Don't get me gassing for these again!

It's got to be Honey though.

Have you tried one?  I was really impressed the way it was a bit like having a Tele and LP in one.....

I so very nearly bought one of those a while ago.  They were absolutely perfect for me ..... except the nut width was just a smidgeon too narrow for me - at 42.5mm.  For that money, it's got to be perfect !

If tha't's fine for you (and it is for most people) then I'd say go for it - superb guitars !

I particularly love the headstock BTW - classy !

I also fell in love with the Deusenberg Double Cat - just a lovely instrument !

I prefer the old Doosy Rocket I with symetrical wings. From before Gibbo's lawyers ruined it.

Too bad I can't find a decent pic of the Rocket I with Bigsby.

Post by: Philly Q on January 13, 2009, 09:31:12 PM

I don't like the way the Bigsby (or equivalent) is attached to the body.  It looks a bit rickety - not to mention uncomfortable.  Although I guess it is pretty cool in a Lonnie Mack kind of way.
