Members DARKMETL/ Posted December 5, 2009 Members Share Posted December 5, 2009 I am in no way able to pick up a new axe but if I could...that Rush flametop would be top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeSpitzer Posted December 5, 2009 Members Share Posted December 5, 2009 I would like to think an honor system and a man's word of integrity would be good enough such that i could let a guitar circulate among 5-6 of you for a "test drive" without the need for deposits and all that...... but you may be correct ....... this is the real world. We can come up with something that will work here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeSpitzer Posted December 5, 2009 Members Share Posted December 5, 2009 I know this post got started with TUSCANY series, but have you guys looked at the EXLUSIVE series ? You will note these are affordable alternatives to famous axes -- but allow you to keep your own unique look. Michael A Spitzer www.valveampusa.com http://www.youtube.com/user/ValveAmpUSA http://twitter.com/ValveAmpUSA http://www.facebook.com/pages/Valve-Amp-USA/197834847852 For example -- our ALIEN is an $800 version of a STEVE VAI IBANEZ JEM that now goes for about $2600 Same body wood, same neck material, same hardware, same Dunlop 6100 fretwire, same Dimarzio Evolution pickups, etc..etc.. The idea here was to give players access to certain legendary tones while maintaining their own identity and style ...... not to mention keeping the extra $2000 in your pocket or spending it on something else. Likewise... Our SHREDDER is spec-wise a YJM Strat. We even used a Larry Lashbrook scalloped neck as the pattern to follow. Our ERUPTION is like EVH's very early 70s hand made guitar and used the same custom Seymour Duncan pickup used on the recent $25,000 EVH Frankenstein. The BLACK DEATH is obviously our tribute to the Godfather of Heavy Metal .... Tony Iommi / Black Sabbath. etc...etc...etc The Exlusive 5 String Basses have been a big hit !

Yeah, you never know.What should work would be that when someone gets on the list, they give you a credit or debit card number. You don't charge anything on it, just hold it if needed.When that person takes their turn and then ships the guitar off to the next person (insured), they forward you the tracking number. When that next person receives it, you can delete the sender's credit card number since you would have proof that it was shipped.If someone gets shady and doesn't ship it off, you would know who it is, and can charge them for the guitar. Most of the folks here are very honorable but we get our share of jerks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members B Money Posted December 7, 2009 Members Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'd like to get in on the review cycle if possible! Mostly interested in the Floyded Rush Custom, and the Luxor. The pics are great looking, but I would love to be able to get my hands on one before committing to an order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MikeSpitzer Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hello, this is Michael Spitzer. We have decided to make some business changes for 2010. The Italian guitars and amplifiers we have previously been importing and selling in the USA will soon be sold here in North America thru another distributor and dealer. This includes all makes and models of THE VALVE, VIBE, FRUDUA, TUSCANY & EXLUSIVE products. It is our feeling that these are very good products with unique features. We feel a larger established Music Retailer who already sells a wide range of products in the USA will be better able to promote these great brands. This will also allow us to pursue other business interests with full focus and intensity. Because of our change in direction, this creates a ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY to get these great products at unbelievable prices as we liquidate our remaining inventory. Visit our ONLINE STORE to take advantage of these great deals as we clear our warehouse. http://storesense4.megawebservers.com/valveampusa_com/Categories.bok You will never see these amps, guitars & basses at these prices ever again! Also congratulations to Jay Crocker who will be receiving the FREE Model 3100 tube amp. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Orange Jackson Posted December 19, 2009 Members Share Posted December 19, 2009 If I had $333 to blow I would give Rush a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
