heritagefan7 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 That is really a beautiful guitar. Mark, thanks so much for helping w/ the tone questions that led me to the 555 I just got. I absolutely love it. I hope that you really enjoy that one...it's awesome!
Kuz Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I special ordered my 555 with Nickel (no gold here, but I do think it looks good on the archtops).
Blunote Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I had to sell one of my kids to get it! You can always make more of them. Good to see you've got your priorities in order.
donnie Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Well MArty, I don't know about the tone report, but I'll jump out there on the beauty report-stunning!
Guest HRB853370 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Wow, I love it without the gold hardware. Did you order it like that? Its sweet but something about gold plated hardware on a 555!
eor Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 since you're a nice guy, i'll let you in on a little secret. maple neck + flatwound strings = tonal victory
MartyGrass Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 eor, I arrived with flatwounds! I won't be able to plug it in until Friday night. The neck is thin. I'm not used to that, but I'll adjust quickly.
koula901 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 I also prefer the 555 without gold, much classier in my personal opinion - there are differing schools of thought of course! Your guitar is stunning, here's a picture of my 555 with Nickel. It was originally gold but I had my local tech replace it all. Awesome!!
koula901 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 It's due to arrive on Wednesday. Then today's the big day!
NoNameBand Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 MG, wow. Thats beautiful. Nice without the Gold. Looks like a better 535.
