| I own two guitars:
A crappy, but decent starter, Rogue acoustic
and my beautiful 1778t
I had a mexican fender strat for a little while, but returned it when I realized that I prefered acoustics since I wasn't in a band.
Well, I'm in a small bandish thing now, and I've been playing AS73s at a few music stores and I love the neck. I hate the look of the big round gibson es whatevers, but I like how the AS73 looks and feels.
What do you guys think about these? It's cheap, too... Like 280 or something like that. |

| Hmm... I saw either a Viper or a Preacher at a local guitar store (don't remember which). I didn't try it out. How are they? How much do they usually go for?
I realize you get what you pay for, but for that money is it a pretty decent guitar? I would prefer to stay on the low end price-wise, for my first electric. |

Wrap your hands around one and test drive. A freind of mine had an Artcore - looked great but I couldn't get myself to like it. The sound was way too vanilla... |

| The thing I like most about it is the neck. I don't know much about it, but the guy at a store said that the neck has a larger radius. Compared to, say, a strat, the neck seemed easier to play on. Is this a standard semi-hollow thing? |

But then, are you saying it was wrong for me to sell it, Weas? |

| I've never played a hammer... How are they? I don't like the look of that hammer... it's too round and bulky looking, like the Gibson ES... somethings. |

Location: closely held secret | It's Hamer, not hammer... :) and they're GREAT to play. Nice solid feel, excellent neck.
ES335's are classic guitars. |
