It's mine!!!! All mine!!!!!
I now own my FIRST historic!!!

It's mine! all mine!!! a glorious 1957 reissue vos custom black beauty!!!!

Damn! This thing is super classy looking! I haven't spent as much time with it as I'd like to yet, preparing to A/B it with my Skatterbraned-RSed Chambered Standard... But I'm sure it'll be pretty sweet!

I switched the knobs to reflectors... Love this look!

Here's some pics!






I've always wanted a nice custom since young! Now I have it!!!!

Congrats! Its beautiful ! I did the same thing a while back. I had one when I was in my 20's and didn't get a replacement till I was in my 50's..so much $$$ ! I even "dolled it up" to look like my old one.. Nothing classier than a Black custom

That looks great. How much does it weight? The weight has always killed my interest in the Customs.

I don't know about the weight, but I do know it's heavier than my chambered standard *duh* but lighter than my swiss cheesed Slash Goldtop.

Anyways, here it is with my standard!






I was partially worried that the custom would pale in comparison to the looks of the standard, being a burst and all... But nooo... it's actually kinda imposing and intimidating looking!

but that trus-rod cover doesn't look right
the top screw "bulb" is too "bulbous"
you know, there's like a NECK to the top screw-bulb

everythig else looks ok though

Is this guy for real? Total non-sense.

My next guitar is one of those.
