I re-read your post and realize that yours is a neck-though.... definitely NOT a Masterpiece & absolutely a good score at $400
Thats what I dont understand, this color looks like dragons blood, its not burst like the ones I have seen.
Its the same color maybe a hint darker than the guitar you have here on the right I thought it was called dragons blood but Im probably worng.
Ill get a pic up here I left and forgot all about taking one.
Its got an ebony board, cloud inlays, 22 frets, arched quilt maple top, mahogany body, neck through (masterpiece is bolt on) and pick ups are rockfield swv, tone pros tune o matic and stop bar.....Has the Special x cover as well.
Im not sure where this color came from I didnt think it was offered in the special x thats got me stumped.
But what I can say is this, I realy realy like the sound of this one.
The cleans are so nice and yet it gets dirty when driven.
This lesser guitar atleast I thought it was a lesser guitar sounds better than my prestige to me and thats something I realy didnt see happening.
Its suppose to be a special x but the color isnt special x , anyone ever seen that happen ? serial number is 64109967 if that helps identify it.
