You really can't beat the feeling of just having one nice guitar to play.

As long as it's clarified that I have a busted headstock Epiphone Les Paul Studio.

Factory Second.
Made of the best MDF of the planet. Filled with tone particles and melody glue.

Those are way better than anything Gibson USA puts out anyway - particle board is like a express train to TONE TOWN!!!

I don't hear anyone telling you what an expert they are. I only hear you chumming the waters and trolling.

Spend some time on the forum - then feel free to post pics in the appropriate threads - there's plenty of "Look what I got" threads out there.

Damn-man, why is it alway some guy with a Squire Strat and a busted headstock Les Paul Studio that goes all whacked trying to tell me how much of an expert he is..........?

Eddie... I'm just curious... Of all the guitars and the cases pictured above... How many of those do you actually own??? Looks like some kind of picture out of a music store... that or you never take the cases out of the house...
Not trying to start anything... But really...
I'm not ashamed to admit I own a Production Model, amongst others...
I bought the guitar to play... Frankly I could care less what the name say's on it, or were it was made... The Production model guitars play great, that is all I care about, and the reason I bought one

OK, maybe I'm thick headed..... but what point were you trying to inject into this thread? All I have seen is that you have pictures of guitars and talked alot of shit. Was your intent to boost your ego about spending silly money for overpriced guitars, well you've accomplished that..... great job. Glad you can afford them.

I for one quake in the presence of your $10,000 ++ collection. As my pitiful assortment of guitars doesn't even rank next to your mighty collection of high dollar fine instruments. Whoa is me.

Learn some humility asshole. There are some collection on this board that flat embarrasses yours.

WHoooaaa rubbernack....read the post. Besides, I haven't even started posting guitars yet. That's about 10% of my crap! I couldn't find the 'who's got the most gear thread and doesn't work at 7-11' thread. Maybe you should check the whole thread before you go all smashmouth there tough guy. Just relax and take a deep breath. There no need to get all upset. I'm sure the day will come when you could afford to have a few guitars....maybe or maybe not? That piss-ass attitude might be what's holding you back. Yah think?

Can we just clear one thing up? It seems a lot of you are confusing MAP (minimum advertised price) with MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price). MAP is the price that you can't advertise below.

According to a Fender sales rep himself - MAP and MSRP for the production models is the SAME NUMBER.

[joelayres]

I dont think anyone buys these expecting them to be an old charvel to collect or cherish forever. People buy these to play.

We have a winner - this guy gets it perfectly!

I've been saying all along that these are great guitars to take out and play. Why take your priceless original Charvels to a bar so some drunk can knock it over when you can use these instead? I have a couple original San Dimas era Charvels, and I swear that these do indeed capture the vibe pretty damn well. The necks are leaps and bounds above most instruments in this price group, and the whole package just works. I brought my prod model Tele home, fiddle-farted with it for about 20 minutes, put a set of 10's on it and it plays like a damn wet dream.

Personally, I think a lot of people spend too much time worrying about the so-called "quality" of their guitar instead of playing the damn thing. We grow older and more snobbish. To someone who cannot afford a 2.5K custom shop, these guitars are the answer - period - and I know a lot of people in that category who could probably out play most of the snobs.

Maybe it's just me but I'm feeling a lot of love in this thread right now. Can you feel it?

and at least one of those people likes the new ones and I believe owns at least 2.

[mudkicker]

Well, I guess I can sum it up like this, since you've asked.

You have the guitar player, who owns and plays lots of different types of guitars. I spent time with them, use them in all types of settings with all types of amps. I clean 'em, restring them, take them apart and look at the details.

Then you have your internet forum 'experts'. They see guitars on the wall at guitar center or they're buddys brother has one. They might even have even played one for 15 minutes with a worn down Twinamp over by Sam Ash.

I'm not saying Fatpicker is FOS, but at least I can put up the proof. I got the guitars, I play the guitars and I have the pics to prove it. Lot's of people are good at talking crap on the intaaaanet, not too many know how to stop pussyaching and listen.

yep threads over........

Sorry... what exactly are you "proving?" That you have some PRS's? Wow - you win.
