Members Malcolm Ramone Posted March 8, 2011 Members Share Posted March 8, 2011 I GASsed over these Italia guitars, but only saw new ones listed for $549 and up. Then one day, this popped up for $399, free shipping, plus a Guitar Research soft case! Could not resist the GAS!!! The Wilkinson pups are pretty hot, I'm really digging the neck pup. Set my gain at 1 1/2, just enough grit. I can also nail the guitar tone from Wire's Pink Flag in that zone. They do squeal if the gain is over 5, but plenty crunchy goodness! The trem is real simple, just a round bar that turns. Works well! I'm mighty pleased with it for the $. It was all gravy, except it arrived right as another auction was ending. I was working, but asked my wife to throw a bid on a natural fin Electromatic DC jet; almost a Malcolm Young. Oh well, maybe another time! -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members undergod12 Posted March 8, 2011 Members Share Posted March 8, 2011 Was worried you'd bought a Firebird-X by your title. Much better choice. HNGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hardtdc Posted March 8, 2011 Members Share Posted March 8, 2011 That's definitely one of their coolest models. I almost bought a Rimini but they changed from P-90s to mini-buckers on the new models and at the time I was looking into them and I really wanted a P-90 guitar then.

Yes! The whole back of the guitar is pearly, including the body-shaped trem spring cover! Was playing along to Beatles For Sale today, does the clean jangly well too! Now, if I could find a deal like that on a Schecter Ultra III! -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
