Members Phrophus Posted June 6, 2012 Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hamer USA superstrats. Californians, diablos, centauras, and chapparals. I think that's all of 'em. Zion guitars too. One of these days, I will find and buy a Zion Ty Tabor model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these days, I will find and buy a Zion Ty Tabor model. I almost worked for Zion, I regret not doing that for a year just to make a few guitars for myself I've had 3 different Hamer USAs. I love catching the Diablos and chaps for under 400, so much guitar for the money Anyone a Charvel pro? There are some SERIOUS looking charvels on guitarcenters used site for under 400.

Members LoopQuantum Posted June 6, 2012 Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 HELL YES BILLY! I've owned 2 Robins. AWESOME guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Assy- Posted June 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2012 Owned a Robin, borrowed one of those EXACT Rands except it was a prototype non-"production" model, had no finish, looked a little crappy, one piece neck-through, one his first 27 fretters. Worth thousands, played so well! Also used to own one of those WRC Gibsons, was a piece of ass. Gibson M-iii anyone?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, not really "under the radar" per se, but the Peavey Vandenbergs are fetching a lot of money, I bought mine for $450 new back in the day.
