Re: Brian Moore Custom Shop C55.....
Got it yesterday...it was slowed down by the snow storms in Ohio......
Pretty friggin' nice guitar!!! I can really get used to the body shape/style...very comfortable standing & sitting. Sweet mahogany body, nice natural binding on the maple top, nice maple neck w/rosewood fretboard....not too fat/not too thin, I seem to recall playing an Ernie Ball one time that had a neck like this. Someone else said it's similar to a Wolfgang.
I'm not to hot on the color, which is black w/a silver sparkle. Looks like someone threw silver sparkles in the air, took the wet, freshly painted guitar & swung it around in the cloud. Not my cup o' tea, certainly not the "paint job" one would associate with a Custom guitar.
The Jazz in the neck is very sweet & smooth...my first time using a Jazz & I'm liking it both split & straight out. The JB in the bridge, on the other hand, I find a little harsh. I've gotta play it more to check out all the little nuances, but I'll probably swap it out for a Custom Custom, like earlier recommended.
All in all, very nice guitar & a very worthy trade for a MIM Strat !!!
Once I figure out the new digital camera we got for Christmas, I'll get some pics up.
