bought ymself one of these today:[views:1700][posts:7]__________________________________ [Jul 28,2005 7:42pm - Niccolai ""] [img] Paid about $550 for this this afternoon. Can't wait for it to get here. ESP is apparently suverely backordered... hopefull I won't be waiting any longer than a few weeks. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 28,2005 7:59pm - KeithMutiny ""] its pretty, ill give ya that... |
| __________________________________ [Jul 28,2005 8:17pm - Niccolai ""] The neck is an 85, the camera flash made the holographic gold look silver. I'm going to swap it for another 81 though. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 28,2005 9:32pm - brian_dc ""] yeah, ESP is ridiculous right now...I've been waiting for mine since June 24th, I believe |
| __________________________________ [Jul 28,2005 9:32pm - brian_dc ""] but they assure me it'll be here in about 10 days |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 28,2005 9:42pm - Bradster ""] that's a sharp looking instrument, not my taste though. I think guitars have been looking totally gay ever since Paul Reed Smith got popular, everyone uses the flamed maple look, boooring. Give me a late 60's Firebird anyday...[img] |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 28,2005 10:12pm - Niccolai ""] It's not like everyone hasn't done a firebird spin either though. Guitar companies don't really have any room to experiment with anymore so you haveto accept the fact that since people like and buy figured maple that it will get popular. I might have gotten a different finish, but black quilted maple is the only option available. It boils down to quality too though, I bet the glue holding that firebird's wings on isn't alphetic resin. |
