Guitar suggestions - is there anything I should try next?

[Tellboy]

It's always been my impression that the PRS tremolo is probably the best unit out there for people who don't usually like tremolos... if you see what I mean.  :lol:

I'll agree with this. The 6 point PRS trem on my CU22 is my fave trem unit of anything I have.

+1 - And they stay in tune very well. Only gripe is that they seem to almost weld the springs into the trem block. I would like to fit a Tremol-No on my Studio but can't budge the springs out of the block.

Sounds like I am too late...

I was going to suggest one of these:

Worth watching just to hear one of the guitarists trying to string two words together!

I'm sure those are great guitars, but..... I can't understand why they've stripped away so many of the features which make the SG2000 so distinctive (ebony board, through-neck, proprietary hardware and pickups etc).  And then they charge extra for it!

Phil - I agree - the originals were stunning guitars. Mind you, I am sure that the fact that Phil X also plays one is not a plus factor either!

PS - I use to play in guitar workshops with one of the guys in the Treatment (on the left) - really good player even when he was a teenager

Oh god yes, I'd forgotten Mr X has been using them!  :o 

I do still want an SG2000, one day.

I've considered one in the past but think that the weight and price would put me off now. If I did ever go for one I would go for a P90d model.

I had an old SG700 in winered. Sounds great (coilsplit too), weighs a ton and therefore not a guitar I would/could play the whole gig (which in my band is usually 3 to 3,5 hours). Nevertheless, great guitar with superb acces to the higher frets.

I've just realised that up to now I've broken "Fernando's law" - here's a pic to show it DID happen  ;)



I've got to say this is a very good guitar.  Very good indeed...

[FernandoDuarte]

:P

Looks very good! Great that you like it!

[sgmypod]

Is it a PRS?

Eh?  :? :P

I seem to have manouvered myself into a position where I only buy PRS electrics now.....

Well you seem to like 'em so where's the harm?

That's a very pretty guitar. I do like a Gold Top. The DGTs and McCarty's are the PRSs that turn my head most I think and I do like Mr Grissom's tone a lot.

[Twinfan]

Yeah, he's a superb player.  Clearly deserves his place as one of the top Nashville guys.

Nothing wrong with that, although it is an expensive business!  :lol:

I'm quite relieved that my GAS only runs to the cheaper PRS models.... although I seem to be creeping ever closer to that dangerous £2k mark with some of my more recent guitar acquisitions.
