I want that surf green one.....IIRC these have been on sale for months now (think Ultra posted them before), if they're still on sale later this summer after I recover from vet bills and car repairs I might grab one.

Aye.

Kinda surprised them FSRs are still in stock. When I posted about them last year I kinda expected them to go poof overnight, and the interest was pretty good on GT with a few buyers posting their purchases. Lightweight chambered MIC fun with crunchy goodness and a hardtail, they're very much Les Paul Deluxe flavored goods without Henry J's mashed potatoes automatically caked on your self confidence in public.

I imagine the neck feels much like my Corvette reissue, with the 24.6" scale and jumbo frets. Only with a thicker body attached to it and no reverb handle. I really have grown to like that guitar and a more Les-Pauly version in a pretty color would go nicely with it.

I really need to unload some cheap geets and/or keyboards to make room for this....

Very first run had them in sunburst, discontinued years ago but I thought it looked cool:

When you press the accelerator past halfway it doesn’t actually go any faster, but the engine noise distorts
