He wrote a long time ago on Harmoneeyz Centralz "No Scrampz" forum, that he had some original design guitars with Dano style construction. But I guess he must have scrapped that idea.

I can't say I've paid much attention to semi hollows and such.

I always thought that the Sheraton was the Epi equivalent of a 355 with the Riviera being the 335's cheapo cousin?

Its a pity they only offer Strat and Tele bodies. With a bit of patience and knowledge you can pick up better deals on ebay than pay $80, for in some cases a full guitar, obviously due to how common they are.

Yeah, but WD promises "solid three-piece poplar", and there's intense likelihood that the $30 BIN strat on ebay is made out of chipboard, or ply... If that matters to someone.

BTW i emailed GFS and he confirmed that the dimensions of their tele body are exactly like a 62 tele. so thats another good reason.

wd's bodies are too expensive. for that price i could almost have warmoth make me a body, with custom features.

And You think that the quality is fine on their instruments ?
Cause I really like the looks..
And Im still hawt on hollowbodies..
Just I was scared of those Gretsch humbuckers..
These P90's look nicer, and they are cheaper..
And 300$ is money I could get..

i don't think anyone has had a bad experience with GFS. my one pickup i bought from them is great, and customer service is good too.

we've been watching this guy since he got started.

Word. Only thing I'll say is I can remember noho customers complaining about the gfs lipsticks not sounding good. My GFS experience is limited to the brooklyns in my Ovation and the Fatbody in the neck of a friend's tele.

mickie and i can confirm that the p-90's are not that... great sounding.
they are good, but the mighty mite p-90s rock so much harder and overal the sound(and price) is ALOT better than gfs
i thinki mo has lipsticks in his strat, not sure what they sound like tho.

Thom · Post by **Thom** » Sun Jan 04, 2009 4:18 pm

The lipsticks are ok, not great, but not awful either. Not enough balls to them, but that might just be lipsticks in general.
