Sounds good, the P90 models in particular.

Some proper SLOAN TOANZ going on there.

need to polish up on the editing a bit too:

*holding 520*
"so that the 520. im now going to try the 620..."
*cuts to holding the 620*
"so this is the 620..."

Have you got cloth ears George?

I thought there was a distinctive difference between a few of the models.

I actually really love that headstock. Reminds me of their 60's semi hollows like the SA 15

I'll hold off on judgment until I play one, which will probably be in the odd chance used GC find in 10 years.

I can see a lot of alternative guitarists using those. They are kinda teisco-ish and we all know how nice do yamahas play... :)

The styling looks very derivative.

Guitar/gear buying binge

Post by mickie08 »

OK. so since around Thanksgiving I have been on a guitar buying binge. basically finally dropping the money I should have before considering how many nights I am out playing.

Still have my black breedlove acoustic electric..

Bought:
Taylor 114ce (5 months ago - this is now my main stage acoustic)
Martin DCX 12 string a/e
Larivee LV09 (friend needed to sell it so I could not help as it was a 3K guitar new and I got it for a great deal)
G&L ASAT carved top, dual humbucker tele style
Gretsch electromatic forget the model but it is the large hollowbody. All white with gold hardware...

Also dialed in a really nice DI setup so I do not use amps. I bought the sans amp fly rig which is basically a sams amp DI, Delay pedal, Reverb, Overdrive Channel, and Boost all in one small strip. That with a couple pedals for fun (like my EHX b9) and it works well. Even better I can yun either my acoustics or my electrics through it (I turn the sans amp off and an EQ pedal on for acoustic.

Happy guitar man.

Now I just have to remember how to use the uploader and post pics to take a family pic. I will dos o tomorrow and post it up here if I can...
They say great minds think alike....Sometimes we do too...

I really like them. I wasn't sure about the headstock but it grew on me. I think they would be a superb guitar.

I've been out for a while, so apologies for the ~BUMP~, but I really dig these. Just enough SG and LP to not be either of them. They look quite slick. Definitely digging the grey one you others are digging as well. 8)

That flame-topped monstrosity actually sounds kinda killer.

Fuckkkkk, the sweet art deco tailpiece is sprung loaded for slight-vibrato times (1:46):
