I've had my Historic for a decade but for some reason I was really jonesing for a simple Studio. I used to have one when I was a teenager back in the 80s.
So, on impulse, I pulled the trigger for one of those "husks" that STRATOsphere sells on eBay and Reverb where it's just the neck and body, no hardware or electronics. $699. Not a bad deal!
It arrived a couple of weeks ago, Smokehouse Sunburst. Beautiful instrument. I put some '61 Burstbuckers and Grover Rotomatics and it's a great little guitar! It's weight-relieved so it's nice and light. I appreciate this at my age. Very resonant as well.
Some people knock Studios because they don't have binding. I love mine! I could buy these "husks" from STRATOsphere all day long!
