Wayne Guitars

Re: Wayne Guitars

The carelessness of serializing appears to reflect some of the inconsistencies I have seen in Wayne guitars, too. I have played maybe 10 of these guitars and I noticed things like loose neck pockets, poorly finished fret ends, a crooked pickup ring on one, and paint defects. I did not pick up a good vibe playing-wise. On most the action was ok and the fret crowning seemed to be fine. No magic for me. For the money I'd get a GMW (or a GMW & 1/2 for the price of a new Wayne).

I wish Wayne had a little better quality control on the finished product.

Re: Wayne Guitars

The only reason I'd get a Wayne is to get a star, and considering what you guys have said I'd be a bit leery if I was seriously looking in to one.

You can get one from GMW for a grand less...

Re: Wayne Guitars

I have a couple Wayne replacement stratheads, and I like the profile a little better than my GMW. But the GMW is great too. How do the Warmoth necks compare to the Wayne and the GMW?

Re: Wayne Guitars

I personally Like both neck's Waynes and GMW's they are different which is cool... I like GMW's guitars and work they Rock!!!

Re: Wayne Guitars

Chuck ...NO COMMENT kinda like giving info on guitars you werent there to build.

mulder my wayne neck is round almost like warmoth boatneck profile. i havnt played any GMW necks but warmoth makes really nice necks. i prefer thinner SD "flatspot" type necks tho. so far the ST-3s IMO are the closest to that & its great because they are pretty cheap too. I hope to have GMW build me a guitar or 2 around SD C/J necks ive had for a while.

Re: Wayne Guitars

I picked up a rock legend a couple of months ago for under $700 on ebay. It has since become my favorite axe; the neck feels better every time I play it. It needed a fret dress when I got it, but since then it's been great. These are overpriced new, but if you can find a deal then grab one.

Re: Wayne Guitars

i have a rock legend - and i think the sun rises and sets by it. I also had a gmw, but the neck turned me off so i sold it (AWESOME graphics though), i have another one on order and can't wait to get it.

Re: Wayne Guitars

i've never played a wayne, but i have several gmw's, and personally i do not like how gmw grinds off half of the frets, makes a jumbo fret like a medium height fret, almost a c shape.
