Would that make it a "Texas Ranger"?
Seems like a natural name....

That looks absolutely killer!

That's totally cool...on the next one, they ought to slant the bridge pickups like on the Texas Rawhide.

This may sound dumb and Greg may smack me for it, but does having the slanted bridge pickup actually change how the guitar sounds?

You're right, Chollie. Greg IS gonna smack you for that. I got next when he's done.

Yes, it changes the sound, a la the Stratocaster, where the bridge pickup is slanted on the treble side toward the bridge. Just as the pickups closer to the bridge yield more treble, a slanted bridge pickup will yield more treble on the plain strings.

Make sense?

I won't smack you, Chollie. C'mere, lemme give you a hug....

I guess I should chime in here!!! I am really looking forward to getting this guitar...as luck would have it I am gonna be on vacation so I will have to extend my waiting http://robinlovers.com/discus/clipart/sad.gif... If everything works out Greg I will just drive on up to your shop and pick 'er up in person.

By the way the model is "Walters" Texas Ranger...

Kiz you may be on to something, Texas Ranger would be a good name for a H-S-H configuration Ranger SS.

I understand that Leo Fender slanted the bridge pickup on Teles and Strats to warm up the bass strings a bit--all I know is, my Texas Wrangler/Rawhide sounds great with the slant!
How much is that Texas Ranger going for, anyway?

Man... I've never been a fancy top person, but these Robin quilts are so out of this world, that maybe I can get one just to hang on the wall in my living room...

well and play the crap out of it also....
The natural binding just tops it all off...simply beautiful...

Time to chime in...I have had the guitar a couple of weeks now. It is incredible, the bridge humbucker really makes ALL the difference in the world.

I have to say ordering this guitar has been a real experience for me...I got to pick out the wood for the guitar and got it configured the way I wanted it...I do not think I will be able to buy another "off the shelf cookie cutter" guitar again!

Dave and Greg ROCK!!!
