wow, if that doesnt fly at your work, everybody must hate each other. To let something so trivial create a problem like that? At my work we've full out started bag tag. Except for the few girls who work there, they just laugh.

Re: Zachary Guitars.

"By the way I was just thinking that you should mention to EVERY customer that if they are using some solid state or, god forbid, a digital amp, they should not get a Zach. That all the great tone will be handicapped and hidden. They will obviously get that great feel and acoustic response from the instrument...but it will not be able to be properly heard and that is just fucked up. Good tube amps ONLY!! There ARE some very high quality jazz solid state amps but even those are just not the right thing. It's gotta be a simple and well maintained tube amp with a Zach. Just a thought. Eli "

Re: Zachary Guitars.



If you dont like a person, you typically don't go out of your way to support them. If you did, the logical person would call you stupid.


Once again......What does any of what you said have to do with how his guitars sound?

This isn't about like and dislike, support or don't support...It's about people who say his guitars are shit based on his personality. If you can't see that as illogical than maybe you need to go take a critical thinking course.

For me if someone in business is acting like this then they don't get my money. I understand the fact that in business you try to get consumers to buy your product but I think this is the wrong way to go about it.

Re: Zachary Guitars.

I agree. A sales pitch that revolves around little more than trying to convince me that other companies products are inferior holds little weight with me. I say let your product, whatever it is, stand on its own merits regardless of what other companies make. If it's good, people will buy it. Obviously Paul Reed Smith must be doing something right. After all, there's a lot of professionals whom I have respect for using his instruments. Then again, professionals tend to buy products made by professionals, not by amateurs with a chip on their shoulder.

I say they're shit based on his components. If you're not going to use a Tune-O-Matic type bridge, use an adjustable or compenstated wrap around. Some of us like our guitars in tune. Secondly, when he claims he uses whatever woods he finds in dumpsters at Home Depot and they have so little mass, they are going to sound thin or brittle. Personally, I actually really like the finish on that guitar, but I question whether he uses quality parts or not. I'm betting he buys the cheap stuff from Stew Mac. -Mc

Re: Zachary Guitars.

My beef with him has more to do with his baseless slandering of CNC machining. Funny how CNC machines aren't capable of making good guitars but he probably has no problem using tools that almost certainly contain parts that were machined with CNC.

I don't care if I qualify for one of these. Besides I highly doubt his guitars are of better quality then Fender PRS Gibson. FFS I bet the rondos are of better quality then his. Read my above statement.
If I'm going to buy a guitar I at least like to know what I'm getting. Not something that the builder feels like throwing together and then calling it the best guitar EVER.

anything that comes from any type of raw material,from wood to steel to plastic,these days is involved in some sort of CNC process.btw nano,i too am a CNC machine operator,not a machinist,but an operator:thu:

Cool! always like finding other people in the trade. Nice to know you're not a Cort salesman too :smileywink: I agree that most people don't realize just how much stuff is created with some sort of CNC involved. It really pisses me off when I see some schmuck with a couple tools in his garage slandering a trade that takes years of education and labor to become skilled at, and that is a lifetime learning process. Even operating a CNC machine requires a lot more skill than people realize. It's not just pressing buttons, at least not all the time. You've got to know what to do when the program isn't running right, which requires programming knowledge. You've got to know what to do when you've got 30 parts that need to be done by the end of the day and a tool gets crashed into a fixture. Most shops have a 'set up guy' but most also require you to be able to step up and do it yourself in a pinch. If it was just pressing buttons CNC operators wouldn't make anything more than people who work at McDonalds.

Ah, we're aruging something different. My comment has nothing to do with how his guitars sound. Just how his personality will push away buyers due to the sole fact people wont like him.

Think of it this way. Would you buy sometihng, anything, if the person who gains directly from your buying was a huge asshole to you? No, i dont think you would. Sometimes it doesnt matter what the product is, it matters how the seller treats the buyer, and if theyre a douchebag, buyers wont and shouldnt deal with them.

Sorry if I came across as unreasonable. My point in the whole thing is that if I'm going to spend 2-3K for a guitar then I'd sooner go to a established maker then someone who talks smack about the companies pioneered the guitar. That being said sure people probably said the same about Leo and Les but look at what we have now.

And I'll take your advice on the scales into consideration.
