One of the few guitars that looks good with gold hardware.

Gold on natural is like Black on Black.

20 years already >_<

Yeah, I like it but I have yet to see the point in that Steven's cutaway on a 22 fret guitar when an AANJ-style would do. Ah well....

sorry but at the moment "gold hardware" = well let's say "a man rather in touch with his feminine side" (to remain PC)

to my mind of course!!

Nothing like an open-minded perspective eh?

It's funny, the only things I like gold hardware on are black and flamed koa... I absolutely hate it on anything else

Yeah the koa top on that is nice but the birdseye maple neck seems to be a bit lacking in birdseye

I kinda feel the same way, but I also like it on few other finishes, mainly dark shades of blue or green

Back around 92-93, I had the standard bolt-on version of the N4 with the Kahler Floyd Licenced, and it was one of the most comfortable 22 fret neck guitars I'd ever owned. I had no problem getting all the way up there so I didn't find any need for the steven's cutaway. The only thing that I really didn't like about the guitar was the location of the p/u toggle. I prefer it back on the other side of the volume pot.

Other than that, it was an awesome guitar, great tone, very balanced, & simple; a volume, a toggle and the truth.

^^ That snakeskin one above is pretty bad ass.. but i just prefer the "natural" look on these guitars, like the Padauk model or the "Timeless Maple" model

 

[ShadyDavey]

That snakeskin version was also £3800 and sold within 3 days of the video being shown...

To be fair Chapper's said it was incredibly effortless to play but man....thats SERIOUS cash....

Same here. Gold hardware ftw though.
