Im Looking to Buy a Guitar

[gigantes]

I guess maybe the OP is still waiting on advice after 5 years.

i guessed that maybe guitar talk might lead to more guitar talk.

but thanks for ignoring my explanation and giving your constructive advice on the matter.

in any case i have a danelectro, something like this one:





what have you got over there, motherf-cker? :)

[DeuceWallaces]

Recently finished upgrading my Epi Dot. Took my about 10 years to get all the work completed.

at the moment












Which model danelectro is that? I really like the sound of the current models they have with the old stock lipstick pick ups but i've heard the new bridges struggle a bit.

With abit of work (my studio really needed a new nut and input) the epi dots are really good value imo

[DeuceWallaces]

Yeah, that is a 2002 Korean Dot. Very well made. About 400 new, and then another 700 in parts and labor over the past 10 years.

How is being the real-life batman treating you, broham?

@outbreak,
eee, nice collection.

it's a repro i got about 15yrs ago. not the one displayed, but i was in a hurry.


@deucewallaces,
i barely play anymore... don't recognise what you've done there.

what have you done there? :)

[DeuceWallaces]

I replaced everything except the wood.

Gibson Schaller Tuners
Bone nut
Burstbucker Pro lead pickup
Burstbucker #2 rhythm
Schaller roller bridge
Bigsby tailpiece
Gibson tophat reflector knobs
BCS custom wiring/pots kit

Have had the neck straightened and action lowered twice

thanks. i forgot to respond before, but i think i see most of the changes now that you list them.

lowering the action sounds like a great idea and i should prolly get that done even though i rarely play anymore. but it would prolly help with my issues from joint-pain on the fretting hand.


btw i was having a debate the other day about the whammy bar-- i don't like the standard one because it tends to stress the strings. he replied that you can also do a tremolo bar over a roller bridge that doesn't stretch the strings. okay, cool. but after reading what some (or many?) guitarists had to say, that just sounds like a different variety of poison. as in, the more elaborate roller bridge assembly will really impact your tone.

i don't really understand the battlefield, since there are so many ways to do tremolo outside of the bridge.
