Re: 2005 NAMM Report


Yes, not great ones, they weren't exactly easy to take pics of. I'll get them up later today but they are online

The guitar faces were painted in either a silver pearl or a simul chrome and then the designs were on clear mylar. It was well understood they were just proto's and not what the finished product would be. [the mylar was peeling off the IC already]

And before anybody says anything else about prices, here's what a cool $40,000 can buy you. Limited to 40 of course.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


The H.R. Giger RG looks great! Something different, very nice. Ibanez Prices are not that bad in todays times, when you go out and look at 10 other major brands quality and lack there of in the same price range/ features, play them plug them in, feel the ones with trems, ouch, they don't even compare!

Now as for the new mirror Jem, $3100? Is there something im missing about it? Very boring on the inlay side of things, yet it does look cool, however more than a VWH? Does it come with a custom case and some xtra's?

Over all the new line this year is killer, serious and classy with some creative stuff, I give them a thumbs up!

Wrap me up 3 of those please.
PRS are so far their own ass - it's not even funny......although it is....
The new jem is a bit overpriced considering features but there are quite a few people that are exited about it so clearly some like it and don't mind the price.
Can't see it outseling (or outlasting for that matter) the VWH though.

Just found out that the local store here ordered one of these.
Atleast I'll get to noodle around on a $40,000 guitar.

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


This is pretty off topic but....Rich I was just browsin your site and went to the feedback section and started readin some of the 'feedback' left for you, and I couldnt stop laughing at these people They'd start an argument, you tell them its not a forum, they continue, you tell them again, they do it again, you delete their post AND tell them again,They post useless links and wish everyone a happy newyear. funny as hell




Sorry

Re: 2005 NAMM Report


Well, if you were a PRS fan, you'd be bitching and moaning about the decision to price them at $40k, and the absurdity of limiting them to 40. That doesn't sound familiar to anybody does it?
