Re: Expensive - But I kinda like it
They do look nice but they're really expensive for such a basic guitar.
Re: Expensive - But I kinda like it
Yup, that's the world of "boutique" anything.
There is a guy named Dennis Fano that builds guitars called Novo or Fano guitars. I'm not sure what the differences are, but he's involved with both. Some of them look like a Telecaster, a Strat, a Jaguar, and a Rickenbacker had an orgy and somehow all of that DNA combined into one guitar. They're beautiful and unique and very nice and extremely expensive for what they are. They're like $2900 expensive for what is basically a Strat or a Tele with a Jagenbacker looking body. Totally dumb.

Re: Expensive - But I kinda like it
Thats pretty much just a Jnr... as such they are way over priced. Tell you what I'll do a "buy one get one free" for the same guitar spec..
Re: Expensive - But I kinda like it
Yup I see those all the time. Nice guitars. Too expensive. I think expensive is okay if you can get it back, and that really only applies to vintage gear.JD01 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 10:20 am Hmmm...

You need to hurry up and get yourself a used Gibson. Prices are going up on those things. I think people are seeing the impending doom on the horizon and the "good" Gibsons are becoming higher in demand. My uninteresting no-vintage-value 2011 Traditional is selling used for close to the same price I paid for it new. That's shocking.

I'd have got one about 3 years ago if I could play the fucking things.Greg_L wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 10:29 amYup I see those all the time. Nice guitars. Too expensive.

Mutt is right when he said a while ago I'm a picky bastard.
Re: Expensive - But I kinda like it
Nah, I said you were not as picky as others I do stuff for... I'm still in planning stage for that guitar I told you about. Thats nearly 5 months dithering now.. I know full well that just like the misses when she is shopping it will go right back to the first choice made...
Re: Expensive - But I kinda like it
Collings is well regarded in the acoustic arena with both their guitars and mandolins and thought of as fair value. Those considering a Martin, Taylor or Gibson acoustic would give the Collings line a listen.
I have not heard much concerning their electrics. The company has a good reputation but as Greg mentioned it is boutique and comes at a premium. But, there is nothing wrong with that if you like the guitar, can afford it and it brings you years of enjoyment.

Re: Expensive - But I kinda like it
Collings turns up a lot when im hunting for leftys. I quite like a lot of what they offer but id never pay that much for one.
JD have you ever looked at https://www.reverendguitars.com/guitars ?
Don't quote me on this but i dont think they cost anywhere near as much as the Collings line and there are alot of similarities with a few of each companies models.
I might echo Greg on the Gibson thing. My LpJr is now selling for quite a bit more used than i paid for it new. I really didn't anticipate that when i bought it. Which komd of stinks because my junior is my "everyday" guitar and it has some wear and had a rather unfortunate knock on the headstock. But of you can now would be the time to grab one if you wanted one!
Mine wasn't an investment guitar anyways so i dont so much. It is my primary noise maker and so it shall remain lol.

Re: Expensive - But I kinda like it
Yeah, I’ve seen reverands but I’ve not played on one. I’d like to give them Railhammer pickups a go for no other reason than they look cool.WhiskeyJack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2018 1:13 pm Collings turns up a lot when im hunting for leftys.
