Members _pete_ Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 I'm not looking to buy but I just saw these at MF. They look good and the pricing is nice. HSS or HH with Wilkinson or Floyd trems. $300-$600. Anyone have one? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation/solid-body-electric-guitars?N=100001+306241+203705 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Minitruth Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 IIRC, they are made by Aria. Could be wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frets99 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 They're Guitar Center's new house brand, designed by the guy who designed Brawley guitars. Fretmonster sings Brawley praises. I have played them and they feel excellent. The hardware all looks topnotch. I'm not a fan of the pickup voicings but I may be prejudiced. I expect something a little stratty from 3 SC designs. The tone is not bad. Just not my cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 I've played a few at GC, and they've not impressed me much. On paper they're great, they've got all the right specs and hardware, but they're just rather blah. The trans white one looks very cool in person, but it was just lifeless when I played it.

That may be what I'm feeling from the pups. No pop. No sizzle. But a pup change n who knows! You're right. On paper, it should be a terrific guitar.

Members Blackbelt1 Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 I have played a few here at the local GC. They look terrific in person, but I think they're asking about twice the amount of money I'd be willing to pay for a relatively new brand. ~Blackbelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rainvalorx Posted January 11, 2008 Members Share Posted January 11, 2008 I actually played that white one and the one with the FR yesterday at GC through a valveking 112, I really did like it, sounded good, felt good. I think they may be a bit overpriced, but what isn't nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
