Yeah I think I heard a soundclip of it once and it just sounded like the most useless fuzz imaginable.

EDIT: Not a guitar, but we need to follow conventions.

That's differently abled.
Should at least be Guitar Capy.

Also dear guitar thread,
Despite repeated attempts I played 7 shows in 7 days and broke not one string.
I hereby decree it is quite ok to follow soundguys home and provide them with a blanket party. I'm pretty sure it is in the Bible/Torah/Koran/Waffle House menu.

Those were in St Louis Mo, at a club called Fubar. We ended up playing in the lounge because 3 or 4 local acts cancelled. Fortunately Illicitizen travels with a complete PA so we actually had the same sound we practice w/. Also the photos were by a pro we hired for this gig (Peter Wochniak).

I KNEW that place looked familiar. I caught my brother's band playing there a while back. Also, I'm digging that finish on your Nitefly. Mine's just the barely-transparent red.

It saddens me to see instruments rot in museums, or display cases, or something.  They are meant to be PLAYED dammit.  I dream of an organization that collects guitars of rockers past and lends them out to the most worthy musician...

Babbling aside, I've been thinking of getting a Gretsch Electromatic Double Jet and replacing the pickups with Seymour Duncan DeArmond Dyna-Sonics.  Basically I want the best Gretsch sound I can get at a third of the price.

A new Peavey EXP signature series can be picked up for well under that.   Seriously... I have guitars that cost three times as much that aren't nearly as well put together.  Mahogany body, set neck with almost no heel, a full two octaves.   Really  a very nice guitar.    Caveat: Some people hate quilt tops (I don't) and it's a chunky--though very fast-- neck.   

There's also a variety of PRS SEs out there for about $700.  Though I don't think it's quite as nice as the Peavey, (huge heel, the nut on mine wasn't well dressed on the high E side) it's still a very nice guitar for the price, and I like the pickups a little more.  Plus 25" scale is fun.

I've never liked Peavy guitars all that much.  They use active pickups in many of their lines and bleh...

For ~$800 I always thought this was tits on ice cream.  Reso-glass top, and a peizo pickup.

I'm pretty sure I'm ordering one of these in the next couple of days. I  played one the guitar shop by my house that was cheaper than buying direct from Eastwood, but I didn't care much for the color.
Anyone have any experience with Eastwood's stuff?

Before you dismiss Peavey guitars altogether, try playing a t-60. Heavy as a boat anchor and built like a missile bunker, but it plays so beautifully. I found one in my friend's basement that belonged to his dad (who hadn't touched it in 10 years) and I think he had to pry the guitar out of my hands after I got ahold of it.

Personally, I just want my damn Squier back so I can get her a new hum-cancelled bridge pickup, solder it into place, and tune it to drop C. I only want to do this so I can play "The Background" by Third Eye Blind without fucking with my other guitars' tunings. That and a little metal from time to time wouldn't kill me. It'd help my chops, at least...

My exact opinion of 6-string basses.  5-string I can understand because it's basically the same as an extension on upright bass plus an extra semitone.
