rednefceleb Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I have taken notice of the China made Tak Matsumoto DC plus top model. I need to find out how they play (action-wise). Also the Burstbucker pup opinions. I own an Epi 60's Tribute Plus and I am surprisingly happy with the play-ability and the '57's are fine pups. Will the Matsumoto be about the same? (or better?) play-ability-wise? I have heard good and bad things about Burstbuckers. I have never plugged them in before. The cost of the 'Tak' looks about $700 used. I do have a little more money saved,(not much), but I could spring for a used Epi Elitist Les Paul. I think I could find one for a grand or a little more. Would the Elitist Paul simply be the best bet? Thanks for any opinions & experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megafrog Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Congratulations on the quadruple post, I have never seen that done before! I personally am fond of the Tak guitars because they are different. I would not pay a $1000 for an Elitist Les Paul, I would instead pay that for a Gibson Les Paul, if I were to go that route. I have seen Elitists go for substantially less on Craigslist out here in Pennsylvania, typically in the $500 - $600 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednefceleb Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Thanks. That quad entry was obviously an error on my part! I appreciate what you've said regarding the Elitist & their prices. I have been researching many MIJ brands lately. I've never seen so many fine guitars. The prices are like way less for super good quality LP and Strat type guitars. I have targeted one or two. Still, that Motsumoto is really a style that I like a lot. I know that I will wind up with one and be happy that I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
