Title says 90% or more…I’ve been looking at a few “Custom Made” S540 models, a S8820, JCS12, and I’ve even looked at some used RG8520s as well.
Everyone goes on and on about how great the older MIJ guitars (specifically RGs) are compared to the newer prestiges but not as much is mentioned about S bodies because they are a much smaller market. I’ve read the Prestige Vs JC threads and other than finishes and possibly a ball end preference it seems many feel a modern day JC isn’t crazy better than a prestige.
Soooo….I just wanted to take the temperature of that sentiment against the H&S/Custom Made S models compared to the new JC, both Fuji and Sugi are fair game for the comparison.
Being an Arkansas dweller my frame of reference is my S5570, my old S2620, an oddball SF470, a S5470 from GC, and a few 5120s.
Thanks in advance!
