Title: Should i.....
Post by: CaffeineJunkie on June 11, 2006, 04:18:17 PM: OK, i've been looking at the OLP Musicman guitars (particularly the axis replica).

I was wondering if selling my PRS and buying the OLP is a wise choice or if i should stick with the PRS....

Cheers

CJ

Post by: sambo on June 11, 2006, 05:04:37 PM: why not... i mean, you have a second guitar to fall back on... and the OLPs are cheap anyway so you wouldnt be losing THAT much money if you had to sell it on or whatever...

and they do look very nice for the money... dunno how they would actually compare to the tremonti though

Post by: CaffeineJunkie on June 11, 2006, 05:36:56 PM: well the tremonti and the LP are very similar (in that they are both hardtails with 2 HBs) so i'm gettin a bit bored of playing the same sort of things on both guitars, so i might do, was looking at the double neck 4 a short while, cept it doesn't have a wobble stick, does ne1 know if one can be fitted (at least to the 6 string)???????

Post by: namle on June 11, 2006, 05:56:45 PM: for me i would say keep the tremonti SE

my friend has a OLP bass replica

and i tell you he has trouble with the neck warp issue

the truss rod doesnt work perfectly
Title: Should i.....
Post by: CaffeineJunkie on June 11, 2006, 05:58:26 PM: thats probably because of the length of the neck on bass guitars

thas the natural one, ignore the price, i won't be getting it from there, looks a tad dodgy
Title: Should i.....
Post by: Searcher on June 11, 2006, 06:57:55 PM: You're right, that eBay one looks a bit dodgy. If people are gonna make a guitar with a natural or trans finish they should at least have decent-looking wood and not make it out of more than two pieces.

Oh, and when the seller is from China, those auctions are nearly all dodgy as well.

Post by: indysmith on June 11, 2006, 07:00:55 PM: yeah i like the natural one for sure.
http://www.edromanguitars.com/guitar/olp/olp_mod.htm -> this is worth looking at. I'm sure he could do the mod for you without the shitety duncan black/back neo-dynium pups for cheaper aswell...

Post by: Searcher on June 11, 2006, 07:04:09 PM: It might be ok, except for the fact that Ed Roman can be a loser and his sales staff are annoying.

Post by: JamesHealey on June 11, 2006, 09:48:20 PM: how about a 2nd hand Peavey Wolfgang the QT korean model? they go cheap on ebay and they're absolutly killer for the money.. better than OLP.
