That's the problem with guitar design. I've said it many times before. For a music supposedly rooted in rebellion, rock n roll guitarists are a very conservative lot. (No more rebellious than jazz players.) Modern designs like the Parker Fly or Steinberger/Strandberg models, or wacky 80s styles, are shunned, even though they may offer better playability, or at least something different.
lol, they do actually......but no case, don't look @thunder58 .
Thank you our Good Dr. I could not have said it better. I have owned several Schecters, Steinbergers, Parker Flys along with RKS guitars and they were incredible, you had to play them, and then judge. Guitarists are typically very traditional, and that is ok in their own rite, but it is a benefit to keep our minds open as well. When I see new Gretsch guitars with the Gibson type low profile, I have to admit, I didn't like the idea, but once I played them I realized that they were good players. And are great players with some modifications.
That looks terrible!
I agree except for the Jet ‐ Les Paul. As someone who had a Les Paul first and hardly heard of Gretsh told recently, I had the same impression. But the reality is the Les Paul (and jet) was not remotely original in shape; it was just a solid, junior / smaller version of the very common single cut hollow body shapes that everyone made.
What’s the likelihood these cracks go deeper than the finish?
