G&L tribute rampage

[markD]

so, i am looking for a new drop D guitar and the jerry cantrell model caught my eye. it has many of the features i like in a drop D guitar - maple body, wide fretboard, single pickup/knob. i was wondering if anybody has played one. i am interested in how fat the neck is. i like a baseball bat for drop D....

any comparisons you can give me on thickness would be awesome.

I played one of the tributes. It had a thick neck but it wasn't a baseball bat like a ridiculous les Paul or no-caster. Felt good. Great playing guitar. I quite liked it though the cheap-o Kahler felt like it.

Hey Mark I think there is one at the Nashville GC that I was looking at. If I remember correctly it had an ebony fretboard and was white? I'll be in Nashville again next week and can give you a report then.

[markD]

[DonP]

I'll be able to give you a report next Monday night.

Always loved the look of them. Chris Olson owns a couple of those. Pics are gone, though. http://www.jcfonline.com/threads/106...hlight=rampage

Yep.

Great guitars. Necks were way too good for the price point. I ended up selling when I was hunting down Charvel WDM's and my AxeFx.

i sold my custom shop charvel dinky to buy an engagement ring and it was my main drop D guitar. it has the same neck thickness of a PC1. how does the rampage neck compare to that? i would be surprised if it was close, but if it was that would be killer!!!!

Ah, didn't know you sold them. I never really cared for Kahlers, but I do like the maple bodies and 1 hum/1vol setup.

The Rampage neck shape is more like an old-school Charvel neck. It's not pointy shredder thin but it's not thick by most standards - certainly nowhere in the ballpark of a PC1. They are very nice guitars but if the neck thickness needs to be in that range then I would look elsewhere.

[markD]

ok, thanks. that answers the question.

Mark,

Sorry dude but the G&L was gone. I asked Chuck (the guy I deal with) and he said it was gone. Did you get it online?

[markD]
