Re: FS: Douglas Hawker & Deltatone Black Beauty
I don't own the Natural one in my avatar, actually; it was chosen as an "aspirational" image -- that's how I would have refinished the Tribal Purple one that I'm selling!

FS: Douglas Hawker & Deltatone Black Beauty
Amidst one of those "Best Laid Schemes" / "Life Gets In The Way" periods I'm sure you've all experienced, have decided that these two pieces of MIK awesomeness (and perhaps this community, too) would be better served by me finding new, loving homes for them. Douglas Hawker -- no ...

Re: Agile AL-3100MCC is being discontinued. The end of an era
Like Goldilocks, I went through a few examples of the AL-3100MCC, till I found this one, which -- after a few minor mods -- was "jussssst right" (for me, at any rate -- YMMV). Can't imagine ever letting it go.

I don't know that I'd be willing to learn how to play left-handed in order to save $200, so, kudos.

Re: NGD: Cort Sunset TC OPMY
I wasn't aware of this model. It's a ruggedly handsome instrument, with those inlays adding a touch of Deco elegance. Assuming it sounds as good as it looks, Cort hit it out of the park with this one. It's a bolt on, correct? Is it still in production? Where did you get this one? Traditional 4-bolt...

Re: NGD: Cort Sunset TC OPMY
Sweeet guitar! Thanks, it covers a nice combo of ground which I was missing since having moved this baby on... https://i.postimg.cc/J821Fy0x/2017-Agile-AL-2500-TC-VWH.jpg In all candor, though -- and I'm aware that the following words may be considered heresy 'round these parts -- I prefer the Cort.

Re: NGD: Cort Sunset TC OPMY
Yeah, they're a cool "hand me down" from the original Cort Sunset I -- a larger, Gretsch-like semi-hollow that came stock with TV Jones pickups -- which hit the market now over a decade ago!

"OPMY" stands for "Open Pore Mustard Yellow," which sounds like some kind of killer skin ailment, but actually, it looks great on this guitar...
And only sounds killer.

Always liked those; nice 'n' compact, attractive curves, balanced proportions (including the handsome headstock). Believe Danny Elfman is a devotee. Enjoy!

Same as the original Douglas Hawker (but for the fretboard wood and inlays, obvi), along with the Shine and Stadium axes sporting that exact silhouette -- all four made by Saein Musical Instrument Co., Ltd, OEM builders of MIK & MIC Epiphone, Ibanez, Peavey, etc., guitars. https://i.postimg.cc/2...

Re: NGD: 2018 AL-3100MCC Oceanburst Flame MN
Here are the other two -- more subtle -- mods that no one picked up on... Swapped a lightweight aluminum tailpiece and tune-o-matic bridge in place of the the stocker (which sports Graph Tech saddles); getting more "zing" and "braannngggg" than before. https://i.postimg.cc/kgxVVS...

These are the innards of the humbucker-sized Valco/Supro-style single coil bridge pickup found on the Reverend Rick Vito Signature model guitar; the company calls it the "Dual Pro" pickup -- ought to give the curious a good idea of what's goin' on in these types of pickups... vito_VT_picku...

Re: NGD: 2018 AL-3100MCC Oceanburst Flame MN
Some guitars are just DOA. Many can be brought back to life (e.g., different gauge strings, a new bridge made from a different metal), but there are a few that are simply duds than cannot be revived no matter what one tries.
