What else is new for 2008?

[Of Angels]

So we've all seen the new Ibanez stuff, and most of us have probably seen the new ESP stuff (some of which is fantastic, I might add)...

...but what else is new for '08?

Post anything new that you come across :-)


P.S.: That includes...
Caparison
Schecter
Music Man
Fender
etc.

The new PRS's.

I know this is a guitar specific forum, but I'm dying to hear one of these Randall Lynch Box heads. That is one mean looking amp.

Schecter's got some cool guitars, already up on music ians fri end. I particularly like the stiletto; it reminds me of a vigier.

Fender has "new" American Standard Strats and Teles. I understand all the changes they made except for the high-gloss finished fretboards. Aren't they going to look like ass as you wear the finish off with playing the instrument?

I don't understand how Mike Mushok keeps getting signature guitars. I guess when a company wants to release a baritone guitar, they figure they'll sell more with someones name on it. Anyones.

On top of the that back of the necks now have thinner satin finishes - had a chance to play an 08 Tele a few days ago and it felt nice. The saddles are supposed to be higher quality to improve sustain, but it's tough to tell.
