schundog Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Paul, I KNOW you would love a 525; they are awesome guitars, and LIGHT! I wasn't sure Steiner was going to give mine back to me at PSPIV; I sat and listened to the musical encyclopedia play song after song on mine acoustically on the Friday night jam back at the hotel. Plugged in?! Aye Carumba! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 You can tell when you're capitalizing on a guitar; the owner starts moving closer, then leans in... There are times when even that tactic doesn't register with the player. Such was the case with Schundog's ax. The longer I played, the stronger it evoked a response from me. I just couldn't put that bad boy down. Had we plugged it in, I probably would still be there. Yea, SkyDog52, the one I played played me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugged in?! Aye Carumba! You DOG shundog! I never paid attention that you owned a 525! And no pickguard? Whats up with that? Was this a custom order and when did you get it (and where)? Sorry for being so nosey. You are a fortunate man to own a 525. They are out of my price range (for now). I'd have to sell a Harley to get one!

Hey, Will, I got my 525 right here, VERY slightly used from our own MartyGrass right after PSPIII. The good Doctor made me a great deal on it, and it is my most cherry condition Heritage! X serial #, OSB, and set up like a dream. Steiner asked me "Who'd you have set this thing up?!" I told him that I simply took off the heavier strings MG had on it, put D'Dario .10s on it, and tweaked the truss rod/bridge slightly, and that was it, and he looked at me like I had robbed Fort Knox. It's a great guitar. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/schundog/PSPIII132.jpg[/img]"]http:// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
