psc3251 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Ok, first off, apologies for not being around much- I do keep checking in, but work had been real busy, so not a bad thing really! Recent purchase No1 from Midnight Moses- many thanks to Euan for being a patient man ( again, work getting in the way), and his great hospitality- not to mention a play with his other Hamers! So top bloke all round really! Cheers Euan……. ( oh, and a mention to 'ghamerinfrance' for listing the PSA) Here she is- 99 Standard with Bare Knuckle Mules….. Top, top guitar- sounds great- mellow p/up's for me, but I'm loving it…..the mellow end of my Standards. Now, I'll start another post about this one- I think the Ebay ad was a load of rubbish- but the guitar ain't……..this is the wilder side of my Standards!!! Yes, yes- that's EMG's- the first guitar I've had with EMG's - loving that too…….although my bank balance is not so happy.. Generally just loving the Starndards………at last, I get to post in the Standard Appreciation post…... Life is good………. Cheers Dave
tomteriffic Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Noyce! Noyce! Well done, it probably goes without saying that I think the blueburst is the bee's pajamas. Or cat's knees, I forget which.
mrjamiam Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Double dose of goodness! Congratulations and enjoy!
Tortious Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Now, I'll start another post about this one- I think the Ebay ad was a load of rubbish- but the guitar ain't……What about the ad was rubbish?Nice effin guitars. Beautiful.
marcnorth Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Nice pair! How many years apart? I notice two different headstock shapes.
psc3251 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Hi GuysThanks for the kid words- I'm really happy with them….Well, the Blue one was an Ebay purchase, but I think there was more incorrect with the ebay description, than there was correct! I'm trying to stay polite here…..so I'll start a new thread and see if anyone on the board here can help.Seller listed it as 07- but serial starts with 05……..said he imported it into the UK from US himself, if so then there's one exactly the same in a music shop in the south of England that I had been watching- stuff like that!I think the blue is 05, burst is 99……….CheersDave
marcnorth Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Serial # starting with 05 would be a 2000 model. Only the first number represents the year. 1990-1999/ 0 24193 - 9 50155 2000-Present 0 50156 - ......
LordOfTheThighs Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 2 Standards ??!!You're doing it RIGHT !Congrats on a great looking pair.
psc3251 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Thanks Guys!Thanks marcnorth- that would make perfect sense as they feel EXACTLY the same guitar. Same neck and feel…..So they're a 99 and a 2000- that's even better as my Sunbursts are consecutive years……a pattern forming here!I'll post the stuff about the blue one on another thread, see if I can get more info.CheersDave
DBraz Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Dave, 2 beauties right there!The Blue one, in particular, is drop dead gorgeous. Man oh man that is a poster guitar. I have never owned a Standard...P.S. Still got the LP?
psc3251 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Hi David,Sorry man, had to sell the LP to help pay for the Standard madness! Great guitar, but I just wasn't giving it the attention it deserved.Went to a great guy in Wales who is using it in his band supporting Status Quo this summer.I feel I only need one more guitar now- a US Cali !!!CheersDave
gorch Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Double dose of goodness! Congratulations and enjoy!Exactly!
tommy p Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I'd tell you the only thing better than getting a new Standard is getting two new Standards, but I see you already know that. Congrats!
HAMERMAN Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Looks like two awesome axes! I too find the Blue one extra cool.The picture of the 99 has a shadow that made me do a double take because it looked like tip of the headstock was missing. :-)
Steve Haynie Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Ooohhh... We usually complain when someone talks about a double standard. In this case double Standards are a good thing!
