Searcy Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 They're bringing the M3 back ? Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 They put an M-III model guitar out in the late 80s I seem to remember...?? EDIT - thankyou Searcy I knew I wasn't imagining it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 I do like that burnt orange colour they use... That's a NICE colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Really? Again? This is all you guys could come up with? Again? Same as first time around: :lol: :lol: :lol: rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Maybe interesting for me if equipped with the Graph Tech Ghost LB63 piezo vibrato. Retrofitting is not an option since stepped mounting of a battery case would cause a refinishing and make for exploding costs this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I have to be honest..........I like it......I really like it........love the reverse exp headstock, love the inlays, the body shape is ok, nice bright colors......like the electronics..... If any of my local shops end up with one, I will certainly try it and see how it plays and sounds.......... BUT, the dilemma is.......I'd like to add a firebird or another LP studio.....when I see the price on the MIII, I have to stop and think for a bit. Not that I plan on selling it anytime soon, but we are in the price range of the other models and I think they will hold their value longer......hmmmmm...........just thinking out loud here. Kind of beyond my "shredder" days, but the MIII is cool. WIll be interesting to get one in hand to try.....who knows, could be the next great thing.

pippy Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Makes a lot of sense! Can't see any flaws in the design (no forward strap-button?) and I truly wish them all the best. I'm with Rabs. I really love all the colours. In fact the lime green one is about the same colour as my car......... P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Probably as in this pic That's where the upper strap knob should be on SGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I never played one but the Dirty Fingers with a single coil will definitely give it some unique tones. I'll have to see if GC has one on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It looks METAL which is not my thing, but the pretty colors are, erm...loud and pretty, like Pip's car apparently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I don't hate it and would like to try one. it's probably got some screaming tones. Not sure I'd go for one tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvar Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 They couldn't give these things away the first time around- what are they thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 They couldn't give these things away the first time around- what are they thinking? I know man. It's true, they literally could not give them away. I knew tonnes of people that tried them, I knew absolutely nobody that bought one. I laughed hard when I saw them doing this again, it's just ridiculous. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The eighties called. They want their hair metal guitars back. And those zebra print spandex pants. And the hi-heeled sneakers. Only good thing I can say is that I think John Ricco of Warrior Soul played the Epiphone version of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
