Members Mazi Bee Posted September 8, 2005 Members Share Posted September 8, 2005 Damn, this is tempting. The question is, which color? The blue or black. I'm kinda leaning towards the blue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted September 8, 2005 Members Share Posted September 8, 2005 Dammit! I'd say jump on it. I bought the Celtic H Showmaster last year when they dropped the price to $250 and I've been happy with it, but it's a hardtail with a single Atomic Humbucker and single volume knob. One with a tremolo and Duncans for the same price would be sweet, but I'm not really in the market for another guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IdaCrue Posted September 8, 2005 Members Share Posted September 8, 2005 I have had the Showmaster Black Cherry Quilted Maple Hum Hum guitar since March. My wife bought it for my birthday. It is a fantastic guitar. The 59 Pearly Gates combination sounds great. There is nothing I don't like about this guitar. IMHO the Korean Showmasters are first rate.

I've definately been gassing over the Natural FMT (Flamed Maple) one. Gorgeous but I never wanted to pay over $600 for it. Now this one, the same thing just with a blue metallic that I happen to also like. Dammit. Must....resist..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mazi Bee Posted September 8, 2005 Members Share Posted September 8, 2005 Originally posted by Norcal_GIT_r I agree, this one at 249 is great deal. They are having tons of great deals this go around. Just last night I bought some M-Audio BX8 studio monitors for my PODxt. They are normally $499 they were blowing them out for $299. Had to jump on that deal. Now I want this Showmaster too dammit!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I already have a condo and a permanent parking spot on the Dark Side. This just means I would need to rent a bigger storage space on Dark Side Ave in addition to the one I already have!!

Members MattACaster Posted September 8, 2005 Members Share Posted September 8, 2005 Originally posted by Mazi Bee I think that's just a reflection of light... I think it's actually bound. EDIT: Nah, I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mazi Bee Posted September 8, 2005 Members Share Posted September 8, 2005 Originally posted by MattACaster I think it's actually bound.EDIT: Nah, I'm wrong. Actually on closer inspection i think you may be right. It looks like the body and neck are bound on the black one. That's very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the black ones had binding and the rest didn't but I second guessed myself. *hangs head in shame* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fender {censored}ed up on their stock picture! LOL (Not like that hasn't happened before.... ) Wish I'd have saved that pic I saw with NO binding earlier on the black! Gahhhh!

Members batotman Posted September 8, 2005 Members Share Posted September 8, 2005 I've saw that. I've played one in person. They dont' have locking tuners unless they vary individually. Fender's always screwy. The FMT's are supposed to have SD's but they don't anymore and haven't for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be forced to buy one just so we can settle this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
