GC had them for a bit. Made in China. Nice guitars basically, but the bridge saddle adjusters were sharp as chisels!Quote:

Your guitar has obviously been modded. They didn’t come with that
pickgaurd afaik. Cool guitars, I tried to buy one myself a few years ago. Don’t see many on the used market around here which I assume means people like them.

Even though the neck is made in China, it still is the perfect shape for me, and resonates like a mother-fucker.
I wouldn’t mind finding a stock pick guard without the bridge plate cutaway, but I really like the pattern.
Nice - the ones you have look pretty flush with the tops of the saddles though which helps a lot. Is the neck shimmed at all?Quote:

I'm in the process of selling 4 guitars with Fender bridges.
I made a rule for myself about a year ago that I'd never pay over $1K for guitars any more. After years and hundreds of guitars, I've come to the conclusion that I sound how I sound, and an extra $2K doesn't help/hurt, so I just buy "budget" guitars these days. I can do a little modding to get the little tweaks I like - tuners, pickups, fretwork, setups, etc. - and still keep the cost down. I'm all digital as far as "amps" and stuff, so I find that they aren't as fussy about tone woods and such...
Meanwhile, here's my humble quiver.

Maybe, for a change, you should give an sg or a les paul a try.
At first i thouht you had much more overlap than you do, not realizing the same guitars were in multiple pictures.
Selling three Teles and a Strat - need any? ;)Quote:

I'm thinking Gibson is really after all the dentist Mags here at TGR. Their pricing has gone from ridiculous to "HUH?!?!?" :confused:
Teles on the block:

Pretty happy with it at the moment. Each has a reason to be. Still looking for a 6 string acoustic since I brought my old Washburn (first guitar 30+ years ago...sentimental value) up to the ski cabin. Looking for the right Martin if I ever come across it. PRS is my son's, small acoustic is my daughter's. Always wanted a Les Paul and like it for certain songs, but the 80's big head Japanese Strat gets the most playing time.

Very nice! The only Strat I've ever liked was my Deluxe Roadhouse Strat with the CBS headstock. Looks so cool...
I don't know, maybe. Do you have anything that maybe has a longer name?Quote:

Like real emotions like an actual human being. eSpecially when all the electronics seem to work and the fretboard is just unoticeably good, so that you forget what a fretboard even is and just play.
I also like soaking frozen mango chunks in my grey goose overnight with some patron citronge and key lime hence typois. I cam stoll play fine but not fype.
LOL…wut??
Whatis that on the right?Quote:

That looks really cool - it's like a Spark in pedal form. I'll bet that's great value for money.Quote:
