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

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

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)???????

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

CaffeineJunkie · « **Reply #4 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

Searcher · « **Reply #12 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.

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...
