Amazing deal.

If genuine.

It’s that awful color scheme. They better knock the price down a bit more.

Adorama blows out slow-selling stuff from time-to-time. They also blew out the pharaoh gold version last year at a similar price. The deals and the site are legit, but since they do not specialize in musical instruments, don’t expect the white glove treatment.

I have ordered a couple of cheapies from them over the years and never had an issue.

If genuine.

They have 3 in stock in their Reverb store front with a 5 star seller rating and over 9000 sales.

It will match my Fillmore 50.

I dunno, the hues clash.

I actually really like the color scheme! I agree that is probably why it is on sale, as I could see it not being a popular look among the heavier shred crowd, but right up my alley.

It’s what I call a “forever guitar” just like a green PRS.

I do want to try one. I’m wondering if I’d like the neck and fretboard radius.

close enough for my aging eyesight.

 

[Chocol8]

Fuck it, NGD incoming.

It has the wrong bridge in a terrible color. But it’ll play great, with a setup.

Nothing wrong with the bridge but the colour is not great.

Yeah there is.


It’s not a hard tail.

(I was being a smartass initially, should have been more clear)

Ha! I don’t fully disagree with you there, but I already have several hard tail/TOM guitars and exactly zero with a Floyd. I was toying with the idea of building a super strat partscaster, or buying a used one to play around with and mod, but after seeing this for that price, I am thinking it’s a quicker, easier, and probably cheaper way to scratch that itch.

Well, unless I fall in love with the Wolfgang platform and end up with a hard tail version, an MIJ, an MIA, a Peavey, and then an Axis or original MM to round out the collection. That shit could get pretty expensive!

If you ever catch Adorama blowing out the TOM version, post up! I’d love one of those.
