Thats a beautiful maple top on that one! I'm not big on that type of green finish, but that does look very nice.

Didn't we see another one in this finish a while back?

Beautiful, but I wonder how the response on the B and G string are. :-\

This was up before from a different seller, we deliberated at the time whether it was indeed 35" as the seller had mistakenly claimed (measuring up to the stringholder). This is a strange beast as it constitutes a mix between a Deluxe (pups and slab body) and a Standard (the Warwick hardware). A couple of five string Standards (with the same bridge, TB Plus chromes and a carved top) also crept out though they were never in the catalog. I like the green. If it featured TB Plus pups I'd be seriously tempted.

The Barts have a wide magnetic field and do fine on B and G string (or on E and C string as I have my LP Deluxe strung for the heck of it). With the TB Plus soaps, the B string is even a little mighty compared to the other strings (I have an LP Special 5 stringer and its B string is nothing short of nuclear). Contrary to what one might think, the whole nineties LP line (whether Special, Deluxe or Standard) made for swell five stringers irrespective of what kind of pups were used, uneven string response was never an issue. I think the LP guitarish look suffers with the wider necks though which made these LPs look stubbier.
