Members GAS Man Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 I mean, cuz this one goes to 7 and that's one more idn't it? What symmetry! What's holding me back? I'm already challenged enough trying to figure out what to do with 6 strings. Oh, I could remove a string! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretmonster Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 Good argument mate, but really that only applies to amps and volume. Keef only needs five - that's my model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Help!I'maRock! Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 too bad about the gold hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 That is really nice looking. If they made it in 6 I would probably buy one but I'm no George Van Epps or Sal Salvador. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted August 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 Good argument mate, but really that only applies to amps and volume. Keef only needs five - that's my model. Yeah, I think it's a real cool looking metal machine. Or if I were a Korn devotee. But I really wouldn't know what to do with the extra low B. I once walked into a local ma/pa music store and asking them if they had any 5 string telecasters for sale. The guy was taking me seriously which was starting to get painful as my kidding was backfiring (so I told him "j/k"). But I did end up buying a Peavey Reactor for that reason. I actually never followed all the way through with it but it was my thought to leave the one set up for Keef style play. I still have that git, so maybe I still will some day.

Members GAS Man Posted August 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 I didn't think you liked active pickups. No I don't. Sometimes I can restrain myself from buying cool looking guitars and this model provides me with two reasons. But I do think it would be a cool guitar for the right player. At a MAP of $1,389 (under $1200 with some dealing?) it's not priced too bad for a Ltd Ed. Gibbie with extra doo-dads. I just think it's a cool looking guitar so I thought I'd toss it out here for some chat. I also like the black/gold and the white piping look the muti-ply pg creates.

Members poolshark Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 I like the headstock idea, but I'd be more interested in 7-strings if they weren't all ridiculous brootz machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members csm Posted August 28, 2011 Members Share Posted August 28, 2011 That headstock IS clever: both practical and elegant in a way which would've earned a nod of approval from Leo Fender. I'd buy one of those guitars in a second if it weren't for the facts that (a) I don't want a 7-string and (b) I don't want a V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted August 29, 2011 Members Share Posted August 29, 2011 I gotta say, I kinda like it... But it sort of doesn't go together. I'd expect most EMG/brootz players would prefer black or chrome hardware to gold and most folks that dig the black/gold vibe, probably aren't fans of EMGs. The headstock/tuners is genius... the output jack placement is abhorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
