Hi all, recently broke my foot and have spent the last month in and out of plaster, so I have saved myself a bit of cash, enough for a new guitar.

Picked this up today, It's like the love child of a Firebird and a Jazzmaster. This is the korean version rather than the made in england one, that said it is built really well, as good if not better than a gibson of similar spec like a LP studio for example.


The pickups are good, my only complaint is that the taper on the tone knob is pretty severe, nothing much happens until you get down to about 3 and then the treble rolls right off, easily replaced though. It has a huge tone which is very bassy.


I am finding the reverse headstock a bit unusual keep on reaching for tuners which aren't there. I really like the recessed jack input, that won't be unscrewing itself in a hurry like my LP.


Group shot, sorry about the crappy pics.

looks really cool! nice collection.

Nice.

I still love the GS1, too.

sorry, but that's really ugly.

glad you like it, as that is all that matters.

Usually I do not like the look of those Fret King guitars, but that is actually quite cool, like a Explorer mixed with a Firebird.

Thanks, I have got some plans for the GS1, thinking about putting a p-rail or a tv jones pick up in there, when I play it acoustic it has a really big mid range/trebly sound which the humbucker doesn't really do justice to.

I am determined that the next guitar I buy will not be an all mahogany guitar! I had my heart set on a tele but came back with a esprit, still worse things that could happen.

Lovely, lovely guitar - have considered one myself.

i'm detecting a theme. lets call it......'AWESOME!'

i been after the white one of these with P90's for ages, nice guitars...

Really nice, never seen one in that setup. They seem to turn these out with all sorts of wacky schemes but the slightly low-key look of yours makes it even more appealing to me. Good stuff.

Nice collection!

It's like a flying V that's changed it's mind which way it wants to point..
Really dig!!...and looks the part next to t'others...good find!

rad

I dig it highly

I spotted one of these the other day. I love the look of them.

I NEED ONE OF THESE.

you guys. yall. dammit.







I AM SO HARD RIGHT NOW.

FRET KING + TWANG KING = PROFIT?

Actually, I rather like the look of their Ventura series.



Especially the basses

It's almost the wonky rondo jazzmaster thing.
