I did indeed. Red, Silver, Blue courtesy of Davetcan. The guitar is a 2008 ‘57RI Hot Rod that came with a Dimarzio track Pup in bridge and Fender SCNs in mid & neck. But I like the Lace Sensors. I have a set of 3X gold Lace Sensors waiting to be installed in another Strat.Did you put Lace pups in there on purpose, My Hero

They look so much better with 2 pickups instead of 3, imo. Beauty guitar, man.

Today's it's a Yamaha Revstar jam- in memory of one of my fave guitar players Gary Moore- who passed away on this date in 2011. Loved his Les Paul sound on the slower material- fat and clean at the same time- was going for that- didn't quite get there but you can hear what I was going for.

Every so often I wander into the guitar attic and select one to restring and re-visit.
This week it’s the US Masters V in this pic.
It’s an excellent guitar, nice jumbo frets, beautiful action and balances like a Les Paul, but as you can see, it's philthee!

I have been:
- avoiding this thread as it just keeps bringing me to myself, and i've been shirkin' & makin' excuses ... avoiding decisions regarding gear vs who/what i am ... and what i'm doing & what i do & where i feel i'm going ... decisions, the money, the work involved (sigh) ... pickup swaps, refrets, rewiring, selling off what i don't need etc etc etc ...
- enjoying playing, "shredding", and learning on my son's $70 Jay Turser acoustic. I love it. Just pick up and play.
- neglecting my main guitars. They are so sweet. "But" they all need work. Can't just pick 'em up and play. There's always something not right. Such a drag. So i skip them.
It's like i own Porches & Jags ... and then i prefer to haul ass to work everyday, burnin' rubber down the Queensway, hair on FIRE, and all the while just stylin' man ... ridin' my son's tricycle ... WTF ...
Maybe it's time to backup, make simple decisions from a more simple viewpoint, and then just fix my shit. If a decision becomes "difficult" just cut it off at the knees & simplify.
Git 'er done. Life is short ... and we are here for a good time, not a long time ...

... those look SO much like my USA Dean TimeCapsule Z & V ghostbuilt by US Masters, fretboard, neck, body woods look almost identical in build ... haha except for the headstocks ...
What year is that V? ... and how wide at the nut & 12th fret?
(just WOW)
... this is a 2005 ...

The one element that Dean has and which I wish my Masters had is that nice V-shaped string through plate. I always liked that.
I'm afraid I have no idea what year my V is. It's at least ten or fifteen years since I bought it used (here). I will say it's a far better guitar than I expected when I bought it.
As for the neck, I would have to measure that. I never really worry about that so much or how much they weigh. This one is probably 8 pounds and a few ounces (doesn't feel like a 10 pounder).
The neck is pretty chunky and stable and NO neck dive at all. It balances like a Les Paul.
