In on Sunday - amazing prices. Guy said he just needs to shift stock before the new models come out!

Got the hots for one of these and managed to find one of the last Korean ones new. Never thought I'd be going back to Warwick (nothing wrong with them) I used a Streamer for 15 years or so, but have been mainly all Fender since. The fit and finish on this is great, setup nicely from the shop, Just strung it with some Dunlop rounds and it sounds really nice, I was thinking flats but it already has a very dark sound on both pickups. It's very easy to play, the neck is super quick, think a nice Jazz. It feels a bit strange standing up playing it at the moment, the neck feels very long for some reason, 34" A crap camera phone photo doesn't really do it any justice, it's bit darker looking than the powder blue it looks here.. but I know the score, no pic, no bass [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/8374568@N07/12224594266/"][/url] [/quote] Beautiful!

Get into a shop and try them - anything said on here will be subjective.

In terms of guitars, I've had a MIM Strat, a Jap strat and a US strat. The MIM was just a decent guitar made of slightly flimsier hardware and a narrower neck. The Jap was precise but dead to me. The US (90s) was a dream purchase for me but I found the sound deadish. The neck was excellent but I found it hard to adjust to the slightly wider neck after the MIM. The best value in the range, IMO, is the Classic Player. Currently got a Thinline Cabronita and the neck is outstanding! Basswise - had a MIM Jazz and it was decent but I've had better from ESP/LTD.

Bet you came home and couldn't plug in because you forgot to buy a cable?

7string on here uses Stewmac a lot. pm him cos I don't think he's ever had a duty problem.

Brilliant wee clip.

Alesis iO2 I use - about £70.

I like some of his stuff but there's a lack of earthiness due to his pantomime approach.

Sheer narcissism.

Never knew Pino did New York Minute - love that song!

Steal a beer glass - that'll learn them!

A few spring to mind but rather than making an identical copy, would it not be better if they were all budgets? Sting's fretless Ibanez as a Roadgear version? Squier Simonon JJ Burnel Steve Harris Ricky Lemmy MM Sub Bernard Edwards

Further from post 199..... Fender Thinline Cabronita Shoreline Gold. Classic Prayer Series. Great deal in Merchant City Music so I bought the tweed case too. Really lovely axe for what it is designed to do. In my work, we have a wee band with staff and pupils. A teacher skipped using his PRS SE SC and a pupil his US Strat (as used by Judas Priest) to use it in a gig. Funnily enough, both commented on how you can really tell an American Fender until I showed them the 'MiM' on the headstock! A keeper. I have a 1 in, 1 out rule in the home - 1 electric, 1 bass and 1 acoustic but if I ever hanker after another guitar this one is getting hidden.

Great find - customise till your hearts content!
