Well I'm afflicted with that condition sooooooooo.

Chandler gonna Chandler.

I'm really craving an AX8 by Fractal to be the back-up for my Kemper but mostly upgrade the equipment I keep at home for demoing material (pod hd desktop now...). I think it would also give the spark to play a bit more in general. The POD HD is alright, but the feel just isn't there!

Have really wanted one of these for awhile, and the local GC finally got one in - used - and I checked it out. The fret buzz was about the worst I've ever experienced on a name brand guitar... not sure if it was just the previous owner screwed the set-up pup badly, or that's just how they are... but I still want one, just not that specific one...

KM-7 Transparent White

KM-7 Transparent White

Used plus GC equals two major chances to set this guitar up horribly. I was less wowed with the KM6 I briefly had, but it wasn't a bad guitar. Given a bit more time or a lot less of someone else's grease on the satin finish and I probably would have felt differently. There have been some hiccups on these for sure, but overall consensus is positive - once electronics issues are handled when/if applicable.

I’ve said before (several times), all foreign guitars need a simple rewiring with quality components and all that stuff - and it’s super cheap! Provided you do it yourself of course. Not directed at you feral

Yeah, it didn't put me off to the line, but paying $700 for a guitar that at bare minimum requires a set-up just to be playable wasn't my idea of smart spending.

And that's why I usually hunt for lesser priced guitars, then fix them up. As long as you get a quality body and neck, you're good to go - so spending $1000 on a guitar that I have to turn around and gut just doesn't make sense to me. Case in point, I paid $150 for my JS32-7 and it plays radically better than that KM-7, priced at $700.

All that being said, man I *WANT* a KM-7 in transparent white.

Digging my new DK24 Pro Mod enough that I’m considering another Charvel. Maybe Style 2 like this.

Then maybe given it a Shou Sugi Ban finish...

go with the 5th from the right, the light orange/black one and go with gold hardware or black.

or go with the blue and chrome hardware....or black

ESP E-II T-B7 in shell pink.
This is rad. GFP gets so many cool special runs. It's perfectly specced for my tastes.

These are some serious value for your money buys, especially used. Whichever version I end with next, I want to give the DiMarzio Imperiums a shot.

I will kill a man for an esp anchang star that doesn't have that hideous dean style headstock. all I want are star shaped guitars anymore.

Those are Dave from Revocation's PUPs right? I'm curious to hear what those are like. I love the Pro Mods. I think I've had 4 now?? Really want another.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I've heard so many good things about those Charvels. Need to really try one of the Style 2s.

yup, they're dave's sig pickups. i asked around about the imperiums and they're basically like a darker sounding PAF vibe from what I was told. If I could ever find a set used I'd bother trying em, but paying used bkp prices for dimarzios stings.

I’m seeing them for $84 each, seems about the same as most new Duncans. I’m good with that for a set.
