Title: NGD
Post by: Jamie on April 11, 2012, 01:23:33 PM
Well the 80s pink bengal is going to go on hold for a while, but since it is my birthday in a few days I have decided to

treat myself (you are only 23 once). Going by the recommendations of some of you guys the result of my purchase is

this...

I did quickly try the guitar out for 30 mins or so which resulted in me writing a fairly long review of the guitar, but for some reason I was kicked off and I really cant be arsed to write it out again, so heres the summary of the 30 minutes playing using smiley faces

 :(   :(   :(   :(   :)   :)   :D   :D   :D   :D   :D 

I will eventually write some sort of review for it again because as you can see the smiley faces depict a bit of dissapointment towards the start, but by the end I was very happy, although there are still some negatives. The guitar is going away until the 17th and it has given me something to look forward to.  :D

Good choice, they are very very good guitars. I would have one myself but me + floyd rose = annoyance. They have the perfect neck for that shred/hard rock thing.

Always a pleasure to see a no nonsense hot-rodded Strat. Good choice.

Not quite my cup of tea, but it's gotta be better than that Kramer you were talking about!  :D

I am slightly in the Philly camp here but nevertheless the colour is great. I am not a fan of the black hardware though I don't know what I would do to change it if it were mine. I do like the idea of a  humbucker equipped S type even though I am normally a traditionalist. I have played a similar(more traditional)  version and it was a great guitar to play and was well set up.

I must be getting younger... I quite like this :lol: (apart from the huge bridge contraption, still can't get over those, but that's kinda part of it, isn't it? :roll:) - not sure what my own strats will think of me...

Nice one :D. It will be interesting to hear the fuller review.

Specification wise I agree, visually though.... debateable!  :D

I have had a few sneaky plays on it though since I got it and it does seem to be getting better and better!

Love it. was thinking of getting the white one before I went for my Fender Corgan sig. I decided floods are just too much hassle for the amount I use them. They look like really great guitars though. :)
