    Tele & Esquire Fun

    Beautiful Esquires (and amps!), Mike. I really like Esquires but Fender has not had a regular production model that I am aware of for a long time outside of a MIM series that ran for a few years. Have had a few Squiers that are decent enough for the price like the 60's Custom model from CME as...

    NGD Bought a ES 335

    Beautiful! I love the wood grain and color, perfecto. The SC20H & cab are very cool as well.

    NGD 2008 Diablo GOTM

    Always liked the carve on those. Do not see these SG's very often. You are a lucky man.

    Show me some unusual color SGs!

    I don't know that this is a unusual color so much as it is different. Looks like the "Watermelon" shade found on some 335's from around the early 60's era. Typical cherry red on the one side and watermelon on the other.

    Protectors are back... not quite the ol' Chainsaw

    I looked at the Sweetwater reviews and can't say that the issues described in the critical review apply to the SG version of the case that I bought. I do agree with another review that mentioned how small the accessory pocket is. It will also have it's glossy exterior scratched and scuffed in no...

    Anyone tried the new USA SG Specials?

    After a bit of a wait, I finally got mine. 6lbs.8oz. Neck dive to beat hell, but a strap with a suede backing negates the issue. Sounds, looks, plays, and feels great. Neck is slightly on the slender side of a medium profile and works well for my small hands. Comes with a nice hard case that...

    Anyone tried the new USA SG Specials?

    Agree, they look great and are very reasonably priced. Have not tried one. Has anyone seen one in the flesh? I just went ahead and ordered one, hope to get it by mid-February. I will likely sell the one I currently have in Inverness Green that is a lovely guitar. But have always wanted the...

    Need some SG advice.

    Yes, dealing with a store that can fulfill your needs in terms of a setup that works for you can make a mediocre playing guitar into a great one. Then get the Dan Erlewine book "How To Make Your Electric Guitar Great!" or watch some related You Tube videos and learn how to do it for yourself...
