Only to find a broken truss rod. Wtf. How does someone break a truss rod?
 
NGD!!!!

So Woody's NGD got me thinking about a Vox SDC. I had played one when I got my Tube Driver amp and liked it quite a bit. There was a SDC-33 at a local MGR in Black Burst that I have seen many times and the color always caught my eye. They got a bunch of Vox guitars almost a year ago as new old stock and they just didn't sell. I think they had this one originally priced $549. A few weeks ago they marked it down to $449. I still couldn't justify the price when I have a good group of guitars and don't really need it. Well yesterday they marked all the Vox guitars down again and priced this one at $249. At that price I had to check it out again. To make it better I had a MGR rewards card that apparently had $30 in credit on it so I picked up a new Vox SDC-33 for $219.

What a great guitar. I've been playing it for the last hour and it plays great and is light as hell. Really comfortable.

And the body. You can kind of see the flame in my crappy iPhone pic.

:cool: on both of ya's!
 
Got this from my all time favorite bassist today, Mic Todd. He used to play in Coheed until that whole 'issue' came up..

I just noticed the online prices for both the VOX sdc22 and SDC33 has gone back up. $550 for the SDC33 now.
 
It sounds like it would be a good time to sell it and keep the profit, Woody.

How have you been? I haven't seen you here in a few days.
 
Just got the graduation pic for kid #2. It's hard for me to believe that both of my little babies will have graduated college in five weeks. Does that mean I'm old?!?!

BS, she's a beautiful young woman. Yes, it means that you are officially old. I know I felt that way when my nieces graduated college. I raised two of them as my own.
 
woke up this morning to a slashed driver side tire on both mine and my wife's vehicles... WTF, REALLY??? fucking douche canoes:mad:

I fucking hate that. I've had my old Toyota trucked keyed for no good reason and the driver side mirror on my Suburban smashed over night a few years ago in front of our old house. People suck.
 
That sucks D-man..... Tire mojo.

I spent some more time with the Vox this morning and wow is it a nice guitar. I almost want to find a SDC-55 now. The pickups can go from brutal metal to jazzy clean with a flick of the switch and the thing is lighter than my Strats. I was a little worried about how it would balance on a strap but it feels good. I'm still in the honeymoon phase but right now I'm completely blown away.
 
DMAN - sorry to hear that.

Saturn - I think the Sdc55 has the same pup's. But I'm thinking the timing was good on getting one. I stewed a long time before I pulled the trigger.

BS - beautiful girl.
