I liked the Flatroc best

I don't understand. None of these guitars are stratocasters or telecasters.

Might I take this time to make a mention of a guitar you may also like?

Cool! I was considering them but they are more expensive and I fear it's style is similar enough to steal the limelight of my Tele

I liked that most at first too. But I'm wondering if that is similar-ish to a Telecaster (on cowboy steroids)

They're different, with different pickups. It matters what you like and what tone you're after.

Yeah, but how different? (The ultimate question haha)
It seems like the P90s are meatier than minhumbuckers so I guess that could offer a wider variety in my arsenal? Ideally I'd have both :/
I'm really gassing for the Flatroc for no apparent reason... The minhumbuckers seems so cool

Out of those, the 390 appeals to me, most, since I could use the middle position for a dummy coil...

Aha, personally noise Isn't too big of a problem for me. I think my biggest favorite/bug about the 390 is the 3 pickups. Heaps of tonal varieties I s'pose... But then I'd rather have all the moving space I need :/
After playing all my guitars I actually want a Maple fretboard now. So I guess that's out actually

I liked the Warhawk 390 the most. Hopefully it's not as head-heavy as the reverse body Firebird - that's what you get when you let a car designer design guitars. He will never have to play them so he will never be bothered by unbalanced guitars.

Argh! 3 votes Warhawk, 1 vote Flatroc, 1 vote ClubKing... Daum...
I think I'll have to do the "which would you least want to miss out on test". But then I wouldn't know :/ The Warhawk looks the most interesting but the Flatroc and Jetstream look simple and safe bets. Then again I don't have a semi hollow. Then again I'm not big enough to play one I think

I think whichever I get I'll like. Oh btw these are all Korina guitars so I was wondering if I got a Flatroc for example, it has a maple 25.5" neck and Revtrons. So is that kind of a mix of Fender, Gibson (Korina is like mahogany), and Gretsch?
