Your next guitar?

[Ian B]

I like the slim body, is it a true neck-thru?

No, from what I can gather it's a just a very different way of joining neck to body to give easy access to the upper frets.

my new ESP is quite similar (but it is a nck-thru) and I can testify that it works, my warmoth has an angled heel joint as well and it is far more comfortable as well

I'm seldom that far up the neck for comfort to really matter

you would love the Daion then, when sitting it sits in the lap for me in such a way that playing the upper register is not as comfortable as other guitars, but the lower register is awesome. Come to think of it, that's probably more due to my fat gut

I have small hands so I love the contoured heel joints, when I play my tele baritone I really notice it because it's so thick and no contour. (it also weighs a ton)

It's similar to what Fernandes does:

The Fernandes provides way a tad more functionality but that Feline looks better. Is the Feline a flat top?

I don't know tbh Eric, I haven't looked that closely at the specs/feature list, just drooled over it.

[Ian B]

Feline are rather good but for the price not for me. Never heard or read a bad word about thier builds Ian mate, they always adverise in GuitarBuyer. That one you have come across looks superb

Much less of a case of not for me Dean, at those prices more one of never for me, but I can dream.

Yeah i am good thank you hibidy mate
Sorry to hear that the ibby went back/had to go and i do hope you find that Charvel someday man

My next guitar -

Is entirely custom-built. Custom pickups and electronics. MIDI.
And other 'top-secret' elements that I'll post a picture when it's completed.

I'm flying out next weekend to check out the form-fit-function on the prototype built out of plywood.

Seriously looking forward to getting the real-deal in about a month!!

Doubt that i will ever spend over £1000 on a guitar, The quality of the stuff for well bellow these days is most of the time excellent. I can understand how some player's can easily shell out £2000+ plus but i do not require the subtle nuances that make a big difference for such player's for my needs/style Ian As the pickups will 9 out 10 times be replaced with active humbuckers and basswood is enough with mahogany and alder being the 'exotic tonewoods' on a few guitars i own nothing fancy as long as the neck is good and that is most of the time a bolt-on maple job i find works best for me, Then i can make it/mod it to work

£2300 is a whole new half stack and pedal board plus alot of spare change for me! I do need to purchase some pickups for some of my guitars which are not seeing as much use as i have not got around to dropping in my own choice yet

So i am agreeing with you/I look but don't touch

people are getting point about [name withheld to avoid redundancy] guitars....seriously, that esp ltd I just bought at 600 usd is an amazing guitar. This is no way an attack at hibidy or 'ibby' but he bought the prestige and honestly I do not know how much he paid but I assume it was more that 600 usd and obviously he was less than satisfied. Now I did have a chance to play a different guitar that was the same model first when I bought the esp so I knew how it would feel but I swear this one feels even better.

Before September of 05 (I know the date because we hit a scratch ticket for 10k) I never paid more than $500 for a guitar. But then I bought my Ovation which was $549, in 06 or early 07 I bought the Jackson Kelly and if I recall correctly I think that was about $900 at the time.

As you know the baritone total cost was around 500 dollars and that included the price of the tele and the neck (but I did have all the spare parts I needed). FWIW with my stereo concept when I modded my old esp ltd it had one PA2 (EMG pre-amp) in it and the baritone had one. I took the pre from the the baritone and put it in the esp so each output would have it's own pre-amp (when using the guitar in 'mono' mode the second pre is bypassed). I ordered two more of the artec QDD2 pres for the baritone and put them both in similar fashion in the bari (It's stereo now too, but no p-bass pick up yet). The QDD2 is a five position rotary switch with five flavors of gain, plus it has a trimpot that's is global.

Hey, I know what you mean. The only thing is the prestige I got back in august is SWEET! I mean, it's really a jewel so I expected with the "prestige" name it would be the same. It wasn't a POS or anything but once I started personalizing it I just kept noticing little issues and one day it's like "f**k this!"

So now my strat is my "hard tail" which isn't a bad thing, but it's a really weird neck after being used to the super glide of the prestige (or even the indo)

btw, are graphite nuts supposed to have the strings catch and be difficult to tune ?????/?//??????

[benjamind]

Next guitar?

WIVI Guitar, to be sure. They just released an iOS WI Guitar and from the youTube videos the sounds is just superb.
