big bob Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 the slaughter I just bought is translucent red wine over mahogany, any of you have closeup pics of this finish? I'd sure love to see um.. Thanks, Lance
Steiner Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 It appears there is 575 going down on Fleabay any moment with the trans red on mahogany neck. Neck Body Hope this works!
big bob Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 when is the ETA????? your guess is as good as mine! probably around three weeks...customs ? I've never imported a guitar before, I have shipped many things from Italy and all were quick, but a package that large from Amsterdam might set off some red flags..

big bob Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 just got a reply from Ren, he thinks between 10-20 of these were made, funny as this is the only one other than Marks and the yellow one the prince of darkness has, I've ever seen I can't wait 20 year old new old stock!!!
pushover Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Lance, That is one cool loooking guitar you put up there.. Don't think I've ever seen one of them before.. Irrespective of what you think of the color, I'm sure you'll love it.
big bob Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 Not red wine, but cherry: WoW , Dick, is that finish transparent?

Irrespective of what you think of the color, I'm sure you'll love it. I hope so.. kinda a leap of faith, buying from so far away.. I'm also a little worried because it has basically the same set up as the stat dlX with vip of course, don't want to duplicate the sound, I love the stat dlx
Cryoman Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Look at the photos of my wine-red H150 in the "for sale" section. The mahogany back/body of this H150 is wine-red like the maple top. Cheers, Cryoman
Dick Seacup Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 WoW , Dick, is that finish transparent? Yes, trans cherry over hog.
jacques Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I've played one of these in a guitar store in Amsterdam and decided to buy the H162 they had on offer too - mostly because of the soft tail it had. I don't remember the sound, just that it was built like a tank and had pretty much the construction of a 150 with just a lot of weird curves, the single coils and the incomprehensible VIP. Beware that the Schallers are of excellent quality - they're the same as I have on the 162. Don't remember either if it had a sandwiched body or just plain...

Jacques this is the guitar you played I'm having it sent from Amsterdam. I've been trying to get a hold of you for several weeks, don't you check your messages. do you remember anything else? any comments on the shopkeeper?
jacques Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Oh sorry Lance, I forgot to check the notify box, probably after we all migrated to a new provider at the HOC... PM sent, dude!
