Chris Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I tried a Brook Taw OM acoustic in Celtic Chords at the weekend. It was lovely. Really, really fucking nice. Also tried an Atkins but didn't like the neck as much as the Brook. Shame I don't have two grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 It's by a long shot the nicest guitar I've ever touched. I've got it into my head that I want to save some cash and buy a really nice acoustic, the kind you'd settle down with and forsake all others. The Brook is a contender.

Old Gold Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I've got mad GAS for a Gibson Flying V. Am I broken? To infinity and beyond baby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Undecided on finish, but I fancy an ESP Eclipse of sorts. I prefer the ESP necks to the multitude of Gibsons I've played (and owned) so will have to give one a bash. ALL THE OPTIONS (that is my 'shortlist').

Moon Moon Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I like the look of the Ibanez and don't mind that green bass but that "thing" on the end is hideous ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprinted Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks, but considering your idea of good taste is to fuck a guitar within an inch of its life I'll take that as a compliment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I've got uncharacteristic GAS for this built-for-speed motherfucker: Shame I can't shred in the slightest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Looks slick. Though, for a shred-machine, it seems to be missing a Floyd Rose. How on earth will you divebomb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Looks slick. Though, for a shred-machine, it seems to be missing a Floyd Rose. How on earth will you divebomb? you would buy a so cal model for that. I've been put off by floyd rose trems recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Roses don't bomb enough for me. I'm going to gently steam the neck and just bend that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think I want one too. Hard to find fast and modern, but stripped down, ergonomics with old-school woods. I'd probably change the pick-ups though. Its a Charvel San Dimas Style 1, HS HT (humbucker-single, hardtail; there are others with trems and more pups); I had to do a bit of googling.

Yeah, I like the old-school curves. The So Cal is a bit too pointy and dangerous looking to my tastes. It's weird that the HS HT San Dimas is the only one that you can get with a rosewood fretboard. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of a maple board on most things, but the Charvel ones are a sort of off-white and look a bit pish.

Old Gold Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I reckon Superstrats are due to come into vogue. The mathy widdlers and the hipster black metal folks are going to start pie-ing their Telecasters and go all EVH, mark my words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibanez are now releasing an incredible amount of mid-high end fixed bridge guitars although obviously most are basswood (although there are a lot of nice fixed bridge S models too now) and Jackson have some nice new dinky hardtails (not tuneomatics!). I'm a huge fan of purple and this is dreamy bar the hockey stick headstock. It does become harder if you want HS hardtails specifically though. I'd maybe just go custom for that, worked for me!

scottyboy Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Must be solid alder, maple/rosewood neck. Had a quick look at the Ibanez S stuff, and yeah, lack of just a neck single coil puts me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I think the San Dimas might be a goer... I'll definitely have to tearfully bid goodbye to a couple of things though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Forgot to mention the no. of frets as well: I'm just about used to 24 now but think I'd prefer to go back to 22. Another thing that's hard to find on "fast" guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
