New guitar trip picstory (56k... sure, if your bored)

[thedownside]

so today is the first day of my vacation, and my girlfriend and myself had to postpone a trip because we are both sick... what a better way to feel better? go get a new axe

first things first.... required metal-kittie pics....

yes, he is checking out ss.org

and we're off.... ahh the stairs of doom, it's this x3, try taking these late at night after a few drinks

freedom, and off to the battle-wagon!

ready to pull out of the driveway...

wait, need some appropriate driving tunes for this trip

all business when it comes to new guitars (and acquiring food)

speaking of food, might as well since we're out

i didnt get pics inside the local musicstore, but i did get this

stupdi redlights stopping me from getting home to play with the new toy... atleast this guy in front of us had random stuff in his truck to look at

must get supplies for the day... smokes, redbull and some lotto tickets for the $12 million draw please and thanks

mmmm, time for that yummy food before enjoying the new toy

again with the godin bag, what could be in there.... not a godin

thats better.... a new seven for me. everyone else is getting one of the SC's in one form or another, my turn

and after a fresh setup, strings, straplocks and a new strap, some guitar porn to finish things off

for those of you with these (any model from this one all the way up to the highest end esp version, which way does your switch work, i think mine is in backwards. i have to switch it to the side closest to the neck for the bridge pup... anyone else's like this? mine will be switched this evening....

now, time to play for a few days

Very nice!

Nice

Got all the way to the Godin bag, then realized "Wait...is this guy a Canadian?"

Godin needs to make 7s, btw. I like the feel and sound options of these:

 

[skinhead]

Da shit! I want one of those straps, they are so cool.

Nice

yup the shop threw in a bag they had laying around on top of a discount to make it a better deal, along with some strings. pays to have a good relationship with local shops

i agree, they have that grey single hum one here, and if it was a better color i would be all over it

You bought that from musicstop I'm guessing? I played the exact guitar there a weekend ago, didn't quite like.

How much did the SC-207 set you back? I'd love to get one of those as a nice "beater" guitar, but i really don't have a need for it.

(And yes, i know that "need" doesn't really play into GAS in the least.)

Hm... looking at those pics, i just noticed that the back of the neck is painted black, too. How odd. You'd think it'd be easier for them to just give it a quick spray with a satin sealer, but i guess this makes it more consistent with the rest of the SC line.

The Godin Redline looked pretty slick in person... i liked the battery compartment. I'm just puzzled why they didn't put a forearm contour cut on it. Didn't get a chance to plug it in cuz some moron was rifffing very badly on the Roland Cubes that i wanted to try out.

Pretty great bare-bones guitar with a real EMG for very little cash. A 7 of it would be very cool.

yup... la guitar unfortunately doesnt carry esp's so i had to go to them (i greatly preffer la guitare). didnt realize there was another one of us from moncton on here other than nickcorm.

i've been in love with these for ages, and it just played so nicely for me. after i gave it a quick setup, it's just awesome for a rythmn machine.

almost $500 when all was said and done.

yeah, i'm not a fan of painted necks, its the only thing i dont like, but a scotchbrite pad will handle that for now, and a lil sandpaper down the road with tongue oil will finish it off. that and new pups (alteast a new bridge pup)

i can actually go thru the landlord's place (he lives below us) for anything big... but it doesnt help for groceries, or lugging gear in and out on band practice days... so glad i aint carrying a 80lbs combo anymore
