binky_bass Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Did the deal on this little beauty and with the help of @adamg67 it should be in hand Saturday morning! One can have too many of many things but one can never have too many ACGs! Edited December 7, 2021 by binky_bass 9 Quote

Hellzero Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 I think it's a Harlot, not a Halot, Russ... https://www.acguitars.co.uk/harlot/ 1 Quote

BassApprentice Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 Nice! Think it's this one for those looking for more info on https://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0027-harlot-6/ 1 Quote
LeftyJ Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 Probably my least favourite ACG body shape, but it does look beautifully made and I love the woods! Interesting pickup placement too, very widely spaced with a big humbucker close to the neck. Quote

binky_bass Posted December 11, 2021 Author Posted December 11, 2021 Tis now in hand and after a MUCH needed set up, it plays beautifully! 1 Quote
eude Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Gorgeous! How's it sound? I recall the extreme pickup locations made some really cool tones. Eude Quote

Eude Not actually plugged it in yet! It badly needed a set up, the action was quite high and the B string was too thick to sit in the bridge saddle correctly, but after a few passes with a round needle file it now sits perfectly, and after a few quarter turns of the truss rod and a lowering of the bridge saddles the action over the zero radius fret board is perfect! The hipshot bridge that came with it when it was made can't really go back on as the new mono-rails (also Hipshot!) have new screw holes that'll show if the hipshot goes back on. No worries though as the mono-rails are very good quality. Replaced the Schaller strap pins for Dunlop ones so all my straps now fit! The balance is great and the condition is 9/10, just one minor zing behind the tip of the lower horn. All in, very happy! Edited December 11, 2021 by binky_bass 1 Quote
