Just checked them out. Regardless of opinions on visual, I'd be hardpressed to call these guitars cheap based on those specs.

Sorry for your loss, man.

Can't really see why you don't own it yet.

I realize, it's from Korea but sure does look made well to me.

Mine is Japanese. There's nothing, I repeat NOTHING that couldn't be easily upgraded that wouldn't put this guitar on a par with Gibsons, never mind Epiphones. The wood and craftsmanship are gorgeous.

Will there be more banhammer and panchos?

I am a hologram.

He would be making music that only the gods could hear.

BTW - I love my spider III...

I ain't buyin nuffin!!

You played the right tunes.

No!

Yes!

Excellent score. It's gorgeous!

Great demo. I have a Delta Labs OD and it's that good.

Post all hot deals here, but no SPAM. SPAM is for the other thread. This is for insane blow out deals that you find online and want to share with your fellow GASsers.

If you see a blowout on Music123 on Les Pauls for $99, yes, this is where you post that info, etc.

You can post eBay links you see too, but the eBay links have to be Buy It Nows, not something that is at $1 and still has 10 days left in the auction.

The RULES:

1) NO CRAIGSLIST POSTS IN THIS THREAD!

2) NO WHINING ABOUT DISCUSSIONS IN THE THREAD!

Last month we tried a separate discussion thread, but it's just too cumbersome to have a separate thread, so there won't be one anymore.

From my observations, the majority of people like to talk about the deals in order to decide if they want to buy something. There's typically just a few loud members constantly complaining about the discussions. As long as the discussions are related to the item in question, then the discussion can stay in this thread. If someone starts whining and causes a big flame war about "too much talking" they are going to get a temp ban. Everybody participating in any flame war in this thread will get a temp ban. Just behave yourselves! There is more to life than this internet thready thing.

3) All new deals must be posted in RED! Or at least the TITLE OF THE DEAL.

That will help people be able to filter though the pages of discussion and the actual deal posts will pop right out.

4) Your personal SPAM is not allowed in this thread. If you post SPAM in here, you will get a temp ban. Then no one will be able to buy your crappy gear.

I repeat - NO SPAM in this thread. That means NO TRADES, NO OFFERS, no selling or getting rid of your own stuff. There's one SPAM thread already for that stuff.

And as, alway: there is no whining, bitching, complaining or tantrums allowed in this thread. This thread is only for discussing the hot deals. If you missed a hot deal or you hate Musicians Friend, post about it in an outside thread.

If you buy something in the hot deals thread, and you love it, or hate it, or it bit you in the ass, then post a seperate thread about it, this thread ain't for heated discussion.

I need a shave.....

Only because when I stand on the rug now I look taller.......

My refrigerator is running. Fortunately, I can still keep up...

Besides having the power of life and death, I sweep the place and make sure to put the cat out at night.

Basically, I maintain order while at the same time not spoiling the enjoyment of the majority of folks who come here. I try to maintain civility in discourse, remove spammers and OT threads. But, I get help for that from you guys. I can't read every thread. Most of my cleanup work is done in response to what you guys report. It's actually more of a shared responsibility. Probably the best analogy would be a public servant. I process your request for a license. Ask dog owners to clean up after their pets, etc. I can ban people but certainly they can request a super mod to bail them if they think I've been unfair.

My vote is equal to your vote in all thinks forum connected. If I'm asked my opinion, it will be because of my experience, not my position.

I got on his wrong side once. I woke up the next morning & found a Bugera head in my bed.

BTW - you never thanked me for the burnt offering....

I am not different in the manner to which you are alluding which is to say that I can still post my opinions and can be chastised for breaking the rules. I am not here to be your roll model. I have to abide by the same rules that I ask you to abide by.

The concept of relative worth of guitars is a good topic as long as it is explored without acrimony and disrespect. At the heart of the matter are the materials wood, wire and strings. Their cost can be relative. The cost of overhead can be relative. The cost of skillsmanship can be relative. Some luthiers are artists while some are craftsmen.

We assign value based on our experience of worth. I come from a humble background. I believe in making an honest product and charging an honest price. I have the town shoemaker mentality. I probably wouldn't make shoes for the king and his court.

But that's very personal. I also don't begrudge the king his taste in finery, unless his taste in finery is overly supported by my taxes.

Here is a non political health care view. Ted Kennedy represented a state that boasts some of the finest hospitals and physicians in the country. But when push came to shove, he went to Duke in North Carolina. Are the doctors/hospitals for his ailment better at Duke than in Massachusetts? Did they cost more or less than the doctors/hospitals in Massachusetts? I don't know. But absent any other information, if I had what Ted Kennedy had should I wish I went to Duke?

On a wider scale, hospitals charge all over the place for their services. The cost of a procedure can vary widely. A procedure that costs $5000 at one hospital can cost $20,000 in another. Is the care that much worse at the hospital charging $5000 or that much better at the hospital charging $20,000?

I can say without reservation that if I had $2500 to lay down on a guitar, I'd get a Soloway before going near anything PRS or Gibson. That's a personal decision by me.

But we do have to remember that at the heart of the matter are simple materials. You will probably find much of the same materials in a $600 guitar as you would in a $1500 guitar. Why you would choose to pay more or less will be a consequence of your opinion of the product.

You know, all's well that ends well for sure. I'm glad you guys figured a way to make it work. Kindred spirits don't fall out of the sky too often. I've been through a divorce and while I feel it was ultimately a good thing for both of us, it was very difficult.
