Members kit_strong Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 I don't really have any feelings one way or the other for Patrick Stump but this seems like a sweet guitar. Does anyone have a clue on pricing? If they are in the same ballpark as the G.Love Corvette then it seems like it would be an excellent value.

Members kit_strong Posted January 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hmm.. I guess since this isn't about a Tele, Strat, LP knockoff, or the price of the EVH Wolfgang no one cares :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scoogs Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 Kinda old news... But it does look like an interesting guitar. It's Gretch's first ever 3 pickup guitar. I'm just guessing... I believe it will be in the $500-$700 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetwater has them available for preorder for $700. I was guessing they'd actually be more than the G.Love which has a Street price of about $1000 -Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm not a fan of Megatron pickups. The recipe is ceramic magnets and wound very hot. Both are wound exactly the same too which is kind of interchangeable. Three of them sounds like overkill too with lots of string pull to the guitar. I have 4 Corvettes. One is a Chinese Electromatic. I replaced the neck pickup with a TV Jones Magnatron and replaced the ceramic magnet in the bridge pickup for alnico and now I love the sound. Still it looks like it would be a cool platform for modding if you like Gretsch pickups. I'd probably put a Supertron in the bridge, a TV Jones Classic in the middle and a Hilotron at the neck...and then create some crazy wiring to do all sorts of weird things mixing them. BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BIGSBY? the G. love is coming down in price...I've seen them on Ebay in the $700 to $800 range.They DO have TV Jones Powertrons in them which would cost you over $200 to install in a standard Corvette. And then there's the Bigsby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Geeter Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 I like the brand and the configuration, but not a fan of racing stripes. He looks 14 years old to me which is proof that I am getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Inspector 71 Posted January 23, 2009 Members Share Posted January 23, 2009 I tried a standard version and it sucked. It was green with the stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
