went to my local Music Go Round... my buddy's trying to sell his Fender Tele Thinline reissue and a 50 watt Ampeg tube amp (sucker's heavy)...

so as they're 'looking over the products to give him a price'- we decided to check out some of the guitars...

they had 2 different Matrix guitars
(1132 & 1137) and a 1612 (like mine only newer)...

The Matrix guitars were so so... the tone just didn't appeal to me...

have any of you had this same feeling about the Matrix guitars?

They real real durable but soundwise a custom legend they ain't.

They have a really crisp sound and I swear I hear some twang in mine that comes from the aluminum fretboard. I keep mine because it was our wedding present 31 years ago.

Had one with the wood fretboard, peizo but no preamp, lam top. Was my first and only O for many years. Kept it around as a beater later on, but finally sold it off when it never got played anymore. Pez summed it up pretty nicely.
