Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 4, 2009 Members Share Posted May 4, 2009 Looking for even trades only. Acoustic guitars and electric guitars of the non metal variety. Leaning to acoustic but open. For pics of the shielding PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members -Assy- Posted May 5, 2009 Members Share Posted May 5, 2009 hmmm trade? http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f121/guitarzan1143/Autumn/DSC_1146.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 What is it I'm looking at Guitarzan? A Carvin? Thanks for the offer Johnny but I don't really want to mess around trading for a brand of a guitar I'm not familiar. Maybe dopey on my part but I just think it's too risky to trade for a guitar I've never heard of or played before. I'm sure they're nice guitars but there's now way I can tell!

Members -Assy- Posted May 6, 2009 Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 its one from my custom shop, but if you aren't interested in smaller brand names, then i take it you arent interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'm not interested in anything I can't either research or go find and play. It's not that I'm a headstock snob. There are a ton of great small luthiers but I'm not going to risk trading for a guitar I've never played from a manufacturer that isn't recognizable and doesn't have a widely known reputation.

Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 7, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 7, 2009 Attaching a trade value of $1300-1400 to this. Anything less will require you to kick in extra cash. I'm not looking to do that though. I'd look at PRS, Gibson, other Fenders. I'd be interested in trading for a Custom Shop Fender + Cash on my part. Anything Fender has to have a maple board however.

Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 10, 2009 Thank you for the offer. I'm going to pass on the RD Custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 17, 2009 $1300 or partial trade for a Rickenbacker 360 6 string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dugzee Posted May 17, 2009 Members Share Posted May 17, 2009 I have other Fenders, including CS strats but I'm curious, why would you trade the EJ strat for other Fenders? What is it about it you don't like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2009 I have other Fenders, including CS strats but I'm curious, why would you trade the EJ strat for other Fenders? What is it about it you don't like? The thing that other people seem to really like about it. The neck. :/ I kinda like my American Standard neck better! Maybe I'm a tad n00bish. It seems a bit fat for me. Near the nut it's FINE I actually really like it there. Further up the neck things start to get hairy. I'd really at this point prefer either partial trade for a Rick 360 or just cash (to fund a Rick 360) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2009 I don't feel I can get another Stratocaster the same quality as this one with a different neck without getting a Custom Shop. Hope that answers your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dugzee Posted May 18, 2009 Members Share Posted May 18, 2009 Yup, that answers my questions, and all perfectly logical, neck feel is definitely a personal preference. Sounds like you're set on a Ric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2009 It's a shame because I can't appreciate what most people find to be the best thing about the guitar. {censored}, people pay $600+ for the necks alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HumanFuseBen Posted May 18, 2009 Members Share Posted May 18, 2009 does the EJ Strat not have a back cover on it??? why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2009 They don't come with one. It doesn't even have the holes to install one. Personal preference of Eric Johnson when he was helping to design the guitar maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dugzee Posted May 19, 2009 Members Share Posted May 19, 2009 Exactly, v neck profile, no back cover, specially wound pickups, all to EJ's specs. Personally I love these guitars and I'd like to have this one even though I have 4 other strats. It's a disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2009 It's so funny. I thought I heard it earlier today saying something in the corner. "Dugzee... dugzee!" What the hell is up with that? Creepy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members namrok Posted May 19, 2009 Members Share Posted May 19, 2009 Mint Eric Clapton Signature Strat "Blackie"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GiantFoamHat Posted May 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 19, 2009 No thanks. I'm really on the prowl for a Rick or a CS Stratocaster at the moment. Active electronics and noiseless pups and me don't get along too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jaremy Flygare Posted May 20, 2009 Members Share Posted May 20, 2009 Check it out under acoustic guitars on H-C. Let me know. Thanks Jaremy balladjamjewl@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
