Location: Flushing, MI | I hit "Buy it now" @ $119 for the Matrix on ebay. The seller doesn't have much for details, or pictures either, so I'm just gonna chance it. It said it was fine other than some scratches on the back. We'll see......
Hmm... I seem to be having some trouble posting a link. I'll try again later. |

Any info? Thanks in advance!
I've read both good and bad about these guitars. I reckon there's only one way to find out. |

Location: Massachusetts | If it's anything like mine, you should be well pleased. Here's a picture
I got it with a hardshell case for $75 at a flea market. It has a beautiful unplugged warmth, brilliance and articulation. The electronics on mine are a little weak and I'm working on that with a guitar friend of mine but in the meantime, I put a Seymour Duncan Maverick performer single coil soundhole pickup on it. The sound is amazing. These pickups are cheap at around $30 and, I believe only sold at Guitar Center. For the money, pretty wonderful quality sound. I have exactly the same pickups on my Washburn and Larivee and the Matrix is more expressive and full than either of them... and I love the sound of both of them through that pickup
Congratulations and I hope it comes in good shape. |

You really are a junior member.
Did you read the sign? You must be at least THIS tall to play that guitar. |

The pictures are stored on my Yahoo website. When you use the Post Reply button there are some buttons for adding stuff like urls to the post. click the button and paste or type the url or location of the pic. Something like this (http://www.geocities.com/alansir99/dianneAlan.jpg)You have to already have them somewhere on the web for them to appear here. |
