It's an '07 Gloss with Throbak SLE-101 Ltd's, Luxe BB's, RS Super pots for volume and 500k for tone, nickel Grovers and Pyramid Nickel strings. Phew!!

Some light was creeping through the windows so I snapped a few photos.

Does the Pyramid Strings come silk wrapped to rid the vibration from the stoptail?

Had no idea it was silk, but yes they are wrapped in something. No string vibration here.

And thanks!

I used to get them when Gibson was all top of the class with their strings. Haven't tried Pyramid although i've heard/read about them a while back.

Been using DR strings. Monster sound that JUMPS right out of your axe btw!
Swear by 'em all the way...later Ernie

Peace!!

Nice flamer! Some of those flames with the points look like mine, but you have many more.
