Go and try the Godin Exit 22 at Ranking Sports.. think list around 750, should be able to get cheaper after bargaining.

Pier.

Hmm

I would suggest a MIK RG350DX at SweeLee. List price is $850, but they will give some discount.

Epi LPs are nice. Just go to the gym if you wanna jump with it.

Wat are your opinions on the differences between a Gretcsh and Epi ?

Khai, I don't get it. First you asked for a light guitar, now you asked for the best guitar under $800.

You said you don't want a Strat copy. ok

But you haven't really been able to convey what you want properly. What do you really want? I have given you a suggestion, the Samick GB CA2. That's a guitar that doesn't sport a common look.

Buy any guitar the fellow SOFTies and I recommend. If it's too heavy, buy a wider strap (ie straps for bass guitars). Still too heavy? This is my personal recommendation:

Way cooler than the Monkey Grip you find on JEMs. haha

whoa! what happen here man!??

 

[jumbofret]

That's Bumblefoot's old guitar, an Ibanez Roadstar (Strat copy). Here's a pic of the guitar b4 mod:

Then, he mod it to become the Swiss Cheese guitar! It's tried and tested by a pro!

 

[uzzo88]

[nebo1981]

[uzzo88]

[neuro182]

Hmm

Sorrie to side-track, how much does a Tokai LP Love Rock series cost these days?

 

[neuro182]

Hee

Ooh I guess you meant Guitar Alley rite? I saw a J&D Strat copy with floyd rose & piezo switch. Selling only $395, quite a steal uh. But do you tink that J&D guits are good? Any parties wanna chip in some ideas here?

 

[Vaiyen]

lol at that modded guitar! If I didn't know better, I'd think that's the pre-mod version..heheh.

yea, Khai, maybe you can buy a PRS and bash it up like that, so it'll be both unique looking and light.

[neuro182]

Hmm

There is this guy at Luther Music ad selling a MIK Tokai Goldtop for $650. Is it worth it to buy?
