GAS Attack!!! Your next axe... | Forums

So, we have a thread for what we have to play the game with... But I'm planning to buy a new guitar in the next couple of weeks, so I thought it might be nice to have a dedicated thread for your window shopping, or to get feedback on a potential model you're looking at... I'll start:

Up first is a 2010 Fender Special Run Sunfire Orange Stratocaster with H/S/S configuration. Here's a pic:



I love the metallic orange sparkle finish. In the sun, these things really glow. I'm also pleased with how the humbucker sounds in the mix.

This is what I'm drooling over, but at $2500 I won't be getting this Gibson Les Paul Standard Ebony any time soon:

I usually don't really like black guitars, as they're often just too plain jane for my tastes, but that's awesome. I really like the ivory they've matched with it, as well as the more bronzed tone of the control switches. That's a beautiful guitar.

I'm just the opposite - I really like black. I like that it's kind of low-key, yet still very cool. I do like the flashier colors too, but as a beginner I don't need a "look at me" style of guitar.

Oh, I know I'm definitely in the minority there... just look at the number of black guitars out there... they wouldn't make them like that if folks weren't snapping them up! But I don't think of it as a "look at me" as much as "I'm looking at it" and drooling... lol

I've always liked the PRS guitars, but it was half again as much as the limited edition Gibson I ended up with when I bought my first one. Not sure it would sound significantly different from my LP, though, until I actually play one.

I got this Fire Crackle Charvel Model IV, that I am putting together. I had to do some minor touch up on the body, and some more clear coat. I need to polish it out. I have all the parts, and EMG pickups to go in. I just gotta find the time to finish it up.

Here it is next to my black Model IV. I always wanted one of these, but I could not afford one, back then.



I also have a whole stack of alder out in the shop (garage), that will make about 3 Strat bodies and about 4 Tele bodies. I just gotta get busy.

What are the dot position markers on that, Steel?

They're birds. It's a PRS thing. I think it's just got the standard dots on the side.

Looks like PRS's trademark bird inlays.

Rcole your Charvel is the nicest axe I've seen on these forums! I'm a huge Jackson fan, I've been saving for a Chris Broderick sig. when they are finally released.
