So...
Say you wanted to buy a traditional styled solid body guitar, that wasn't a Gibson or Fender...what are you supposed to get.
Say you want something of good quality, mid priced..not asian made...no pointy parts...no flamey tops...nothing really modern....what do you buy?
Seems there isn't much out there these days to fill this void. Gibson's prices are terrible for anything decent and Fender's sound like, fenders.
The PRS headstock shape and flamey tops are not my thing...not a strat guy, so strats of any vaiant are out. Kolls are amazing looking, but I can't afford one. The Duo Jetts are almost the same price as a les paul std. Hammer makes some interesting stuff, but along with heritage, their headstock looks kinda weird to me.....why can't manufacturers not have a headstock that slants inward....it's my biggest pet peeve for 3 on a side tuners.
The crummy part...anything you buy is likely gonna need upgraded pups and electronics..maybe hardware too.
$1200 to $1500 new....what are the options?
