Members Exdeath Posted September 26, 2008 Members Share Posted September 26, 2008 Real indie gear is whatever the hell is cheap at the time. Jazzmasters and Jags were old indie gear. My opinion is that indie gear these days should be 80's metal guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lou Speed Posted September 26, 2008 Members Share Posted September 26, 2008 I want a guitar with a Bigsby now. But not this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grayeyes777 Posted September 26, 2008 Members Share Posted September 26, 2008 i played this guitar and it's amazing (sounding and playing). it's worth 1800 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluehuricane Posted September 26, 2008 Members Share Posted September 26, 2008 prs's have always sounded great and played great too. the only problem that i have is that most of their owners aren't very good and it makes me think "this guy probably sucks" every time i see one get put on a stage. they sound really good though... i don't see how anyone could complain about that part of them. they sound like any good humbucker mahogany guitar should, and just cause a lot of you don't like that sound doesn't mean that for that style they aren't really good.

Members I Am Chris Posted September 26, 2008 Members Share Posted September 26, 2008 if PRS didn't scream "TOOLBAG", i might be into this... actually, regardless, i'm into this. bigsby fixes everything. nonetheless, i'm no where near GASin.

Members smallbutmighty Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 It plays nice but I really can't stand the tone of the pu's. They sounded thin and weak. Just my opinion though, they might really suit someone else's style. You are the first person I've ever heard dis the Mira pickups. Every other person I know (me included) thinks they are magnificent. The Mira absolutely kicks butt. The Starla however.....bleck...looks terrible. However, I will admit I didn't like the Mira's looks at first either. Then I played one, and I KNEW I would own one. It sounded that good. The looks have since grown on me. sbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members V Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 Maybe if they scuffed it up a little. Nothing so shiny, except a Rickenbacker, could be deemed Indie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jlantsberger Posted October 3, 2008 Members Share Posted October 3, 2008 I don't know what it's like where eveyone else lives, but most of the indie kids around these parts are far from broke. They may dress like they are, but thrift store clothes don't negate the $40k/year their parents are paying in art-school tuition. And if price is what makes an indie guitar, how can a Rickenbacker be more indie than this thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don't think price has anything to do with it. It's just a look/sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't Mexican and American Jags/JMs hideously more expensive than their strats or tele counterparts? Seems like indie commands a premium these days.

Members EL KABONG Posted October 4, 2008 Members Share Posted October 4, 2008 It looks like the offspring from an unholy union between a Gretsch, Gibson and PRS. I'm glad to see them doing something new and different (for them), but I still Do Not Want. I'll never play a PRS until they come up with a neck option other than Wide / Flat and Wide / Fat. theyve got wide thin and regular dude! come join the party!
