Colors were black, white, blue, red, black cherry. Would be nice to see something similar to that again.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling. -
They'd actually sell with a strathead this time.-------------------------

If they could pull off the BTO method with a small upcharge for reasonable colors, that would be terrific.
I just don't think that it worked out in 05 saleswise.Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day, set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.Comment

The pointies were assembled by the CS and are great guitars. I have two and bought both new for about $1500.00 each. Copperhead / Red Ghost FlamesComment

No doubt. They just didn't sell well. I remember being shocked by the sticker price on a Ferrari Red HSS Floyd and then shocked again when I saw the prices they were blowing them out for.Originally posted by Predator1 View Post-------------------------

I paid $1500 for my black Star, but I think they were going for a little more than that originally. I think they didn't sell very well due to price.Originally posted by BK View PostI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

$1400-1500 for a CS assembled guitar with extremely limited options would probably be a big winner. Suhr does it for about $1600 for the very nice pro series. That would be cool.Comment

I'd rather pay $1000 for a production line assembled guitar with extremely limited options.Breaking Point, my all instrumental CD available here:

They're attempting to meet in the middle which is a good thing. How good? It depends. if it's basically the same stuff put together by better people.......then who knows how it will be judged. it could cause a run on used pro-mods for half the price....again, who really knows for sure until we see the specs, and the build details.Why the hell doesn't Eddie pick up a goddamned guitar and play something?

I don't think their doing customs next. it will be either the same deal, only pointy necks this time, or maybe a dinky body series, or star. something along the lines of assembly line production guitars. my money is on several lines of pointy's next!Comment

Hopefully its a Semi-custom line. I would order one like this:
