Joe's going back to the fender strat !!! (Page 1 of 2)

Deezer's was silly, but I actually believed this one.

Damn.

You know what they say..."One you go Gibson...ya never go back" Joe, my Gibson did'nt get enough time w/ you before the Eugene show. BTW, Battle Axe's name is "Josephine". Named after both my mom and my my wife. One gave me life and the other one saved my life. In case you forgot when you asked,...she was a 1980 Professional 335-s Deluxe...Before the change. When you look at pix of it online, it's the Silverburst. Been playing the crap out of it since you told me to. 1-2 daily and up to 3 1/2 adventures 'til carpletunnel set in. Using your picks 1/2 the time. Sustain that would make Carlos Santana impatient.

Joe might consider playing Fenders again, then he won’t care if they get broken by the airlines.

Wouldn't quite say that, Gibson are slowly but surely slipping.
Henry has recently come into more trouble. Bit of a dictator it seems.

I'm gonna sit on the fence here and go PRS, the best parts of both guitars and that lovely in between scale! Not to mention the tasty tops!

PRS makes great guitars. I was weary of their SE models, but even those feel nice. PRS is an american guitar company I'd love to own, but would have to pass over a Gibson to purchase due to cost.

Ask me about my handwound Great Lakes Guitar Pickups
Since 2010, Bonamassa fans have taken advantage of my JB friend discount = my cost + shipping.

Nic...may just be due to my proximity to Stevensville, MD (location of PRS factory) but I see nice ones come up in the Baltimore/DC Craigslists quite often for under $2K.    I have a '96 quilted 10-top Custom 22 that is an amazing guitar.  It's not a Strat or a Les Paul, but they are things of beauty.  My co-guitarist in my band has a 90's CE which is really nice and an SE Soapbar II which is a suprisingly good guitar for what he paid (around $400 I think).   

May not make me the most popular guy on the board, but I think they're great guitars....ask Dr. Dave, he has some really nice ones.

I still say Joe's tone on the Rockpalast DVD with a strat is some of my favorite guitar tone ever...that being said, his tone with the LP on the same DVD is pretty fantastic.  I play both and I love them both.  They serve the purpose...
