Chandler Metro

great multi purpose guitar - sounds like a fat fender (not the crappy lace sensor fenders that have NO BALLS) - my bad boy has a P-90 and a humbuck. that does the job. even if i wanted to croon with some nice jazzy lick (which i do not do) i could do, if i wanted to.

bottom line - great tone with this slick rick - (although the P-90 seems to want to sing or scream even if you don't want it to - damn it's loud).

most beautiful guitar i have ever owned -
action is very quick
fit - very very nice

haven't had it for too long but my humbuck was giving me some problems - i could not get 1/2 the volume on it yesterday until i gave it a little toggle and shake - now it seems to be fine.

i have been playing for 11 years - gigging for 8.
the most beautiful axe i have ever seen - old cadillac mint green with pearl inlay.

great pickups - fantastic tone.

NOW I HAVE A GREAT FENDER AND A GIBSON ALL IN ONE

ps. some shredder was playing his Gibson custom through a marshall stack at the store, so i asked him to plug in my chandler - GUESS WHAT, THE CHANDLER SOUNDED BETTER AND THEN I BOUGHT IT - ITS A GUITAR I WILL NEVER NEVER SELL.

gold sparkle finish (has red, blue, purple flecks too!)
MOTO body binding and black back
USA
jumbo frets
2 P-90s (Stock?, Special?)
I believe Chandler pups are hand wound by Adrian Chandler
satin finish heavy birdseye maple neck with r/w fingerboard
non trem wilkinson bridge, string thru body
shorter scale neck vs Fender
tuners are slot head Fender vintage style (original?)

P-90s are great for blues, especially the neck position
use a matchless Lightning
pups are a little harsh, may buy Frain replacements

bought it used
neck dots show ragged edges (not perfect circles)
set up is great
intonation is dead on
finish is PIMP! Buck Owens MAN!

TBD
Predict no problems

want a different material pickguard
have gotten one email response so far from Paul Chandler hisself.
more TBD

this guit is good for tele/strat players.
other than neck shape and scale length, you'll feel right at home

love it for the sparkle finish, the P-90s, and the Strat/Tele hybrid
feel.

U.S.A. made, 22 fret, Mahoganey body, Quilted Maple top (Green), Birdseye maple neck. A Strat style body with a Tele style set up. A P-90 in the neck pos and a Bucker in the bridge, Both are Duncans. Wilkinson bridge. Bridge pickup is tapped for single coil thru a pull switch on the tone pot. Grover tuners, neck is Halfway between a Baseball bat and a Ibanez thin line. Just the way I like them! Hard case included.

I play Slide and this is a monster slide guitar! Has all the pickup options you could want! Single coil, P-90 and humbucker! It has the typical hum in the single coil position. I can get SRV, Billy Gibbons, Ry Cooder, Hendrix, Etc... just by flipping the pickup selector or pulling the coil tap. I can get Tele, Strat, Les Paul, even a jazzy hollowbody sound If I use the tone and volume just right! NO DISLIKES!!!! I am using this with a Line 6 Flextone and a Dr.Z Carmen Ghia. Sounds great thru both!

I had to adjust the action to play slide. But when i first tried it at the store it was perfect for rock and blues, very fast action, intonation was perfect. Pickups were good right from the start. A few dings in two spots but I'll explain that later, everything else was top notch.

Everything is top of the line on this guitar! I never play without a backup! No matter how good the git is things happen!

Limited lifetime warranty. Nothing broken yet, Have'nt had to deal with them yet.

I walked into the store and started playing slide on a new Peavey with P-90's (SUCKED) and saw this on the wall. The guy behind the counter said I should try it. I took it down and plugged it into a Peavey Classic 30(Killer Amp!) Could not get a bad sound or tone out of it! I tried for two hours, It was like it was made for me. It compliments my style of play very well and has made me a better player. I had never seen or heard one before and found 0ut later that Joe Perry of Aerosmith uses one quite a bit. Now I asked the guy "How Much?" he said 2200$ and I started to hand it back with a broken heart, He said, You are the first person in two years to play that. I have never played it myself and have dinged it up moving it around. I want it gone, tired of looking at it. Give me a hundred over cost and it's your's. 800.00$ I threw a Credit card at him and knew I would have to beg forgivness from the wife later (she was'nt even pissed) and ran out of the store. If it were lost or stolen I could'nt afford to replace it, which would break my heart. I will probably add a Hipshot Triolgy bridge to it later so I can get many more tunings at my fingertips, other than that this is one hell of a guitar! i think I found the "ONE"!!!!!! Chandler company, If you guys read these, contact me! I want to be an endorser!!!!!! Sarge 8-{~
