I know, I know, its a crime.
I'm a Bonamassa fan myself.
I just wanted to do it to a distressed goldtop, a relatively good one.

I know, its a crime!

I want to do it on a distressed GT, (one with some good quality).
If you have any alternatives (around the same value), be my guest to post.
That's why I opened the thread.

I heard some nasty stuff about the V100s fret wire, how are they these days?
Sorry for Double-Post

Don't know about longevity - I've only had my V100 for a week, but I can tell you the frets are nicely finished - no sharp edges at all. Could be because my skin's harder than the fretwire...... but I doubt it. It seems a very solid, well-built LP type guitar, beautifully playable and with extremely good tone - plenty of PAF warmth, clarity and growl when needed.
