  • Granite Dinky has Arrived!!!

    I was sitting around on the ol' computer when I heard a knock on my door. I looked out my window, and to my suprise it was a UPS truck! So I'm coming downstairs like a 4 year old on Christmas morning, grab a knife, and open the box that was PACKED FOR WAR!!!! Lo' and Behold, a DINKY!!! Then I saw something else... THE TREM BAR!!! I couldn't believe it came with it... usually they don't! LOL!!

    Upon close inspection I found that the guitar is in INCREDIBLY CLEAN condition!!!!!! Almost PRISTINE on the body with the except of 2 half a dime(if even that) sized dings 3 or 4 inches from the back strap pin, and they were both extremley close to each other. Very SLIGHT dents(and I mean TINY) in 2 places on the headstock, but other than that, it was FLAWLESS! The what looks like, JT-580 trem on it looked like brand new, so did the neck.

    The previous owner had swapped out the pickups in the guitar, and I don't know what they are, but they sound like Seymour Duncans, I haven't opened it up to look yet, but I will at another time.. next string change I guess.

    Well, I ran it up stairs, tuned it up(Mike had detuned it completley before shipping), set the action and VOILA! An INCREDIBLE playing guitar with a EXTREMLEY COOL finish!!

    Here are the badly lighted, bad angled pics!!!

                    Nice Axe Word, congrats. Next time try not to threaten the UPS guy like that. They might want to deliver to your house anymore. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                      I missed out on one of those last year [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] It had a maple finger board though and the original pickups, the bridge pickup was one of the "rail" type ones (looked similar to the Seymour Duncan's in the Scott Ian signature guitar) and was an absolute monster. If your new axe is as good as the one I let get away then you've got a quality axe there pal so congrat's to you.
