That is from when they were brand new. I will post some newer pics. The pickguard is gone from the 157, and I have yet to wipe down the nickel parts so they are aging really nicely.

 

I recently learned about Nashville tuning, and I keep the 535 strung that way.

They're tuned an octave higher? I'd be afraid that either the strings would break, or it would put a lot more stress on the neck.  I've never heard of doing that before.

You string them with the octave strings (or equivalent) from a 12 string set.

It really is like using the high set of strings from a 12 string set.

It really makes makes it bright and jangly. I don't think the guys from Slipknot or Disturbed use a lot of nashville tuning.  :D

I just notiiced the bound f holes and trapezoid inlays on the 535.  My first custom order from Jay was a 535 with trap inlays, bound peg head and f holes, Seth Lovers (long before they were a standard upgrade), select flame maple, almond burst.  I should have never let that one go...  :'(

D    12
