Non-Warmoth-induced GAS

[reluctant-builder]

I see my Heritage's Gibson cousin hanging in the top right corner, there.

I would absolutely love an Arctic White Swede. I've got a black one, and it's awesome, but they don't make the white for lefties.

Thanks for taking the photos! That place is Hagstrom heaven.

No problem.  I played that 335 looking one with the flametop.  It was pretty nice for the price!

I love the slightly wider LP look, and that tailpiece cover is snazzy too.

I really really like that Skatecaster. Except for that stupid name. Whoever came up with that deserves to be fired. From a canon.

 

[reluctant-builder]

That "Skatecaster" (I agree, possibly the worst-ever guitar name) looks like a Jazzmaster that's been desaturated. I kept looking at it waiting for something to happen, wondering when someone was going to come along and finish it.

Primer Gray is not my cup-o-tay.

And if there's going to be that much of a solid color, I'd like a pickguard or more knobs, colored pup rings, something to create some contrast ... Someone call Adam Duritz; he can buy himself a gray guitar.

Heh.  Nice one.

Well the Skatecaster is derived from the Surfcaster. And Charvels are generally no-BS guitars without too many knobs, options and whatnots. I like the simplicity.

It's is possible to get in other colours thou.

If you want more go Gretsch.  :icon_biggrin:

I think that this is how a swedish guitar should really look like:

Lol, my first reaction was: IKEA! Now after some googling I understand that it IS made from an Ikea butcher block. Too bad it's too small for a bass body or I'd see a building project coming up.

I think that posting a Zachery guitar constitutes trolling.  :icon_jokercolor:

And from the Creamery in Manchester, it's cousin:

Although this one is made from a vintage butcher's block :icon_biggrin:

Yeah probably so... but I think it is not as bad as posting an Ed Roman Guitar  :icon_biggrin:

Speaking of GAS... holy crap!

Speaking of GAS... holy crap!

That's a purty guitar, kboman, but it looks awfully shiny and new to have the lacquer so dark - kinda jarring, really - it should be clear, or a little paler yellow, instead of the amber fake vintage tint.

 

[reluctant-builder]

Yeah, that's pretty nice. Is that hardware gold? It looks less gaudy, and therefore much cooler. It would be seriously boss if the inlays were amber, though; the MOP doesn't look right.

Speaking of the Creamery, has anyone tried that guy's pickups? He seems to be pretty well dialed in on marketing his vintage-correct stuff.  I'd be interested in a knowledgeable independent opinion of his wares.

Eh, I think it works. It's beautiful just the way it is - the amber tint is so obivous it becomes a statement of its own.

I know at least one on the forum has several of his pickups but for the life of me I can't remember who! He loved them though... I'm getting a set myself in not too long (ie possibly before midsummer in kboman-speak).

It figures, after I say that most stock guitars don't appeal to me, that I come across one that induces major GAS.

It's moments like these I'm especially glad to be left-handed; there's simply no point in me buying this guitar, no matter how slick it is, because it would be totally useless. My wallet breathes a sigh of relief.
