In the market for a NEW GUITAR[views:26005][posts:140]______________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 8:04pm - goatcatalyst ""] Black Machines look awesome |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 8:18pm - contagion ""] there are a few people around MA who build custom guitars that you could probably get to build you one for that kind of price range..this is a little late im realizing. dana something or other, used to play in compost pile and shit. he kicks around knows pete rutcho and other guys around town. hes made a couple fuckin SICK guitars. dont really know how to get in touch with him but i;m sure someone does. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 9:17pm - Martins ""] Yeah I may have a friend make me a custom in his spare time. He's made a few builds himself and it would mostly be to have a guitar my friend made but that would be alongside whatever guitar I get now. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 9:18pm - Martins ""] Blue said:Albert is their in shop luthier guy. He's the one the shaved the neck down for me, good dude. Did you have to ship your guitar back yourself? |

He's the man. Knew his shit too. I didn't see any of his guitars though. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 1:10pm - Martins ""] So I just talked to Carvin and...Albert was a weird guy. I asked him about a 6-string 25.5'' neck-through which apparently just does not exist and CAN not exist. "We're not programmed to do that." So I guess their CNC machines don't wanna learn some new tricks. Then I asked about a bypass switch and he said that could NOT happen. Which I don't get...it's one more switch. Whatever. This just means I'm not going with Carvin. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 1:20pm - goatcatalyst ""] get a steinberger and touch kids |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 1:31pm - Martins ""] Do those go hand in hand? Cause my other hand is down some kid's pants. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 4:32pm - Martins ""] bump for more ideas plz? |
| ______________________________ [Jun 23,2009 5:41pm - Blue ""] hmmmm, interesting. blackmachine it is! |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 7:52pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] There's always custom ordering through Rondo! I just recently had an experience that again reminded me how awesome that guy's customer service is. Also, I feel the need to say again: Get the Parker. I was thinking about it, of COURSE the guy that is no longer a DEALER is gonna say it's not that great. They're great guitars from all reviews and accounts I've heard, and from the bells + whistles and versatility you seem to want it's really the right combo. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 9:46pm - Conservationist ""] Get an ESP. http://www.espguitars.com/esptv/Jeff-1.html |
| __________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 10:42pm - Martins ""] After spending the better part of my afternoon browsing sevenstring.org and getting an email from a member on the Parker forum. I will definitely be purchasing a Parker. But if Black Machine comes back around before I have all the money together for the Parker... Blue said:blackmachine it is! |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 10:50pm - niccolai ""] 1400 bucks from dcgl: [img] |
| __________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 11:25pm - Martins ""] Maybe. I heard word from a Parker forumite that there's a used Parker for that amount. I haven't made any decisions yet so who knows what I'll do. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 10:56pm - niccolai ""] i'd offer 1300 for the ESP. DCGL usually throws in the hardshell case, strap, strings, teeshirt, and all kinds of freebees with their stuff. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 11:22pm - Martins ""] Well, now that I'm making $550 dollars a week, I'm full swing on the guitar search. I was really jonesin' for a Parker but now I'm not so sure. I lurk on the Parker forums hardcore (and post once in a while) and there's this whole thing with tuning/trem stability now. A bunch of people have come forth with problems and that's not something I want to deal with on a new guitar. I'm waiting for a Parker representative to stop in and say his part. In the meantime, I've been eyeing Caparison very heavily. Like rape-stare. I wouldn't mind owning a Tat II. Edit: Also, the Mayones Regius makes my dick creamy. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 20,2009 11:26pm - Martins ""] Meaning, say more things to me about guitars I should get besides the Wangcaster. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 8:30am - martinswork ""] nada mas? |
| ______________________________ [Jul 21,2009 9:49am - blue ""] I love caparison stuff, but I feel as if they're a bit overpriced for a bolt on, though very high quality. If you could find one used for a good price I'd say its worth it. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 1:55pm - martinswork ""] That Tat is a neck-through model. It's design is actually quite cool. Check it out on the website. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 1:56pm - arilliusbm ""] i have to admit, it's strange seeing "work" next to your name. never thought you'd leave the couch playing FF and actually get a job |
| __________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 2:00pm - brian_dc ""] [img] |
| __________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 2:01pm - brian_dc ""] that's a company from Norton, MA. They do amazing work...but it's obviously expensive. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 21,2009 4:25pm - Blue ""] DAMN THATS HOT |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 9:53pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] Martins said: I wouldn't mind owning a Tat II. [img] Ricardo owned a Tat II. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 10:33pm - goatcatalyst ""] Hey hombre, check out G Guitars in New Haven before you make your big decision. You'll play some of the necest guitars of your life there. Place is retarded. They have Parker, I'm pretty sure. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 10:47pm - Martins ""] I'm definitely stopping by G Guitars then. I can do it on the same day I plan to check out Axe Palace. I can make it a guitar today. arilliusbm said:i have to admit, it's strange seeing "work" next to your name. never thought you'd leave the couch playing FF and actually get a job I don't know if I should be more insulted that you're calling me lazy or that you think the ONLY RPG I play is Final Fantasy. I PLAY POKEMON TOO. Nah, I'm usually at school but I had two months off and now I start my coop/intern cycle at Northeastern. So I work through December at a place that's actually important. I'm working at 3M doing stuff with (multitouch) touch screens. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 10:51pm - arilliusbm ""] That sounds pretty exciting man. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 10:53pm - Martins ""] Ya, Pokemon is sick. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 10:57pm - arilliusbm ""] I used to play Pokemon on Gameboy but never dared watched the show. I sincerely hope you weren't one of those kids with the Pokemon underwear who used to run around reenacting power rangers on a daily basis, all while sipping their sunny delight and playing with their Mighty Maxes and stretch armstrongs. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 11:01pm - goatcatalyst ""] Let me know when you're going if you wanna be a fatty and get a bitchin lunch... if you're making it such a day of pleasantries, I would be happy to help you compound them. And if you're not content playing PRS guitars past the point of priapism and vintage Gibson shit makes you long, there's Amity Music - a wild motherfucker on the other side of New Haven you should check out. But I digress |
| __________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 11:07pm - Martins ""] I mean, at the current rate, I'll have enough for a 2000 dollar guitar in 3 weeks. If I find one I like, I'm pretty much getting it. I want a Parker bad but I don't want to deal with tuning/trem problems. I'm at the point where I'm considering getting a guitar with a Floyd but I've never had a guitar with a trem. I gotta keep looking around to find a guitar I REALLY like. arilliusbm said:I used to play Pokemon on Gameboy but never dared watched the show. I sincerely hope you weren't one of those kids with the Pokemon underwear who used to run around reenacting power rangers on a daily basis, all while sipping their sunny delight and playing with their Mighty Maxes and stretch armstrongs. No way! I wore my Power Rangers underwear when reenacting Power Rangers. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 21,2009 11:54pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] If you've never played a floyd, don't make your first a $2000 guitar. Floyds are a love/hate thing. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 22,2009 12:01am - Martins ""] Ya, that's basically what I was trying to get at. I've played guitars with trems, including the Floyd Rose system, but I've never owned one. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 22,2009 12:19am - ArrowHeadNLI ""] Buy that used F series LTD in the other thread for $200. It's a floyd, and cheap enough to give it a go before you drop big money on a floyd. I'm a Floyd NUT, I doubt I'll ever want another stop tail in the future. (I just ordered 2 more on sunday. Brings me to 7 Floyds, and 3 stop tail. If you like a Floyd, you'll REALLY like it. It's great for a lot more than whammy dives. (But dives are STILL required) Just playing one won't really tell you. Changing strings a few times, setting it up and trying to balance it properly, that's where you decide if you still love it or if it's not worth the effort. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 22,2009 12:58am - arilliusbm ""] Floyds are a love/hate thing definitely. I love it sometimes, but it is a pain sometimes. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 30,2009 9:20pm - Martins ""] So I think I've decided to get myself a Carvin Bolt kit with a Wilkinson if I don't buy a Parker this weekend. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 18,2009 7:34pm - Martins ""] I'll be the proud owner of a 2004 Black Parker Fly Deluxe by this time next week. Yeah, I know black but I don't give a shit because it's still beautiful as hell and it will be my first black guitar so suck it Blue. I will have a NGD thread just for you guys that don't care. |
