Yeah we're lucky to have so many options now. Any colour you like!

Spectrum13 makes some astute points I think in the 90s? when PRS was a newer brand & threatened Gibson as "best of" they were priced higher too, so Gibson jacked their prices up. It's market perception and people responded to it. Of course they need to have stupidly expensive models. They're projecting a brand image. Does it really cost that much to build them? Is it worth it to you? Quality wood costs money, so does extra labour to hand build & cosmetically age things. Only an individual can decide if a guitar is worth it to them, we all have differing ideals & tastes

That'a a beauty! Congrats!

Congrats, looks fantastic!

Beautiful guitar!!

Those are both nice H140's. I hope the OP ends up with it

You guys need to try the new '284 pickups. They're like '59's and '225's combined!

What about one of those solid state jazz amps, like Polytone?

🤣 I bet it is exceptionally well made though! "Well made amps for well hung guitar players"

That's an awesomely appointed tele!

You need a Mesa Boogie! Hey didn't you just buy a big clean Dr Z 2x6L6 amp?

Probably the dumbass cabinet builder

Lol, too funny pressure 😅 DB that's supercool! Thanks for the pics. Very impressive & looks like a fun place to explore. I see they're setup to compare the EVH stripped cab approach to regular, too

I always thought of them like a thinner H-574. I had a 574 & sold it because my fret hand kept getting jammed in the cutaway. The thinner Roy Clark would be better in that respect, I'd think.

Aha, I was getting curious myself! Glad the mystery is solved I have a Kyser 12 string capo: it's a bit longer but otherwise the same as their 6 string I have. They work fine but I prefer those smaller cam design adjustable capos. At least on 6 strings.

If you brought the gtr to a shop they would probably measure it for you?

Like I said earlier, an email to the factory might give you an answer. Or get some fretboard radius gauges. Otherwise it's all just wild speculation?

Yeah that was great! "my metal guitar, amplifier & a suitcase" I saw my tech friend fixing a Mesa Nomad today, what a nightmare to work on: overheating problems, terrible airflow, pain in the ass to disassemble. No thanks.

Yeah the Keyser Söze's are complicated

Oops I meant to say "whatever floats yer boat" at the end of that.

You could contact the factory, they could probably get you a definitive answer on that. I'd be surprised if it's different but you never know

That is a beautiful guitar, congratulations! They are not common. Roy Clark was an amazing gtr player too. Play it in good health Salut!

Haha! It'll grab everyone's attention that's for sure!

That's a good note about the Filtertrons, I always wondered if that was just cosmetic.

That sounds awesome! I'd play the riff a couple times before everything comes in though: there's no context/setup & everything just slams upfront. But maybe you want to do that
