Well some sigs kind of become a norm like the jp. Take the les paul for example. When I think of a sig its a regular guitar with some gimmicks like a new paint job and inlay. like kirk hammett's sigs.
I check out ebay and craigslist daily to see what they have but I have a hard time bringing myself to buy something over the internet. Usually it's because they're asking too much for a banged up guitar and why are they trying to sell it in the first place (something must be wrong with it)...
If I bought a 417 it would just be a matter of time before I sanded the paint and thinned the neck myself so its not a big deal, but in that lays the problem. I believe if we spend somewhere of 700-1000 dollars we should be able to get exactly what we want. Not necessarily a custom hand built...
A FR would be nice, but I had a FR special on my work horse and it broke. Usually when I see a guitar with a FR I say to myself "never again" but if I knew it was one made by schaller or gotoh then ya I'd go for it. Another bad thing about getting a tremelo system with your guitar is that it...
Well I own an agile and I loathe it to the core. It's neck heavy fretwork is horrible, I can complain about it for days, seems like other people had better luck but I really don't want to go down that dark path again. I had looked into the demon but I had set my eyes on the ltd MH-417, it...
When I think of low end its like a comparison of grover tuners to LSR's To a FR special- to a schaller FR nasty electronics with "stock" pickups compared to bkp's You get the picture. These products are very useful when it comes down to cutting price for manufacturers. Then we the...
It's been over a year since I bought my last guitar and I'm dying for a 7. Whenever I go to guitar center, all i see is mass produced overpriced guitars. They're never set up properly, they all have basic low end quality parts and in my opinion they get way too much business. On the other...
jesus nagoya? thats 3 hours on the shinkanssen... I might be wrong but i think thats where Ibanez is made as well, but dude you gotta realize even if they come back the company wont be the same, they'll start using cheaper building methods to cut cost so the company doesnt falter again.
gentlemen, there is no rule that says a cheap guitar can't be a great guitar, I myself own a Ibby prestige with bkps sounds great but.... My favorite guitar is my bottom shelf grassroots that i traded my broken S series for, I've played caps, and compared to my POS they dont compare. My...
if i may give my two cents... Don't get one, Its true they are nice but chances are if you can afford a cap you can just go all out and get a custom. Personally i don't like guitars over the 500$ mark because its hard recovering from having your life savings break or get stolen.
I personally am not a fan of any graphics or paints, but hey man its your guitar. I wouldn't put paint on the fret board instead try to find a decal graphic you like as for sealant... I'm not to sure.... I'd say they clear kind hehe. Nice design though wish i could have been more help to you.
