Right now? LOL - they've been hit or miss for 30+ years in my experience. Really sucks this happened. Good on the dealer for taking care of you. Hope they get it right.

It's my least favorite fretboard wood based strictly on feel. The best explanation that I heard over the years was that compared to Maple and Ebony, Rosewood is softer. As such, the vibration of the strings doesn't reflect or "bounce off" the board like it does on the harder woods. Rather that...

Watched a good chunk of that video... holy crap! :lame:

It'd be one thing if Jeff was just a swell guy and all the blasting of him simply stemmed from customers that were upset about something that went wrong with their build. Nearly all of it seems to stem from the customer service (lack thereof) his company provides when there is an issue.

Bump - open to reasonable offers. Still no trades! Thanks

Bump :hbang:

:yesway: Always wondered why the KV2T had to be such a departure from the KV2 when the other "T" models (KE1T, RR1T) were basically the same as their Floyd counterparts with a tuneomatic bridge.

Nobody has proof. But if you're going by what artists have said here and there regarding most of these types of endorsement deals, I would say it's a pretty safe assumption that the payout isn't anywhere near what people think it is. In many cases it's simply free or heavily discounted gear...

Looks like a CS arch top soloist.

And are you sure that Gibson/Fender are paying huge pay outs to their top artists? I think the point is, when you're talking "top artists", most of them are with the companies they're with because that's exactly where they WANT to be. Most would be using the products regardless of the...

Assuming he was looking at it from a business perspective and paying attention, common sense would lead one to believe that voluntarily leaving Fender and going to PRS to create a limited edition $10,000 signature model wouldn't be the smartest business decision.

LOL - maybe so. But I mean, it's all subjective, right? You don't see a whole lot of people around places like this saying that Carlos Santana makes them wanna go out and spend $9000 on a PRS either. But, given how long that signature model has been around, I am guessing they move 'em.

I think guitarists tend to kind of live in a bubble. Especially online lol. There's a great bit of stuff you see about guys like Tosin Abasi, John Petrucci, Mark Tremonti, Mark Holcomb, Steve Vai, etc etc etc. All great players, all influential, and all surely inspiring people to purchase the...

I can't say for certain, but I would doubt that in the context of musical instrument endorsement deals that the figures would be that high.

Something tells me Mayer doesn't need the help generated from an income stream via a signature guitar... :lol:

Having owned both... IMO, nope.

:yesway: What I have a hard time wrapping my head around is that it's not like Carvin/Kiesel is new to the internet. People are going to post stuff online, some of which is going to make you not look so hot. You'd think they'd be aware that you simply can't control that. Having employees...
