Members Deeprig9 Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have yet to find any kind of affordable (~$1000) guitar that meets these requirements: Hollow or Semi HollowTremeloFusion size body Shredder neck/fretboard Alot of guitars meet 3/4 of that in the ~$1000 or under category. PRS has the great hollows and the se semis, which I've played and like, but no tremelo to keep it ~$1000. Languadoc could make me one, for around $15,000. Almost all the solid bodies in that realm come with tremelo standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deeprig9 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 In the meantime, I have to get by with this old clunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deeprig9 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 no recos? I'm sure such a guitar exists, I am counting on the expertise and collective experience of the esteemed members of harmony central to throw me a bone.

Members ItchyFingers Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 Deeprig, that Strat is beautiful! I think you are going to have a very hard time matching up semi-hollow and shredder neck profie. That's a rare combo, at any price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds great through my blues driver and solid state amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deeprig9 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I've milled around the PRS custom shop online, but the point is that I just can't beleive there's no factory-ready guitar to meet those specs. Basically a Gretsch 5120 with a smaller body and a faster neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ItchyFingers Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 It sounds great through my blues driver and solid state amp Hahahaha! Nice one. I was just throwing some good natured shit your way in that thread, hence this little guy - :poke: I have no problems with people running solid state gear, its not like you can hear the difference in a recording. But as someone who's busted his back hauling around a JC120 and trying to get a warm tone out of it, I much prefer playing single channel tube amps. Back OT - Have you checked out the Carvin website?

Members Deeprig9 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm pretty happy with my Peavey JF-2, and it only cost me $300 new. I've played some of those peaveys back when I was gassing for a hollow body jazz guitar, but they don't have the neck I need. Great guitars! But I need a fusion, shredder-meets-jazzer, basically the Trey guitar with tremelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JC is a heavy bastard. And I don't have anything against tube amps. My only point was that you don't have to have a tube amp to sound good. I'm not married to the JC. I'm sure I'll find something heavier and more expensive to fall in love with down the road. On Carvin, I've piddled around, but not critically. I'll go check it out again, see if they've got 4/4 for ~$1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there was one listed in the classifieds here, but not green. Think it was blue. I'll edit if I see it again. ***edit... Nope nevermind.
