LukeFRC Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) [url="http://www.the-dj-equipment-guide.com/image-files/cascade-electric-guitar.jpg"][/url] what other make guitars have a similar headstock shape to this. No label on it, just a continuation of a daftly ornate neck long MOP inlay, oh yeah and it seemed to be a neck thru. could be nice, could be cheap chinese.... help?

waynepunkdude Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 All I know is that's a £1000 JC, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(pine??) two darker stringers and a centre core HSS pickups and a floyd rose or style trem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I used to have a very similar guitar, it was Harley Benton but it wasn't exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] do you have model number (or photo to hand)? couldn't see anything similar It's really annoying- I know I have seen this shape before somewhere...

simwells Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1327097826' post='1506551'] or like the musician guitar shape, but 3 a side [/quote] If you meant musicman there then that's what I was thinking of, not quite the same but similar shape.

leftybassman392 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) It's meant to look like a Musicman I think - possibly one of the John Petrucci range, or perhaps a JPX - but the proportions are wrong, and MM guitars have a 4 + 2 headstock, not 3 + 3. Don't know what it is, but I wouldn't be overly optimistic about it at this point. It's possible that it's a 1-off made by a private luthier and inspired by the MM range. Without holding it and playing it you have no real idea as to it's quality though. Could just as easily be a cheap Chinese knock-off from the available evidence.

velvetkevorkian Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Having a massive neck inlay that continues on the headstock would generally suggest a Chinese eBay special to me, e.g something like [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Inlaid-Strat-style-electric-guitar-Solid-Burl-Maple-SE157-/160703722866?pt=Guitar&hash=item256ab03572#ht_4850wt_1185"]this[/url]. There used to be a bunch of sellers who sold similar things, basically Chinese factory guitars with insane inlays added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
