I'm sure it sounds and plays amazing! But that laminate top with the normal neck and main body really do clash, or is it just me??

Sibob Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah I know what you mean. Incredibly busy front wood, then boring as hell fingerboard/neck/main body! Quite odd! I'm not feeling it! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedontcarebear Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I think it's okay, but I still don't get how people can spend that much on a guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is that a set neck? I can't work out what holds body and neck together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4000 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 It's strange how Buckeye Burl polarises opinion. I absolutely love it. I don't think the bass is the best shape to start off with though personally. Now if it was a Matt Garrison, that would be a different matter altogether....

Bigwan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Played this one (or its twin) in the gallery a few years back. Entirely unimpressed. The Emperor 5 was a different matter... I was about to sell Granny for that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alun Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I really don't like plain backs on basses - would much rather continuity. Still a crazy price when, for the same price, you could but a custom bass and a small car to transport it round in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
