Members live-I-evil Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 The guitar is great and all but I read the title as New LP Day and was hoping you had pressed either some Cathedral Bells or Ten and Six and got excited. So yeah, you should do that at some point. Happy NGD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Poltergeist Posted December 21, 2012 Members Share Posted December 21, 2012 how much do these run for and where are they, quality-wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DylanWilde Posted December 22, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2012 After tax, mine ended up being $517, which by all accounts is a fair, but not spectacular, deal. Apparently, they're japanese made, along similar lines of Tokai, Orville, etc. I asked around on TGP about it, and many people referenced the Matsumoko factory, which was apparently one of the top factories in Japan for guitar production during the 70's. It felt good and seemed like a decent deal, so I went for it. It still won't be ready until tomorrow, but I'm itching at the chance to play it once the frets have been cleaned up and it's been set up with 12s.

Members DylanWilde Posted December 24, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 I am. Soon after getting it home, I played it straight into my "Tweed" NOS Blues Jr. and, after some adjustments, was getting some serious Page and Cream-era Clapton sounds - if I had a video camera I'd totally record it. Gorgeous stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
