Members Visconti Posted December 6, 2013 Members Share Posted December 6, 2013 First the video and then the photos of this killer Echopark Downtowner guitar made in Echo Park, Ca. I want this guitar under the Christmas tree this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted December 6, 2013 Members Share Posted December 6, 2013 Is your Christmas tree made out of tonewood? Sorry man had to. Killer guitar, normal looking but just different enough.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted December 6, 2013 Members Share Posted December 6, 2013 Looks pretty nice to me! I can even appreciate those cloudy-looking pickups. I would prefer the cutaway to be totally flush to the neck, but whatever. I like the P90 and humbucker combo, always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Special J Posted December 6, 2013 Members Share Posted December 6, 2013 Very nice. Love the woodgrain and pickup combo. My only complaint is the pickguard. I've for some reason come to really dislike tort shell guards on most electrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted December 7, 2013 Members Share Posted December 7, 2013 Well, then he carved 100 year old mahogany to look like First Act. But I didn't really notice that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell is that?The Echopark Downtowner looks like a cross between a vintage 1958 Supro Dual Tone and a vintage 1958 Gibson Les Paul Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeanoBoy Posted December 8, 2013 Members Share Posted December 8, 2013 The Echopark sounds sweet! Lance is another killer Austin player. The cutaway doesn't move me but I like the headstock and the top is righteous. Bottomline; thru a great amp played by a "player", that guitar is awesome!

Members kayd_mon Posted December 8, 2013 Members Share Posted December 8, 2013 You know, Visconti, life would be easier if you didn't insult people for having a different opinion in you thread that asks for our opinions. Easier, but less entertaining, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted December 8, 2013 Members Share Posted December 8, 2013 @danhedonia I didn't know that Echo Park was a neighborhood, or a hipster neighborhood at that. I do feel strangely self-conscious for owning an Eliot Smith record now, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your full of crap. OK, so if you went to GC to buy a guitar you buy it for the color and pickups and you wouldn't ask what kind of wood the guitar is made out of? Swamp Ash or Alder it's all the same? Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get it.I'd rather have one great quailty guitar than 10 guitars that are crap because they won't stay in tune or intonate because of poor fret placement.It's about quality and not quanity.

Members kayd_mon Posted December 10, 2013 Members Share Posted December 10, 2013 You clearly don't get it, thus the lol. It's also funny that you can't tune or intonate non-custom shop guitars. So lol again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted December 10, 2013 Members Share Posted December 10, 2013 The more you say it, the more you prove your ignorance. Maybe some real bottom-of-the-barrel guitars have crooked frets, but most of these budget guitars are able to be intonated just fine. Drool over your custom builders all you like. Some of the stuff is nice to look at, and I'm sure a lot of it is nice to play. But if you honestly think you can't tune up a budget guitar, and that you need to spend a ton of money to get something that can be intonated correctly, then you're either A) brainwashed by marketing rhetoric or B) so drunk on your custom-made Kool-aid that you can't be reasoned with anymore. Whatever the case, you're a riot. So, so funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted December 10, 2013 Members Share Posted December 10, 2013 Too pedestrian for me. I know a guy who makes these custom made cars that look exactly like Ferraris, but they cost twice as much, so they are clearly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted December 10, 2013 Members Share Posted December 10, 2013 I actually thought about emailing a few of these builders he brings up all the time to tell them about all the negative publicity they're getting here. The first thread I read with this guy in it (a necro thread about something custom), I thought he was the builder, the way he got so upset with any criticism about the guitar.
