NGS(ummer): I dove into offsets with reckless abandon...

Post by boytbpc » Fri Sep 27, 2019 5:05 am

Back in May I started a thread asking which Jazzmaster is the one for me and in July I got a Wildwood Thin Skin AV65 in Aztec Gold.

At first I fought with how bright it is, then I put flatwounds on it and it has become my most played guitar. In fact, I liked the neck on it so much, that my Gretsch G6128T-57 VS became unplayable. :( Which led me to a local trades for....

A 2018 Bilt Zaftig, Bocote neck, Rosewood Indian fretboard, Redwood caps, Roasted Alder core, Nitro lacquer finish, Silver Hand Missing Link + in the neck, and Fralin Big Single in the bridge.

My stratocaster and R9 are collecting dust these days.

That's a hell of a one-two punch. Congrats on those beautiful guitars!
I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

I like the Bilt so much I’m thinking about selling my R9 to get a Volare.

Nice guitars. I'm with you on the flatwounds, changed the game on my Jaguar. Went from one trick pony to my most versatile guitar with a string change.
