NGD: Sterling, by Music Man, Sub Cutlass.

I can't believe I did this just a week before Christmas. MF's SDOTD was this in an exclusive Candy Apple Red for $90 off. (Still there for another 19 hours.) But I didn't want red. I checked Sweetwater, and they had all the standard colors for just $10 more. I clicked on the Sherwood Green one. Should be here Friday.

I suppose now I should "Google" for a good divorce lawyer.

I got a Sterling Luke in sparkle purple this year. Fantastic instrument! Looking forward to the NGD pics.

Any big plans for it?

I gotta get it in my hands first. The stock A2 pups might be perfect.

Wheehoo! Arrived around 10 am this morning. Been playing it since. All it needed was a tune. Outstanding packaging. Double boxed, with the inside box wrapped with heavy-duty bubble wrap. Ran my thumb and forefinger down the frets and it's close to a pro setup. One or two stuck out a bit, but not sharp. Not a scratch or blemish on it.

The Sherwood Green needs to be photo'd in the Florida sun to bring out its sparkle, but it's been overcast and gloomy around here the last week or so. Neck has a gentle "roast" to it. Setup is excellent.

All three pups are A2 and excellent. It will be difficult to justify swapping them for Duncans. I'm gonna leave them alone for awhile.

The quality on this thing is outstanding. (And I didn't say, "for the price.")

One teeny oddity. There's some metallic "fuzz" on the G string neck pole piece. I'll have to work to get that off. You may be able to see it in the 1st pic.

Sterling must be one of the best values out there today. Really fantastic stuff.

Yeah. My first one. Now I want the one in Daphne Blue.
