I want to buy a piezo equiped guitar, i like petrucci's piezo sound on his musicman and want to get something similar, which could be the best-affordable piezo guitar??, i had a variax in mind but it's not piezo exactly, i mean it most be a simulation.

 

[extremist777]

Ibanez SA320X, VARIAX 300, or what ? Custom Strat maybe ? by the way is fishman better than L.R. baggs ?

My new Parker has an awesome piezo sound, but it's probably not 'affordable'. Maybe one of the lower end parkers? The nitefly maybe? Not sure if the piezo is the same on those.

Parker P-38

Edit: best of the lower-end guitars out there- oops

 

[vaijem777]

Rick Turner Model 1-C-LB. Incredible custom-made piezo setup and a steal at $3500 or so.

 

[extremist777]

Yeah, maybe the p-38 will be a good option, but i'ts a pain in my ribs...

I'd go for a 2120 or Parker over the EBMM Petrucci. When I played the Petrucci it didn't seem as nice to me as my Jackson Pro Soloist, and that cost a whopping $425. I'm not paying 1200 more than that just to get a piezo. I haven't played the JP7, but the JP6 has never struck as that big a deal.

I held a Petrucci EBMM a few weeks ago. It weighed about 86 pounds.
Yeah. At LEAST 86 pounds.

Try a USA Hamer Duotone or Carvin AE185. I had the Hamer and currently have the Carvin. They play and sounds great.

i recently bought an RG1620X. am loving it.

i have kinda been stuck in a lead-playing rut, but now i find the responsiveness of the piezo leads me to play new things.

 

[vaijem777]

I got yer 86 pounds right HERE, Kenny.

The EB/MMs aren't terribly heavy at all. Unless you've been stuck on a Fly lately.

As heavy as a Les Paul?

...or better yet one of those early 90s all maple Les Paul Studios?

I once played a 30th or 25th anniversary strat. Nice guitar but it was as heavy as a Les Paul...

 

[kennydoe]

I got yer 86 pounds right HERE, Kenny.

Yeah, well, ummmm...i'm not really into hairy bellies. But thanks anyway.

The EB/MMs aren't terribly heavy at all.

The Petrucci model is. Have you played one? It would break even you in two.

EDIT: TO CLARIFY...I AM SPEAKING OF THE PIEZO EQUIPPED MODEL

 

[red5]

Try a USA Hamer Duotone or Carvin AE185. I had the Hamer and currently have the Carvin. They play and sounds great.

I'm liking my DC127 a lot. Would be a good buy and well worth the price of a new one and not cost a fortune.

 

[jim777]

Yeah, I forgot the Carvins...I've never played one of their piezo guitars, but I love Carvins. I should price one..... :lol:

I wonder if I can get a guitar fitted with a piezo. I mean could I have my vwh with a piezo?
Maybe I should buy PIA from its new owner when I grow up that's practically one of the best guitars made.
Anyway I'd suggest RG2020X or the RG2027X. I shall get one or myself as soon as possible.

Lol, that is true BMs tend to leave one's wallet morbidly thin, but their playability is out of this world on the nicer ones. Now i just need to find a way to sell my soul so I can buy one...

I actually wanted to buy one. So I called my distributor here in Germany and they quoted me almost 4k € without the 13-pin option :lol:.
