Beautiful guitar...
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus

thanks guys!
i'm gonna get to the bottom of that tonight i think. i've heard that the early MIJ wide rangers are supposed to be pretty much exact clones of the originals, and not like the new MIM ones. we'll see. :twisted:

I really like the setup of these. Tele bite in the bridge, humbucker in the neck. I think I'd be more likely to get a custom than deluxe if I ever went the wide ranger route.

Yes. what on earth does it mean?

If you're looking to take off that shine, I've heard that T-cut does a decent job. It would be rather silly though.

yes it's the best of both worlds.

...here's some new gut-porn. the WRHB definitely looks more like an original one, it ain't got those weird cables the new MIM's have.
