SBMM Prototype Cutlass coming my way

[telemike]

Pulled the trigger on the COT50 prototype Pete has. Love buying guitars from Dubaldo. Best service from an etailer.

I will eventually upgrade the 5-way switch to a CRL and the pickups to Rose Robusta pickups

Looks like the red on Knoflers strat

That's one sweet looking Cutlass! I'd love to know how it compares to a EBMM one.

Nice man congrats I saw that on the Dubaldo sight the other day I thought it was cool.

nice that thera are SBMM protos out there. Are there any differences other than the word "PROTO"?

 

[telemike]

The paint is Fire Engine Red, so it's the only one in that color

 

[JayDawg]

Very nice! That is a sexy prototype!

Should be here tonight

Arrived. well made. Wonder if it's basswood like production models. It weighs more than my SBMM Valentine. The wood is heavier than the Valentine's ash. The neck pickup is acting wonky. Way lower output than the other 2 pickups. Going to throw a set of Tex-Mex pickups in it with a better 5-way switch this weekend.

If I were to buy a Cutlass that is the colour I would want. Nice looking guitar

Here's the info from Brian Martin, former VP at SBMM

#9 CT50 Fire Engine Red THIS CAME ABOUT AS AN ARGUMENT BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE FACTORY. THIS IS WHAT THEY DETERMINED WHAT FIESTA RED WAS. IT IS MORE LIKE "OSHA ORANGE" OR A SICK TOMATO...

So I have prototype #9

Have some Fender Tex-Mex pickups and better 5-way switch on the way
