Members pixelchemist Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Only my XV-620... the nut that came in it was hand-cut (incorrectly) but i replaced that with a Tusq nut, tossed on some straplocks and polished the frets and now its a great player. Although I do like the neck alot at some point I will probably replace it with a MM rosewood one. Do not regret my purchase though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blingdogg Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I was brainwashed into buying an Xaviere because of this forum. I'm glad I did, because I love playing my xv-600 semi-hollow Tele!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarman3001 Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 None... but I have sure GASSED for a lot of them!!! This. I've wanted a bunch of the guitars I've seen here but have yet to buy one. I did buy a First Act amp during the craze though. Did not regret it.

Members JC777 Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Gretsch Americana is the only one. For $30 it was well worth it. I'm still having fun with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SPONGEBOB Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Bought into the Agile/SX wet dream, and loaded up..... meh.. Ok at best.. Just generic guitars.. about worth the money but thats as far as it goes...They are all gone at a loss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitar Heel Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Zippo... Though, I may have been tempted by the 51, and I have to say that I'm at least a little interested in this Explorer business. I'm going to call my GC later today... If they have one in stock. My streak of non-influenced guitar purchasing may end this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueshawk1 Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Let's see, Squier 51, Gretsch Americanas, I found out about SXs and Agiles and Xavieres here.I don't have the SXs any more (but do not regret having them when I did), and the two Squier 51s I had are gone, I still have two Agiles and an Xaviere which I have no plans to part with, and I have two of the Americanas, I may or may not sell one, but will always keep one of them. There have been a number of others I got GAS for as a result of reading about or seeing them here, so yes, this place can NOT be good for the GAS afflicted.

Members GarysBlues Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 I was brainwashed into buying an Xaviere because of this forum. I'm glad I did, because I love playing my xv-600 semi-hollow Tele!! I bought Jays XV-900 and wound up selling it for double what I paid for it. I'm thinking about grabbing another of the new offerings of the XV-900's he has out now. Good inexpensive 335 copy.MOF here was the last XV-900Heres the Fender Tele talked about earlier thats my main Tele now. Very Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashasha Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 None, which is amazing to me. Actually I think that I bought a $100 7 string Washburn a few years ago and flipped it later that month and broke about even.I've found a few of my own deals and posted them in the hot deals thread, but it's been quite a while since I was buying gear. I have bought some gear off of here from other members that I wouldn't have bought otherwise and have had a lot of good fortune dealing with good people!Only real regret I had was the Squier51, but it seems just like all the other cheap guitar fads that came and went that it turned out to be just another decent guitar for the price; nothing amazing...atleast that is what I tell myself everytime I look at them on e-Bay.

Members Fireproof777 Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Zip, Zero, Nada, but I did try to get in on the Explorer deal..missed out, oh well. Other than that, I've enjoyed watching the rest of you buying and posting which has led to (on a rare occasion) a bad case of GAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GreatDane Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 i bought the silverburst SG GOTW totally on impulse when someone posted a thread about it with a link to Sweetwater. they sold out a few hours later. it's an amazing guitar, and looks great too IMO. only nitpicky thing i have to say about it~ i do wish they had done them like the original; the burst on the originals is on the back and on the back of the neck, but on the newer silerbursts they just shoot the front. other than that, nothing.

Members Doctor Morbius Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 Absolutely zero! OK, just kidding there. Yeah, I've bought several. No definite numbers though. I've not jumped onto the "HCEG Hot Item" bandwagon in a while though. I've ended up selling most of the "Hot Items" I've bought though so I'm a lot less tempted anymore. I've completely skipped out on the following deals. No real interest:First Act ampsFirst Act guitarsBlackheart ampsGibby ExplorersEPI Valve Jr. I did buy these items and still have them:2 Gretsch AmericanasHot Rod Deluxe Limited Edition (absolutely LOVE it!)EPI Les Paul '56 RIH & K 20th Anniversary Amp (another stellar deal)I would have liked to have snagged an Eric Johnson Strat for $1000, but I was too late to the party.

Members bali Posted December 31, 2008 Members Share Posted December 31, 2008 In total that would be ZERO. Most of the recommendations here are the blatently obvious big name/big price manufacturers. Although a few brave souls do occasionally recommend Yamaha and the like, I may have even seen a Rogue recommendation once or twice. Seems like an awful lot of guitar players corresponding here are either rich or in debt up to their ears. Tongue-in-cheek so don't get your skivies in a knot.
