Slamin V63 !!

Post by zoomduck »

Well when she arrived a couple days ago I was not impressed . Beautiful FG but very dark sounding and the neck is wider than I expected . Tried to lower the horseshoe and got a quick lesson on string contact . Started thinking of pickup replacements , pots , strings . Strings !! Put on a fresh set of GHS B52s and BAM !! There she is !! This 97 V63 hits hard in the chest with a beautiful top end sheen . You guys said I would love it...I Love It !!

A little shoe bending would solve that!
