Default (G)AS73t!!!

See what I did there? Today I GASsed on a beautiful Ibanez AS73t!!

I played a hardtail version on the weekend but the only problem was no tremolo, but then I found one in North London so I left work early today, made the epic journey to High Barnet and bought it!

Unfortunately it was pouring rain when I left so I elected to have it couriered (free of charge). That said, as soon as I got on the train 15 minutes later the sun came out!

So I've no real photos yet other than this:

Its finished better than guitars I've seen at double the price. The paintjob is absolutely perfect and the binding is superb. The finish on the rosewood 'board is a little uninspiring but I'm sure a little lemon oil and whatnot will sort that.

Looks aside, it plays great. And at the price I've got change left over for the fuzz-wah I've been dreaming about for months

Hmmm, can anyone suggest a cheapish hard case that might fit my new baby? I'm thinking a gig-bag won't be enough with the massive trem on top...

Good man. There's no looking back once you discover the magic of the hollow electric.
