Maybe the pearloid......

I've had to eliminate a couple because they have the cutout for the truss (which I do NOT want )

Travel guitars if nothing else are fun. And I've had a few where they were very entertaining to have. However the issues I've always had with them are always the same.... Build quality.

While I do have the fundamentals of guitar tech down. I really don't like having to replace switches, jack plates, cleaning up the frets, and sometimes even replacing the frets changing the tuners and all the other things associated with low grade throw away travel guitars.

one odd-looking thing about that is that it appears to have 23 frets...

Sold! Finally, no more pesky high E note when doodling.

sorry Incubus, I didn't get that-
it was a pickguard you bought?
Does that help with knocking E?

23 fret guitar.......standard tuning......no high E........bwah ha.....bwah......

Yeah, it was a lame joke.

@pickguard, yep, turning my murican deluxe into a "real" strat "hihi:

Chiqita are a banana farmer over here-so something about being able to bend the rest of them still

I hope that's not this case. Mark Erlewine is making these again so I'm expecting some reasonable attention to detail. It's not exactly a cheap guitar.

I have a Washburn Acoustic Rover which I love playing. I know it's not the greatest sound but considering the portability it is a fantastic instrument. I love it and take it whenever I go away.

Every-once in awhile someone in the market does exactly that. Makes a higher quality short scale guitar. Ibanez is also doing that with it's mikro series.

If you look at the numbers there is no way they could sustain sales at the prices they are selling these for. But if you think about it as a long term investment in sales ...then it's a win. Kid gets a nice guitar that's easy to play, falls in love with the brand and sticks with them.

Here's a bit of a pisser. I haven't played my p bass in quite some time. But the strings are all discolored in a really bizarre way

They sound "ok" so I shouldn't be bothered, but I am.

nix808 · Post by **nix808** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 3:47 am

mmm- so expensive to change.

I have a 6-string bass,
and haven't got around to restringing it EADGBE-
I have the strings.
It's BEADGB.
It's shameful of me how short a time I have spent playing- truly badass Ibby

Yup. And these were EB "cobalts" which are almost twice as much

I want flatwounds. REALLY REALLY want. But the last set was at least twice as high in tension and were miserable to play.
