scottcald 3,266 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 And am I the only one underwhelmed? Seems they're all just copying each other every year now. Tons of HSS superstrats. And PRS in particular was very underwhelming - a 3 hour event with Mayer headlining to announce a new paint job. Sheesh. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same. <yawn> I did see this Jackson that I want oh-so-badly but for the fact that it's overpriced for a basswood and FRT1000 equipped axe. 🙄 Edited January 16 by diablo175 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jakeboy 6,848 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Fender has released a 68 VibroChamp for $749....that looks cool, but I can have Lil Dawg make a hand wired head for under $600.... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Haynie 12,475 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I have been playing through the same '68 Vibro-Champ since 1977. The sandblasted ash look has been around for a while, but it seems like it is being pushed a lot more now. Maybe it is just Charvel, but that finish is on their Strats for their new releases. I am not thrilled with most new signature models. A Gilmour Martin? Edited January 17 by Steve Haynie 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crunchee 5,468 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I rarely buy 'new' anymore, so it doesn't really matter that much to me. If I do see something I like, then I do a web search for reviews, and look for a used one, whatever that item is. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobB 6,076 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Ibanez has a semi hollow and a jazzbox that look pretty nice. Then there’s the bargain-priced ($499.99!) Duncan pre-wired, Bonamassa pickguard. Who the hell is buying these things? Edited January 18 by RobB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
