Just wanted to say hello! I have an 01SB and two City Limits. Looking forward to spending some time here.

Very cool, Jay - welcome aboard!

This is a pretty new community, as you may imagine - so, the more the merrier!

Howdy, Neighbor! Nice pictures. I doubt they were taken in Dallas as they appear to contain sunshine and we haven't seen the sun here in I don't remember how long!

Stuck in Folsom Prison? (I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.....)

Must be a Texas thing. I'm down in Houston with a Rosewood CW, a D1, and an MT. Incidentally, when I first started reading the posts here a couple of years ago, I couldn't figure out how anyone could afford even one of these things.

Thanks for the gorgeous pix, Jay! Can you share your thoughts on the tones of these two CLs? Any tonal and feel differences (or other besides cosmetic) between the DeLuxe and the regular? I liked your video. Is the regular the one you play "out"? Any thoughts about scratching the finish with a pick?

They both sound great, but the concensus from people that have heard both is that the amberburst has a little sumpin' extra. I did switch out the bridge Lollar for a Voodoo '59 in that one, but there isn't enough of a change to make me think that is the difference. At first I wasn't sure about the Lollars, but I'm coming around on them. The main thing that is keeping me from swapping all the pups out is I don't want to mess up the amazing wiring job inside.

Feel wise, they are pretty comparable. I play both out, it's just that the amber has a piezo so it gets used in sets where I need acoustic sounds.

Weird that you mention the pick scratches. They are all over the place on both. From the very first gig too. Have never seen that before. Must be a really thin coat of clear on these. BTW, they don't hand buff out either.
