Yeah, I like them because they're... er, different :ninja: They're all japan exclusives apparently. You could PROBABLY get the same thing in the US, but it would probably be through the custom shop and cost $5000 more...and have a relic'd finish by default

 

Always liked this one. Enough to refinish a standard one and mod it up to be similar

needs filtertrons though

 

Yeh only ever played one custom shop strat, it was this ice blue (I think) heavy relic, sounded great, played brilliant and looked awesome :awesome: ...although the price tag was a little stupid, plus the shop seemed really awkward and the guy in the shop must of thought I was going to do a hendrix and smash it up in front of him because he only let me play for what seemed like a minute :LOL:

 

Awesome have you still got the tele?

I've only really played CS teles - they were nice guitars, very well built and sounded great, but didn't seem like anything particularly special. just a glorified US fender I guess. Although I've mainly played the non relic'd ones like the custom classic or whatever it was called, which are in the $2000 range

 

and yeah I do - it's a pretty cool guitar. was expecting it to sound a little like the gretsch I had (see below :awesome: ) but it doesn't at all

Didn't Chris from Soundgarden have one of those?

chedda as a bassist, have you ever had a go of a ritter? Are they as awesome as they seem or are they all hype? They also seem to be more geared towards things like jazz.

 

No, I'd love to try one but never seen one. I guess i'd need to go to London, which is something I try to avoid

 

-cccckkkkk uuuuggggglllllyyyyy ;)

 

:eek:

It's in the mail post

 

Whoa, shopping at DAG? That's very TGP of you :pope:

 

Regardless, I've almost bought one of those a couple of times...it's so tempting... :facepalm:

 

Not really, as I considered buying something from there a few times. I don't really understand the website though.

 

What stopped you? did a tornado upset your barn? :pope:

Nah, just a lot of money...I could buy an old Guild for that much :eek: Or a host of other things...but I would like a MotorAve a lot.

 

 

Plus I'd get to do business with a guy named Mark Fuqua :awesome: Just... :awesome:

 

old guilds cost that much? they don't even have humbuckers

 

Buy one, I'm sure Mr. Fuqua will make your experience unforgettable

 

Much like this
