If you had $8000, what gtr would you buy? [not J/C]

[BeholdTheFallen]

if i had $8000 id buy 50 of these...

[wilkinsi]

Not J/C? Bah! How could you NOT buy a J/C or three with that?

Since it has to be a production guitar, and it can't be a Jackson or Charvel, I would get a really high end jazz box. Either a Benedetto(namely the Benny) or a Gibson( a Byrdland or an L-5). Maybe they aren't production guitars per se, but they are readily available.

A Stephen Stern-built Gretsch White Falcon. Best guitar I've ever played.

5 or 6 RSguitarworks old friends.Couple of strats and a couple tele's and a Joe Perry admiral double cut.

If you had $8000, and you could only buy a guitar which was NOT a Jackson/Charvel, what would you choose?
The guitar can't be a custom shop order, it must be a readily available production model. (signature guitars, standard series, etc)

Can I purchase more than one?

1. Moser Custom Shop FastStar- neck-through, matte black finish, Floyd Rose (if he'd do one...)

2. B.C. Rich Custom Shop Warlock- neck-through, beveled body, diamond fretboard inlays, Floyd Rose, black finish, white binding, "Widow" headstock

3. Dave Murray signature Fender Stratocaster

That'd probably run more than $8000. Any combo of the two would do nicely.

Dusty old thread.



Which probably explains the absence of any mention of Magic Circle Guitars! A custom would run close to $8k. Tough to choose between the Heretic or Impaler shapes though - http://www.mcguitars.net/custom.html

HAHAHA! I love Manowar, but seriously...

That guitar would actually be cool if the rear "spikes" were thinner...

You think so? Maybe, but I think it would need more than that to rescue it. To me it looks like the silhouette of two crossed shoes. Plus ( and I didn't realise this until I saw Karl Logan playing it a few weeks back ) it's ENORMOUS.

To be fair, the other two, the Demonwing and Impaler ( below ), aren't too bad but the price is insane. Anyone dropping $4k+ on these things must have the Mano-madness.

That's pretty badass right there. It looks like it could be a B.C. Rich. I dig the guitar, but I could do without the spike behind the bridge. That just looks like an afterthought...

And with the change I'd buy my mint 1980 Les Paul Custom back.

Aren't those Manowar customs built by Ed Roman?
