new soloist

[general yo]

I am diggin the blue one.
With guitar center's 15% off cupon, will be getting this for about $599.
In 30 years, it will be sought after as the model 6 is today
Only problem is I will be 80.

Check with Matt (Matt's Music), he might be able to give you the best price you can find, coupon or no. I highly recommend the guy, and he sponsors JCF.

Might be a good guitar even if its made in China.
My DS-1 is rock solid guitar so if these are anywhere close go for it.

[tonemonster]

that is awesome. the only thing I dont like on them is there is no tone control. its not a deal breaker by any means but it wouldnt have cost them much to put it on there. plus its easily remedied. If you get one, please tell us how it plays and sounds!

and I second that.

Wow, I would have checked Matt's, but found one in stock, and orderd it already.
Got $105 off.
Only paid $595 with free shipping.

Will get it early next week, and will let you know how it plays.
EMG 81, with neck thru... cant be bad.

[SausageofPower]

No worries. I always try and push Matt, since he's always been good by me. Plus, the guy helps this place exist, which is always a plus.

Take plenty of pics and let us know how it is. I might check locally and see if I can find one to play. I don't know if I can get past all the abalone, but I love a Soloist...

[general yo]

I will see how it compares to my '06 USA SL1.
Also with my old '87 model 6, the old import soloist.

I like the abalone inlay against the trans blue...
Especialy around the head stock.

[SausageofPower]

Hm, this one minimalizes the abalone at least. Maybe I'll call Matt sometime and see what kind of deal I can get:

Interesting. I'm not crazy about the abalone, but I just realized the inlays are not pyramids... they're actually opposing sharkfin inlays!

Yea, The kid in me wants it.
Ive never been one to act my age.

In 30 years, it will be sought after as the model 6 is today

And the Model 6 will be like gold

[Accept2]

They look awesome, but I'm not sure the wood will last the 30 years.............

[axmann]

Don't store it in the shed with the lawnmower and it will be fine.

[moku]
