  1. i recommend you look into the PRS DGT model. they have a number of different available finish options; from very understated all the way up to very bling. here's why i recommend it: it can definitely do gibson (LP, 335) tones, but also has a lot of its own thing going on that should allow you to find your own sound(s) the pickups are coil-tapped, and are the best tapped pickups i've ever heard- no signal loss and very nice single-coil sounds. the humbucker "mode" is amazing as well. the neck is very comfortable if you like a slightly chunkier neck that isn't too chunky. it has a really nice trem system that is there when you want it, and unintrusive when you don't. it fits in with your style perfectly. you can find a used one for your budget (or less if you are patient) it will hold its resale value if you don't end up bonding with it, but it's got some serious vibe to it that you won't want to part with. here's mine (you might prefer something a little more subdued- PRS makes them with dot necks as well, and solid colors if you aren't into figured tops).
  2. that is freakin' amazing, Mario. you have skills, both on and off the guitar. thank you for sharing all of this!
  3. Hey Ben! sounds like a plan.. you better have beer though and a guitar for me to play! you can count on a ton of beer. i might even have an extra guitar for you to play too.
  4. freaking awesome. thank you for sharing. and come to my house when you're done. i'll put you to work.
  5. AcousticMusic.org has a shop in Guilford and usually has a couple of Collings among some other really beautiful instruments i keep meaning to get down there. not far from me. one day~ thank you, J!
  6. i'd like to try Teye, Collings, Fano, Gustavvsson, Parker.
  7. for one particularly good point of reference (IMO): a black '57 Duo-Jet is currently valued at around $5,000 - $6,200 according to the 2011 Vintage Guitar Price Guide. that assumes it's in great condition with case. i've seen them priced quite a bit higher, but not sure if they're exactly "flying off the shelves" at any price these days given the slow economy.
  8. here's a thread about a guitar i have that's being broght back from the dead, so to speak: meandi restoring my '81 Gibson LP Deluxe
  9. i haven't heard anyone worth listening to complain about LP studios. they are all Les Paul for much less $$$, especially used.
  10. congratulations~ that's gorgeous!
  11. that is gorgeous! congratulations on what i'm sure will be a new favorite guitar.
