gpuma Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 just a set up, and some work on the frets... it has after all 24 years of life. It is a little beaten up, with some scars here and there (most notably the very tip go the headstock got damaged during the transoceanic trip from Italy to here... and I did the glue job myself, the damage being in a non structural point). Anyway to make a long story short... the guys at the shop used by the local GC would not stop looking at my old lady and asked me so many questions. They would literally not let me go! I felt a like a proud dad
gpuma Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 by the way, the curtain in the background is NOT my shower.
schundog Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Which GC in Chi-Town? I picked up my G-Brand ES-335 Memphis Reissue from the one in Arlington Heights, but have visited the one downtown, too. Nice Axe, man! Enjoy it.
big bob Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 That would be a stat Deluxe... I know.. I have one too!
gpuma Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 It is the GC on halsted. It is really convenient for me as I live pretty close to it
DetroitBlues Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Very nice. Not sure if I'd trust GC, but setups aren't that hard though. Some of those guys have no idea what they are doing.
tulk1 Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Very nice. Not sure if I'd trust GC, but setups aren't that hard though. Some of those guys have no idea what they are doing. The tech in our GC is one of the best techs in the area. He went "inside" for the steady paycheck. I'd trust this guy with any instrument I have. On the State Deluxe. That looks like a nice one, hockey head stock and all. :-)
gpuma Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Very nice. Not sure if I'd trust GC, but setups aren't that hard though. Some of those guys have no idea what they are doing. You are probably right, but for a simple setup I think it's not worth the extra hassle
PunkKitty Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 In that part of town, I prefer Chicago Fret Works on Lincoln Ave. I've also used Third Coast on Racine several times. The repair shop at GC on Halsted is run by Third Coast.
FredZepp Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Beautiful Stat. It's a good sign that the guys at the store could see that it is something special... some fine Parsons St. quality.

I never used Chicago Fret Works but that's what they suggest at the Old Town School of Music so, I guess it must be good. Thanks for sharing it.
ledzef Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 What trem does it come with? I thought they all came with kahler.
DavesNotHere Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 That's a nice one Gpuma! What is the triangle shape on the front? I can't pass up a Stat thread. Here is my '88

Right now I'm in a Cure ensemble there.
tulk1 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 That's a nice one Gpuma!What is the triangle shape on the front? Looks like a pick holder.
SouthpawGuy Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Most excellent ! Love those early Heritage rockers !
gpuma Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 Looks like a pick holder. yes it is. I know it looks terrible but it's like a safety blanket for me
