great guitars mate!!!

 

[Slav123]

Thanks! I never thought that I would get a SM with my Axis addiction but, I was truly amazed by the way she felt and the pickup/sound options blew me away!

The SM looks sweet! Nice to see it in something other than blue

That ASS is stunning. Classy, but mean!

Unfortunately, I'd spend as much time cleaning it as I would playing it....but that's just me.

That's the curse with black guitars but, they are worth the extra cleaning time...

Thanks,

Screw cleaning, just play! The marks add to the characteristics..

I'd love to find a black Axis or ASS - nice one!

hu! That black morse with the matching headstock is awesome. I believed black guitars are boring, but this one is NOT!

what's that saying ? Once you've had black you'll never go back The Morse is great

Thanks Jason! It took me a long time to find this one. I always loved the combination of black body and headstock with a birdseye maple neck (plus the maple binding puts it all together nicely). I bought it from the original owner who special ordered it from his local GC in NJ back in 2003. It sounds amazing and the neck has a great broken-in feel to it. I guess I got lucky since you really don't see many ASS' out there in this color.

The SM came from a huge SM fan who was mostly an acoustic guitar player. When I got the guitar and opened up the case I couldn't believe how clean it was. The guy also threw in a bunch of SM Dixie Dregs concert stuff from 2002, some SM signed stuff and an early EBMM SM guitar ad (in plastic). It was like Christmas in the Summer!

I usually prefer other color than black, but these too look cool! Love the matching headstock on both ones!
