I don't notice any difference in the tone at all and no noticeable difference in sustain with it locked either. But I do not have that super hearing thing either like other people.

2012 SE Custom 24
Looks terrific! ( I do have the exact same guitar after allOriginally Posted by lgk1208
OK, So finally got around to taking some crappy shot of my SE CU24. I love it. It came perfect. Absolutely no flaws anywhere. 1st time posting from Picasa, I hope it works. I put US amber lampshades on cause I like the look better and I installed a Tremol-No. I have had absolutely no issues with anything. I also put EB Cobalt 10's so I had to take a little sandpaper to the nut.(but only to the wound string slots.) No tuning issues, but I would like to put locking tuners on at some point just to make string changes a little easier. Thanks for listening
) I'm waiting for a pair of black lampshade knobs to replace the stock ones. I find them a little too easy to turn and I think the smaller lampshades will help with that, but the black will look good in any case. I may go for a set of locking tuners at some point, but it will be for string changing convenience - the turning is already very stable.
Maybe it needs to be louder?
Hey guys, I've been browsing the site for a while, but this is my first post. Here's my two Tremontis and the rest of the family. Stay tuned, because I just ordered 3 more SEs, (singlecut, custom 22, and a custom 24.) The SE custom 24 was damaged during shipping, but I picked it up for $200 on the bay and I'm going to refinish it.

BANGIN. Really nice figure on that one, and the burst is perfect too. Seems like every quilt SE I see has a nicely figured top.Like a hole in the head...look what followed me home today...apparently a GC exclusive Vintage Burst Quilt on the SE Santana, my favorite SE:
I've been avoiding GC since I heard about this run, don't want to get caught up in the snare of the quilt... it's happened to me a time or two before...
They do have a funny way of following one home, no? Anyways, great score Carl. Loving that top, the depth and color make it look like a burning fire! Any mod plans?
If anyone else is wondering, it looks like they also have the SE245 in a red/orange quilt and the CU24 in dark cherry quilt on the website. That's as close as I can afford to get to them for now!

My local GC had the 245 in the orange quilt. Very, very cool looking, although maybe because it's such a LP-type outline that I like that guitar better with a more standard burst, or plain top.
Never seen the 24 in the dark cherry, or the grey black for that matter, in person. GC has the 24 in a vintage burst, same color as my new Santana, but it's flame, not quilt, and it was nice but didn't grab me like this one did. No mods planned...yet...
