I wanna hear from guys who have PC1's and love the heck out of them or if you are dying to own one! I wanna know if you've gigged with one, have more than one or even if you drool over the ones on ebay! What's the best feature about the PC1 (and don't everyone say the sustainer!lol) What's the best color out there? What serial number(s) do you have? Mahogany or Koa? Quilted or flamed fingerboards? Strat headstock or old style? And let's post some pics too!
Here's my story: I own a 98 PC1 KOA 004699 that was originally a Au Natural that the original owner took to a luthier and had it painted red (burnt orange according to my wife). It was done very professionally and was looks great. I traded a PC archtop for it. It had the sustainer in it, but was not working properly at the time. I had it for a few months and got really frustrated with the sustainer and sold it in the music store I worked in. About 3 years later I say it in a pawn shop with the sustainer stripped out of it and an EMG installed in it. I bought it, put in a Seymour Duncan JB and have been playing it ever since. Plays like a dream too. It's in OK shape, some dings on it but it seems like it always ends up in my hands at a gig. I plan on installing a sustainiac in it when money becomes available to do so.
I also have a 01 or 02 PC1 Au Natural (5150) That I just got this week and love it. I bought it from El Cerrito Guitar Center (They suck btw). Plays like a dream and is in great shape.
I also had a Chlorine PC1 (a 2007) with the Fender headstock, which I don't like. Loved the guitar, but had to sell it to make a house payment. I bought it from Matt's Music (which was a really good experience, I'd buy from him again) I was disappointed in the top, and didn't like the burst on it, but it was still a great guitar. Gigged with it a few times and had no issues with it.
So I will post pics when I figure out how too!
