Tradition - Michael Batio gold top les paul

[mudkicker]

Has anyone here ever played one? A local store has new one in a scratch and dent sale 1/2 off. I had the kids with me so I didn't get to plug it in. This store carries a lot of cheap Johnson, off brand Washburns. I have never heard of tradition guitars so I hoping someone here has. Are they decent or junk like the Johnsons?

Gold Top

Re: Tradition - Michael Batio gold top les paul

Is that a bolt on?

Re: Tradition - Michael Batio gold top les paul

Yep bolt on neck

Re: Tradition - Michael Batio gold top les paul

Les Pauls should NEVER have a bolt on neck! Its just plain WRONG.

The Les Paul bolt on neck is still not as lame as someone that endorses a guitar that there is no fuckin' way in hell they'd play.

I agree 100% Tim. He is a great player but he looks like a tool pushing guitars that he never plays.

So is he no longer with Dean? I thought he was at the Dean booth as recently as Winter NAMM 2005. Oh, here we go:

Re: Tradition - Michael Batio gold top les paul

He's been with Gibson, Wayne Charvel, Washburn, Tradition, and Dean. He's almost as bad as Paul Stanley...........

Re: Tradition - Michael Batio gold top les paul

So, is that an old endorsement deal with Tradition, then? Or does he have multiple deals with Dean and others at the same time?

Al Jourgenson. Yeah, that was a weird guitar he had. Almost looked like a Dean Caddy.
