I have my Tele, my Gretsch, and my Les Paul. The LP is very much a '70s Jimmy Page style LP so, although it can do metal if I really want it to, none of those are really metal guitars. I decided that I kind of wanted a metal guitar. I also kind of wanted a Strat style, but I simply cannot play Strats. The solution? Get myself a Super Strat which will scratch both itches! I checked some out at L&M and had my local store transfer in a Jackson that I quite liked (found at another local store, but they're douchebags so I always transfer from there to my store then purchase from them). But later that night I came across a Pro Series on Reverb.com that was available cheaper than what L&M was charging, and with free shipping. The seller also accepted offers, so I made a lowball offer of $999 just to see how they would respond. I expected them to tell me to fuck off, but to my surprise they accepted. And because they are in another province I only had to pay GST. I ended up saving about $550 over what I would have paid at L&M. So for the princely sum of $1050 this gaudy beauty is on its way from Winnipeg to me:  |

Congrats! Nice looking top on that! I don't normally like quilt tops, but this one is growing on me and I don't even have the guitar yet! |

I'll blame Colchar.  Metal guitar incoming. Unfortunately I have to wait three weeks. When I get this, my count is 12 guitars. I never ever imagine, that I could go over five...  |

I'll blame Colchar. Metal guitar incoming. My bad  Waiting sucks. I keep thinking I could get by with one or two really good electrics, and sometimes thin the herd a bit. But right now I've got six electrics - the Jackson from this thread, my Gretsch, my Tele, my Les Paul, an SG that is set up for learning slide, and an SG that I picked up a few weeks ago. I just got a set of Vineham pickups for that so it will be going to my friend the guitar tech this week so that he can rip out the circuit board then install new electronics, the pickups, etc. |

Unfortunately, it is the world we live in right now. I've been trying to get parts for an SG that my tech is working on and we've had to cannibalize other guitars for things as simple as reflector knobs. I think things will get much worse before they start getting better. |
