Yeah, when it was released in the '80's it was one of the cheapest pedals because of its plastic casing but I've heard from a number of people that the SCH-1 is the best chorus pedal and completely worthy of its price. I got the SCH-Z which is a reissue and it lacks a couple of the mods you often find on the SCH-1's now which were added to make it more durable.

I'm still using this one I bought sometime in the late 80's/early 90's.

An absolute classic. Wish I still had mine. A new company now owns that brand and the pedals they're doing aren't as good as the original like what you have.

Sweet. I'm come *this* close to buying a jazz box so many times through the years.

I'm fantasizing about owning an all-ebony Telecaster one day but I've never taken the time to sit down and really experience an ebony fretboard. My buddy insists they are closer in feel to maple than rosewood, which is encouraging because I really don't like the friction / grain of rosewood, but I've never really experienced playing one in the right way. I've noodled around on his Les Paul Custom in the past but was too distracted by the feel and weight of the body to pay attention to the neck.

Opinions on ebony? Especially in comparison to maple and rosewood?

Ebony is closer in feel to maple. But you don't want an all ebony guitar. It's be heavier than a boat anchor and dead as nails from a resonance standpoint.

Interestingly enough that example Telecaster above was a luthier's custom project, says he heavily chambered the body and used a thinner neck to cut the weight down to 8.5 lbs, which is only half a pound heavier than my ash body American Standard. It's fitted with all Fender hardware, vintage style compensated bridge w/ modern pickups, says it sounds fantastic but of course that's up in the air until it passes through your own ears.

All that being said I'm sure there are other body woods that would look equally as striking with the right finish. I'm a huge sucker for matching neck / body color.

That reminds me of that George Harrison Let it be era Tele. I have only had ebony on acoustics but I do love the feel. And a few drops of bore oil rubbed in makes it so shiny and nice.
