The Official Guitar Thread

I got my Suhr last night and am completely blown away by it. Craftsmanship is on another level from anything ive ever played. Tone on every single pickup configuration is distinct and beautiful with tons of options with humbucker/single coil push pull. I have a '99 Gibson Les paul that is very sentimental to me, i saved up money earning $4.75/hr working on a farm and bought it when I was 15 years old. I am really having a hard time trying to figure out a reason to ever play it again. Suhr just blows it away in every category. Im actually thinking about trading it in on a Suhr blonde tele or a PRS McCarty 594. Ive battled for 20 years trying to get my LP standard to stay in tune and I'm about done with it.

From the research I did on the higher end non Fender strats it seems like G+L, EBMM, Suhr, and James Tyler seem to have the best consensus of their respective price ranges. Tom Anderson and PRD Silver Sky seem more hit or miss. Suhr was the one I felt the most comfortable ordering without playing first.

Nice to hear you are loving it. I've been eye balling the Music Man John Pertrucci collection lately, man they look nice.

Yeah I want one too. The 7s are one of the top 7s you can buy

I mean from what I hear, can't play them anywhere

The music man 7s are nice. I couldn't get past the lack of a floyd though. It had locking tuning keys, but I still had trouble with my g string staying in tune after some sick bends.

Yeah im pretty big on floyds, especiallly Ibanez lo pro edges

It's crazy how accurate piezos sound. Friend has a PRS with one.

The Ibanez rg 2020x has it. I think any rg x has it. Almost bought one

Only thing I never liked was separate input Jack's. I guess you can just send the piezo to a Roland jc120 or something

I bought a Mesa mark V a few months ago thinking that would be the last amp i needed. Now i find myself wanting a Friedman BE50 Deluxe, cause you know, I need that marshall tone. WTF is wrong with me?

I traded probably around 50 amps before I found the one I liked the most

So it happened. I went in to the local music shop today to change out the pickups on my les Paul. I went with SD ‘59 neck and a Pearly gates bridge. But then on the wall I see one of the nicest PRS 24-08 10 tops I’ve ever seen. I really couldn’t pass it up. Got a good deal I think at $3,550 plus tax. Was trying to get good pictures but it’s difficult with my phone camera. So pleased with these last two guitars I got and I’ll keep them until the day I die and then they’ll go to my nephew.

Yeah I can't imagine blasting ,3500 on a whim
