barrymclark Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Alrighty. That was a long, long trip. I picked up the guitar and brought it home intending to clean it and change the strings. Then I found out it had TI Swings on it. So I played it unplugged then amplified. Everything works as it should. It is a very clean guitar. A GREAT grab at $1500. I don't really care for the TI's. Putting the Chromes on it later. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrymclark Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 What's most notable about it immediately is the weight. Compared to the smaller H575 it is much lighter. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterbright Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Looks a lot like mine except mine has the gold hardware. Congrats again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrymclark Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I got it all polished up and restrung. Has a VERY acoustic sounds even plugged in. Lots of bass. Taking some getting accustomed to but a lovely tone. The floating pickup is not as robust sounding as the setin humbuckers. Expected. Very articulate.

Keith7940236 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Congratulations on a beautiful addition. The mahogany Eagles are really great buys and are really unique sounding also. I"m hoping you will post some sound clips of it! Do you know which of the pickups it has? If it has no red tape it's a first generation. One piece and it is a second generation, two pieces and it's a third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Nice Eagle Looks a lot like mine except for the gold hardware and the bound pickguard. Did you know that GPuma has a gold 'H' tailpiece you may be able to acquire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrymclark Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 To polish up the metal hardware, I used toothpaste. It did a great job really. ...and the Eagle has minty fresh breath now. Once I cleaned and conditioned the fretboard, the ebony took on a beautiful deep color. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genericmusic Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Where would this red tape be? On the bottom of the pick-up. Probably have to take the PG & PUP off to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrymclark Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Has ASB written on it. Assuming that is the finish.
