I thought you were alluding to a "neck-on" switch, which is a common mod for strats, to give you the N+B option, which you normally can't do on a strat. So, daddyo, tell us again about the guitar that "looks cool, plays like butter and has an awesome grunt," and is "kind of a cross between a Les Paul and a Strat". Again, it looks like a cross between a Les Paul and a Strat or sounds like one? Chesh |
Daddyo, what about a Godin fat strat? Is it still not right, in which case, is it something about non-big brands? The problem is that the kind of quality you get in terms of build quality and finish to the body, neck and frets on cheap big brand guitars puts them sometimes in the same category as very cheap guitars. I know a lot if people talk about agile and xavier guitars as having a lot of bang for buck, but it comes back down to their guitars being based on other designs. The one thing I would take exception to is the idea that a guitar that is US made automatically makes it a higher quality guitar. |

personally, I don't like their neck profiles as well as some others. but the simple fact is, objectively they are one of the best made mass produced guitars out there, period. I play a host of types of guitars. I own a Ric, an MIJ Ibanez, Gibson LP custom, ES-300, Melody maker with P-90, a PRS and quite a few other notably fine guitars. Supposedly, several of my guitars were used on several platinum albums by household name artists. I own an Art & Lutherie, and a seagull acoustic, and have played several godins, honestly, they are absolutely on par with many gibsons and MIA fenders for far less. And I might add, First Act even makes some mighty nice guitars in their artist custom shop. |
You guys have convinced me. I'm gonna sell all my usless crap and get Godin stuff. |

FWIW, most of daddyo's complaints about Godin are things I feel about PRS at any given time. |

By all means, have the opinions you want. I have a nearly irrational dislike of Taylor, Breedlove, and Ibanez. |
I've toyed around with a couple of First Act guitars. They play just as good, if not better, than the similarly priced Squiers. Just saying. :yep: |

Honestly...I'd buy $125 First Act before I'd buy a $125 Squier. :yep: First Act makes some custom guitars that top $2000-$3000. Brad Whitford (Aerosmith) plays one. |
No thanks guys, You go ahead with your First Act and Godin and I'll stick to my Fenders and Epiphone. Quote:
I didn't know that PRS made a bass but go ahead and avoid them if you don't like them. Quote:
