Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

Eastwood pisses me off because they make things nobody else does, then they overcharge. It's just mass-produced Asian stuff...nothing they make should be over $300. I want one of these, but not at $849. http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/GTRs/messenger/images/gtr_Red-messenger.jpg On the other hand, GFS...

I've tried to talk myself into one of those...even done photoshop layovers with the different pickguard...it just doesn't do it.

Plus, one of the things I like about the original is that they are big guitars. I like big guitars.

Re: El Toro's Official Guitarded Thread...

why did it have slanted frets? What's the purpose of that? It supposedly matched the "natural" angle of your hands when playing. It ACTUALLY was just a retarded idea that is really annoying as you get up the neck. Rickenbacker has a long history of fucking up good guitars with really stup...

That's actually a Greco (you can tell by the "G" tailpiece) made by Ibanez...(I think...it also has an Ibanez truss rod cover...it gets confusing in Japan in the '70's) The greco model was the RG550. http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/discus/messages/13/1003881.jpg The Ibanez version is the I...

That is pretty cool. I had one of the big ones and sold it because it took up too mush real estate on the board.

I am interested in hearing the Egnater Rebel 20. It has a pair of EL84s AND a pair of 6V6s for power tubes, and a mix knob to adjust how much of which tubes are giving you your output sound. Only $549 which is cheap for the Egnater name, though I do think they are made in China. Doesn't say on the ...

It's a true vintage 1959 LP tone. Grab a Supro amp and you are Jimmy Page in a nansecond!

How is the Egnater at a super low volume? I play a lot, and I'm looking for something that still sounds good at a very low volume, so I can still hear the YV.
