Hiya, if I were to get a new guitar - Devries or Suhr or Vigier and why?

  Devries Guitars Wheres Katie    10 August at 02:49   Report 
ok..hows this...recently i was in a show down with an ESP $6000 custom guitar against my Immortal $1500 in a studio recently...both guitars had a similar lead sound but mine had a chunkyier rythym sound.I have heard about shur..apparasntly their biggest name is a player from whitesnake?

well one of the original players from whitesnake..Adrian vandenburg ordered one of my guitars...most of my clientes are professional and i have about 8 clients who all have had world wide number 1 hits over the years.

another thing that might interest you..was that a while ago penthouse ran a 6 page article on the most sought after guitars from both the players view and collectors view..they interviewed some of aus best and worlds best players..and my guitars were the only guitar from the modern era that made the list.If u have any questions just ask. Eric

So it's going to have a Firebird headstock?  This is the most unique Esquire ever.

I once dared think in a firebird neck on a strat or VIP body, but never on a Tele, congrats, that's a hard shot!

It's Wez's 'inspired by Firebird' headstock. I asked for a Firebird headstock with straight string pull and with the machine heads in the normal place rather than toward the center like a Firebird. Yep, it's gonna be unique! It's going to look wild with the ebony fb with no inlays  :lol:

also, firebird headstocks are friggin huge!!!


i did some comaprisons for lew a little while back, firebird neck on tele body:


mine i still a bit bigger than a strat/tele but much more in proportion.  only just fits though :)

some of you may notice the dark section at the front of the floyd route.  The tele pickup route just extended into  this area.  not a structural issue but clearly it would have looked a bit daft so we did a full plug of that area before rerouting just to be thorough.  that bits getting a bit more sonic blue at the moment
