Sometimes it's not the one you want.

Post by Slowy »

Long ago, I walked into a music store in Cuba St and met my first Duesenbergs. Was very impressed but they're way above my pay grade. I keep looking at them and dreaming. Molly's Outlaw Starplayer is my idea of Doozy perfection.
They also have the only wobble stick in the world I can live with.

This one recently came to visit me:

No wobble stick :(
Clownburst. I hate clownburst!
Odd, look it has Filtertrons :problem:

Then I played it. It was immediate love. It's got a beautifully balanced tone. There's very few electrics I can fingerpick successfully without a compressor. This one I can.
I handed it to a mate with powerful chops and strong opinions, "Fuck that's ugly!"
Several minutes of intense wailing later he blinked, looked up and asked, "How long have I been playing this?"

It's that kind of guitar.

And thanks to the esteemed Mr. McNoleg and our successful negotiations, two years worth of birthdays and Christmas's have all come at once. This is actually a NGD post.
The latest member of Slowy's herd. :D

Yes, fatal mistake that. I must the say PRS Hollowbody through my Dr Z did sound heavenly.

Oh well, I got the EJ Strat back. That was a win. Now if I can just sell the CS Strat, I’ll be right.

I hear you, the trems on Doozys are the best part. Bet it's amazing though. You know a guitars good when it goes against what you think you want but still seems to call out to you

Clownburst! I hear you, I've played some clownbursts that were amazing and it was very confusing.

Happy NGD!

Looked this morning. Available on the Doozy website. Probably about $400 landed. Maybe sometime later. Will get used to it first but a useable wobble stick is pretty much the only thing missing from my guitar pallete now.
