Another horse to the stable. Gretsch G8424TG White Falcon. It's the Pro Shop Billy Duffy model that's a '76 replica even with white lacquer paint. Original '76 wiring/switch layout, hand wound Blacktop Filter'tron pickups. Only 200 made and hand signed. As typical with Japanese Gretsch guitars, the setup was perfect. Sounds like a beast and takes some finesse to control.

Been thinking about a new Fender thinline Telecaster. First world problems. Fender American Profession II Thinline Telecaster has a decent price, not a fan of the 3 color options at all. Shell pink, surf green and Daphne blue. Also odd the price is cheaper from Fender than Sweetwater.
Of course I can get a custom shop thinline tele journeyman relic for the low low price of $5k. Umm pass. But it does weigh only 6 pounds.

Does one have the OD-3? I’m wondering what the sound profile is like. I’ve been trying videos but not really sure. They didn’t have one at guitar centre to try.

I had a schecter.c7 sls elite guitar and the quality was way above its price points. Schecter has been making nice stuff the last few years

Im still working on my kit one I bought. I had to redo the finish on it. I had a boo-boo when I tried another clear coat then the brand of the paint, so the paint all curled up underneath the clear coat. So I sanded it all down and repainted the color and then applied a few coats of the RIGHT clear. Then I got busy and never had the time to finish it all. Now I have to do the sanding 1500 grit to 3000 grit then do the polish. But next summer for sure. The neck is all set. Finished with a stain and then clear coat applied. Looks really good.

Ordered this. I have a 2420 and this is a 5420. Not a Chet Atkis but has a Chet vibe to it. The one I picked was the darkest orange they had.

Picked this up on a holiday sale since I had a pretty good year at work. PRs S2 24 standard satin finish. I’ve been looking at these since they upgraded the electronics last year. Not as flashy as one of Noodles hotrods.
Played great out of the box. Only had to lower the action a tad.

Dude I've kind of been drooling over PRS recently and not even the expensive ones. I think they put out great guitars.

Same, every SE I’ve seen has been good. I picked up an SE parlor guitar to sit in the living room a few years ago. Great little guitar for $300.
Someone at work brought in SE 277 baritone with an evertune that got donated to their church. Great resonant sound to it, even though I wouldn’t know what to do with one right now. Almost made an offer on it because they were selling it for sound booth equipment funds.
