I posted this over at TB and figured I'd share with the crew here...
I called Tim @ Callowhill on Friday to talk about his Junk series since I've been gassin' for one lately, and it turns out that my timing was perfect. I mentioned that I'd be selling my Roscoe 6'er and was looking to get my hands on a Junk, but was hoping that there would be a J5 in stock so I wouldn't have to mess with any loaner axe. It turns out that he actually has a 6-string Junk prototype that is almost ready... the only thing that it needs is a custom hipshot bridge which is a couple of weeks out. He had a dealer that was getting ready to post it as a coming soon item", but he was willing to give me first stab at it.
He sent me the pics, and I knew right away that I had to have it so I called dibs on it immediately. Since my Roscoe has a buyer and we'll be completing the sale this week, that will seal the deal and this baby will be coming my way as soon as the bridge is ready!
And because we all know the rules... here are the pics!
When he told me it was a natural finish, was tempted to have him refinish it to the burst like Tone Whitfield has on his J or put a pickguard on it because that's what got my GAS going at first. But man, when I saw these pics... that natural finish just sings all by itself so I'm not gonna mess with it.
I can't wait to get it in my hands!
Specs... figured ash body, pau ferro FB, maple neck, Nordstrand Big Split p/u's, Aggie OBP-3 pre w/ VTC.
