NAMM time!
« on: January 13, 2011, 09:20:08 PM »
As news is beginning to spread around the net about the launches has anything caught your eye?

Christopher Broderick dumping Ibanez and moving to Jackson is very interesting, mainly because he feels very badly treated by Ibanez taking his signature model ideas and putting them into non-signature products thereby cutting him out of his due percentage.



I was also intrigued by this fat necked and very different new Jackson Phil Collen model...

Even on the video you can tell that neck is absolutely humongous!

I'm finding the PRS Signature LTD strangely appealing...

Hmmm, I'm not crazy about the look of the pickups on that PRS.... I hope they're not planning to put strangely-shaped pickups on all models!


(Not that I'm planning to buy any more PRSes, so it's pretty irrelevant to me!!!  :lol: )

Seems a very versatile guitar and a nice looker.

I think that particular PRS would look better with the trem option - it just seems to suit the "HSS" layout and five-way switch.

My thoughts exactly Phil - I might have to pop down to a dealer once they're in stock and try one versus my Swamp Ash Narrowfield...

A trem would indeed make all more elegant.

Hmm, somehow I start to get bored by the PRS shape. That is after >20 years craving for it. Still love my Mc Carty though.

I prefer the Mira shape to the regular (Custom) PRS shape, but mainly because it's smaller and more LP-Jr-like.

I also wish they hadn't semi-retired the Singlecut shape.  I'd like to see it with lots more pickup/control/bridge options, rather than just the "Les Paul copy" it's ended up as.

Just looking at the PRS site, I see they've done another "baby seal cull" on the range.  Goodbye Mira X and Starla X  :( .  And I still can't believe they axed the Custom 22.  The new "Pattern" neck shapes are confusing me too.
