[cfgsteak]

Are you ignoring my imported snorkel suggestions?

No sir! I like 'em. I have played several though and I'm just not sure how much I like the necks. They are definately on my short list though. I really like the korina one.

Whats wrong with a strat? As far as im concerned, the strat body is as comfortable as a guitar gets.

I'd prolly get a MIM fat strat if it was me.

All of the bands he is talking about use mahogany bodied guitars which contributes to a darker beefier sound. They don't make mahogany Strats.


**waits for Howie to disagree and then post pictures of a custom made $8k mahogany Strat**

I likey Explorers.

Phil, I'm just not a strat guy. No real reason, just personal preference.

A quick google confirms they did make them but wouldn't that shape be a pain to play sitting down too?

i can get with everything except the 3 single coils. which is why i mentioned replacing them.

if i were buying an HH guitar for $500, i'd seriously consider a used Reverend Roundhouse HB. i don't like the HH teles because they come with the oversized pickups that sound terrible. i'd also consider Ibanez, PRS SE, and and LTD.

I dont think so, why do you think it would be? The huge back wing might get in the way of my arm? Crap, I obviously need to go play one.

 

[Punchy]

$250 @ chrisguitars. . .

Or there's this one for $499

 

[Sad Navigator]

It's a little bit more than the $500 mark, but used...

 

[fanuvbrak]

Would you take $175 for it?

As long as you send me a cashier's check for $1235 and give me the chance to refund the extra money to you.

Thats great, no joke, i was looking at that exact guitar about an hour ago. hahahahaha. I want one bad.

You should, it's a different type of feel from most guitars.

I would lean more towards spending $600 for a faded Gibson then spend less on stuff like the Xavier. I am scarred by my experiences with SX and Squire guitars I think.

Actually if I needed another guitar (I don't) $500 shipped with a case is a good deal and you'd probably be shipping it to Chicago.

Thanks.

 

[Dew Knot Hump]

Thanks.

Firebirds too, it seems like the bridge and the pickups are too far forward.

 

[Kerouac]

An SG Faded would be sweet. I've looked at the Worn Brown ones a couple of times.

They're easy to play sitting down, & the back wing does not get in the way. The shape is great for the picking hand, nothing to get in the way, drop your palm on the strings & chugga chugga. Be warned, you'll keep slinging it lower & lower, they get better the lower you wear them.
