Qvart said:Now, is it okay with y'all if I tune it up and plug it in? :lol:
Oh, I suppose. Thanks for the photos. You should call this one No. 1, not because it's your No. 1 guitar, but because you're the first on the Owners Roster to own one.Qvart said:Now, is it okay with y'all if I tune it up and plug it in? :lol:

Since I am a bit obsessed with TRCs...Did you notice that Gibson like TRC on the instruction letter? :roll:

First impression: pickups are decent. Haven't tried the clean channel yet. Decent tone variation between the three pickup settings. Neck is smooth and thicker higher up than the vintage ones. More string tension too (because of the bridge), but the strings are loosening up and bending is getting easier than when I first plugged in.
Analysis: So far it strikes me as better than the DeArmonds and from what I remember it's along the lines of the '90's S-100's. But I need to give it more playing time. :lol:

Yes Hammer, the later ones. Don't worry, no S-100 will challenge your early reissues. :lol:
My first thought is it's a little thinner towards the nut and about the same thickness further up the neck, but I'd have to measure it out. Haven't had a '90's reissue in my hands in a long time.
Seems to be solidly built and everything was finished pretty well. One thing I've noticed on more cheaply produced guitars is the frets aren't always finished well. The DeArmond S-73 I had for awhile, for example, had pretty sharp ends on the frets. The frets on this Newark St seem to be pretty good, but I did notice a couple spots with a little buzz.
Another pic, for the helluva it:
