kenjones Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I always dug St. Blues guitars back in the 80's. They were made by ESP back then and assembled by the guys at Strings and Things. A guy who lives in Memphis bought the name and now has the guitars made in Korea. I gotta tell you - I've played a LOT of the old ESP-made guitars and these new ones are better. As soon as I got time to get the camera out I will take some photos of mine. Here's a pic from the St. Blues website of a guitar just like mine. It might even be mine FAIK:
Thundernotes Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 That's what I thought would happen when Fender bought Hamer: "The Articaster" Looks like a cool piece - I love the trans-white finish over swamp ash(?).
cmatthes Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 You didn't get the bound body pink "Billy Squier" model?
kenjones Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 You didn't get the bound body pink "Billy Squier" model?They actually had a bound pink one in their booth. I just thought they were trying to appeal to pre-teen girls!
jerseydrew Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I've always like those guitars, but I've never had the opportunity to play one. Let's see some pics when you get a chance
FunkyE9th Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Every time I see their ad, I always think what cool guitars. Never played one though.
jisham Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I like the pics and descriptions for sure. What's the neck shape like?
Mindseyes Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 My mom and pop store just started carying them and so far the ones i have farted around on have been realy nice....that goes for the basses also!
kenjones Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 It only weighs 6.2 pounds. It's acoustically loud and the sustain is great. Here's some photos of mine. More photos here.
teleman Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 It only weighs 6.2 pounds. It's acoustically loud and the sustain is great. Here's some photos of mine. More photos here. Very nice. I've had one of the origianl bluescasters since the mid 80's. The new St, Blues may be made in Korea but the quality is outstanding!
pesocaster Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 always dug those.... how do they sit on a strap... any neck heaviness?
specialk Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Have you X-Rayed it yet? Hey Feynman, your x-ray just came back: Looks good too!
