Trying to Identify Instrument

https://imgur.com/a/VicQPC7

So, according to what I've found on Reverb, it's a Maestro BL52, made in Korea. I really can't find any information other than that. And it's frustrating me. I own one (mine's black). Plays really well, sounds even better. I'd like to know as much as I can about it. Kind of a habit of mine with my gear.

So if anyone knows anything, I'd be grateful if you could let me know.

Well Maestro is Gibson's equivalent to Sterling by Ernie Ball Musicman's "Sub" series. It also looks like a pickaxe. That is all I know.

It's actually a Triryche. Queensryche's logo/symbol. And I know Gibson's Maestro series, and their quality isn't quite up to the par that this one is (I have one of their acoustics, it's... literally the worst instrument I've ever played).

That said, that doesn't mean it's not the same company, could just be they actually gave a damn about that series. I dunno. I will say, it's a damn fine playing fretless, and it has a pretty decent sound to it. Trying to find out more about it mostly so I can add it on here to my gear, or see if it's already got a page on here.

I suspect it was meant to be used as an upright bass by dwarves?

in a pinch you could swing it by the neck to bash in some orc skulls

Well, in liue of/for want of any clarification, I suppose we'll go with it's a Maestro Fretless.

And aye, it'd make one heck of a bludgeon!

as it turn out Gimli plays a fender :(

I mean, I do too, so...

Course, I also have a GTX 300, a Rogue, and the one we've yet to firmly identify. I guess I'm'a chock it down as a Maestro Fretless 4 String. I'd wager if the one in the picture up there is the BL52, the one I've got is likely the BK52, on account of it being black while that'n's blue. But I'll not press that luck.

Dang I wish I could find more info on it. It's like trying to find info on the Aria AD-75. I KNOW they exist, because I've got one not 2.5 meters away from me. But you go to the Googles, and it's just not there!

despite my best efforts I can't seem to derail you... I think this finally proves that google doesn't know everything though and that makes me feel better. See iw as watching westworld earlier and it left me feeling really uneasy about my devices and their feelings about me.

A mod trying to derail a topic. For shame, sir! :D

And aye, there was a day my spouse was talking about needing one of those earwax kits from the store, and I not you kid, within 10 minutes, my phone was showing ads for 'em. Creepy, ja?

we're punk rockers here, so not even the mods should follow a code of conduct.... not even the pirate code, which is apparently more of a guideline anyway

Huge fan of the Ramones, Sex Pistols, and the Clash.

Speaking of the Sex Pistols, my best mate's mum beat the shit out of Sid Vicious for stealing her beer. No joke--she laid him out FLAT over that. Don't faff about with a lass' libation, lible to lose yer life! (Avoid alliteration always)
