Just found the club after snagging a CA Special today on ebay. Thought I might join the fun, this one is worth looking at...

goodness me.....

I've never felt such an urge to take up the guitar. More pictures are required.

Beautiful catch- have fun.

Welcome David,

Great guitar. Interesting in that its hum cancellor is hidden and uses large aperture pickups.

Gorgeous. Wood doesn't get much better than that.

Burl Brasilian Rosewood? I remember seeing a picture of a triple omega at the mothership with similar wood & that's what that was.
That would be my guess. It looks a little too amber to be walnut but I could be wrong.
That's the same shape as my guitar, but even without the series electronics difference I like this one much better.
It's more than worth looking at; as a matter of fact I think everyone is waiting for more pictures; I know I am.

That's got to be some Burl Rosewood - before we put it on 25th Anniversary restriction. I think that's the guitar where we first tried the inlaid logo with shell.

Mica:

What's the story with the pickups which appear to be humcanceller size instead of the stock single coils with a Series instrument (and the apparent lack of a humcanceller)?

Bill, tgo

valvil · « **Reply #11 on:** March 06, 2007, 02:13:34 PM »

My guess would be that those are bass series pickups and the humcanceler is hidden in the body.

Val's right, these are the regular AXY size pickup shells, same as a Series II 4-string bass would get. Same thought as a FatBoy pickup - wider aperture. I'm pretty sure the humcanceller is cast under the bridge pickup in the same shell.

Wow, you guys really keep up with this. I will get to these questions here after putting another picture up.
