS if anyone needs one

Sweet 16 in an excellent 3 piece combo playing a steak house gig. Reddish sunburst with split parrelelograms. Picture to follow.

Maybe a Jim Beam…..

My 2011 cherry 137 has a huge neck also
