So I’ve been wanting to get a little project guitar going and loved the look of this. I originally thought it was a Mayones knockoff but went with it since it had basswood body and rosewood neck. Figured what the heck. Turns out it was a Suhr Andreii something or other’s signature model. The original is $4000 which is nuts. So, this beauty cost me $170.
Plays great, sounds like utter crap and the hardware is trash. Exactly what I wanted lol.
Will post up progress after parts get in.

The guitar looks nice, I like the shape, congrats!
It's amazing how your picking hand barely moves and you can get all those sounds. At 56 I'm not sure I can learn to play like that, but I would like to, as there are several songs that I would like to play but it's clear that I would need those skills before (Europe songs, Stryper songs, etc.).
Enjoy it!

Yeah that's exactly how I would play it.......
Full on kidding - I wish! That was excellent playing! I'm with you Sabasgr68 - also 56 and even though I'm improving I have such a far way to go LOL.
I like the look of that guitar - where did you come across it?

@Tiga chibsons are probably going to get banned or taxed into oblivion soon so I wanted to get a cheap project guitar I could throw some EMG’s and mediocre hardware at so I did a search on eBay for “electric guitar us warehouse” and a whole slew popped up so I added it to watchlist and waited the two days to get a deal offered and there you go. $170 free ship from Cali

Nice tip. Will give me an excuse to keep on looking on more guitars just as a sport
