lulz @ Fender

I know you can get the thin skins in nice colours, but the AVRI now only comes in black, white and sunburst. Imaginative as ever.

ice blue metallic, too.

That's odd, they have the IBM picture at the bottom but in the spec list it just says..

Colors: (800) 3-Color Sunburst,
(805) Olympic White,
(806) Black,
(Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish)

you might be right, though. mf still has ibm as an option, too, but sam ash doesn't. maybe they have sales data to backup their weak selection?

I had some roundwound .011s on my Jaguar and had the same problem with the high E. So i slapped some flatwound .012s onnit and theres no more buzz.

That's cos the thicker strings means more tension and bends the neck a bit more making the action higher. Adjusting the action with 11s would have the same effect.

Flat vs round does not affect buzz but does affect sound/tonality quite a lot - possibly in a good way, possibly in a bad way. It depends on what sound you like, what other gear you have, how you play, etc.

I bought my used AVRI Jag from Guitar center in New York off their used website (I live in Dallas). Mine is sunburst and it was mismarked for $700. Find of a lifetime for me. $1100 is a good price for a used one. I like the Fiesta Red. You can find some good deals on Guitar Center's website (used section)

did you have to pay shipping charges to get it to you ? did they send it to your local GC ?

did you have to pay sales tax ?

It's a big purchase so get the colour you want. Don't go for Fiesta Red if it's a little cheaper or available sooner when you really want OTM.

You should really consider the Thin Skins. There are a few differences in spec and it will hold it's value well. I think they're 7.25" radius.

ok just got off the phone with the dude.

i have to pay Minn sales tax. (why?)
i also have to have it shipped to my billing address, i cant have it sent to the bike shop. no way in hell i am going to let this thing sit on the sidewalk.

why cant they just send it to my guitar center?

aren't these thin skin things like 2 grand? im looking more for 1000-1200


i sure don't want that 9.5 jumbo fret bullshit

They shipped it directly to my house in a Gibson box no less. I think they added shipping and tax onto the final tally. The guitar cost me $700 and the final bill was $775.

Honestly, I was so nervous they were going to renig on the deal when they saw they had mispriced it, I just completed the sale before they could change their minds.

What is OTM?

ocean turquoise metallic.

thin skins are $1599.99 + S&H from Wildwood

no OTM though.

all those thin skins are 9.5 necks with fat stupid frets on them. no want

that last point probably has to do with how guitar center controls its inventory nationwide.

and sales tax can be charged to out of state buyers if the business has a physical presence in the buyer's state.
