Happy with either of those choices, as it means you won't be needing the Lowden for that purpose--or the Taylor.

Re: Slowy's Guitars
After some extensive Google searching, I can't see that anyone has done a sunburst casket.
Or a relic.

Next Up:
G&L Legacy in Belair Green. Born 19.03.2008
That's one thing 6 decades have taught; record the production details!
Despite its age, this arrived as a brand new guitar. I've had it about 18 months. It still had the plastic film on the pickguard
It's really interesting to put beside the '54 as a bookend comparison; Leo's first and last Strat designs.
I can't understand the lack of love. This thing is superb; a fuss free, professional stage tool. It sounds more like a vintage Strat than vintage Strats, but it plays with a thoroughly modern feel and extended tonal control. It's a great gigging instrument.
I've been saying of this, "When you've been building Strats for 60 years, this is the Strat you build."
But in truth, I'd always wanted an American G&L for a much different reason:
My Son is called Leo.
Yeah, I'm predictable.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Slowy's Guitars
G&L definitely don't get the love they deserve, that Fender on the headstock is just too attractive for most

Re: Slowy's Guitars
PRS SE ONE.
This little thing is so much fun! I've told the Troy/Jellybelly story before so we'll move on.
It's exactly what it said on the Tin; a basic, raw rocker that takes no prisoners.
I regularly ponder that I should have got a somewhat less hot Lollar for it, but it's savagery is what makes it fun. Really upsets the Old Folks.

Re: Slowy's Guitars
DUESENBERG STARPLAYER REBOUND
I Gass'd for a Duesenberg for ever. Met my first ones in that shop in Cuba Mall (I think) in Wellington. Help me out here guys.
Oleg was shifting two; this and an Outlaw that went to Molly. In hindsight, the Outlaw is still my favourite Doozy.
The striking thing about Doozys is the quality of everything; build, playability, tone, dynamics. Zey haf been Konstrukted by Chermans unt everythink iz akkurate to 1000th ov a millimeter. Jawhol!
This one has the Filtertron style pups so it's a bit Gretschy.
It's another superb guitar. But I've discovered it's not me. I'm a battered Fender guy. And when I'm not playing one, I wonder why. The Doozy has lots of tonal colour. It's a rewarding home player, would be an amazing studio guitar but in a band, I don't need that much subtlety and playing something as cosmetically perfect as this is just scary.
So does someone want to buy it?

Re: Slowy's Guitars
This is a special issue guitar, there are only a few in circulation. So it really should be in 'Wow, Rare, Collectable'.
And Doozy will sell you a trem to retro-fit, if that is your thing.

You will notice this is a 'Show Us Your Guitars' thread.
Nothing is for sale here.
......well almost nothing......"

Just teasing I've met most of these guitars, and owned 3 of them. Not a dud amongst them.

You're right - it is a great guitar, and the colour is gorgeous too.
I kind of wonder, if the guitar had a better looking trem, if would fare better against a fender strat? I can just live with the headstock shape, but the bridge is a 'bridge too far'

Re: Slowy's Guitars
But the trem works perfectly. And I'm never looking at it when I'm playing.
