Celtic Showmaster any good?

MF has them for dirt cheap, thinking about getting one, does anyone know anything about them?

Oh man...I LOVE that guitar. Plays well, looks awesome, sounds cool. I just wish I had the cash!

I played one at a local music store. Seemed pretty nice for the money. I'm not sure what the stock pickups are in it, but they sounded pretty decent.

Well, I've got my trem guitars, I've just been looking for something hardtail to play drop D stuff with. The Celtic looked pretty cool.

wouldn't an esquire gt be better?
it is the same price but comes with a duncan invader standard instead of the fender pickup.

Well I just ordered one of the GT's last Wednesday and it arrived Friday. For $299.00 I couldnt beat it. I spent the whole weekend putting it through the wringer. As far as quality for $299.00 the only issues I found were a slight bleed through of the crimson paint through the white stripe. Setup was excellent and tone, sustain are great. Lots of harmonics on this baby, probably due to the invader. Tuners seem solid and saddle appears stable. Fretboard is clean, no cracks, Frets are good and dont protrude, no sharp edges. Overall for the price I would give it a 10. It's exactly what Ive been looking for. Now all I have to do is decide what to do with my DKMGT. It would be a sin to leave it locked away in its case. Anyway, for a Korean import the Fender is a step up in quality.

Re: Celtic Showmaster any good?

you guys are fuckers! I just bought a blue one. I went into a local store today to get some headphones and they had a blue one and the guitar guy said he'd do the MF price. So naturally I have no self control and bought it. It is very cool.

I was looking at the scorpion model yesterday. I think they are a killer in looks, but I would swap out the pick up.

Re: Celtic Showmaster any good?

Do they have any equivalent basses? I am trying hard not to buy the one hum trem model. I have too many axes as is and just don't need it, but i don't have any basses.
