Andre S Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 about the different guitars I have GAS for. First the LP Traditional, then the Gibson Sg then the es 339 and then an R8, and now finally I've decided. Thanks for listening, although half the posts with my GAS stories are gone with the Forum Crash. I was on the traditional first, but I didn't really get the vibe that I would like the guitar like I did for my Gibson Les Paul Studio or martin OM-1. But I am getting the vibe from the Gibson SG Standard with an aftermarket Maestro. this comes from looking at GuitarJunkies avatar ( thanks Junkie) and the picture below.

Murph Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 My GAS is bubbling again. And now, boys and girls, you know why Gibson, (and Carvin, Mesa, ect.) spend money to keep these forums open.... They know, we just can't TAKE IT.................................. :D/ Murph.

Tim Plains Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Just pick a guitar and stick with it. lol For what it's worth, I think the R8 is by far the best guitar you've mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be beat, but, I do need a new amp, and there's a limit I'm willing to spend on gear.... With a Line 6 Spider 3, and great guitars, equals bad to mediocre sound. Need a better amp, for sure. I will get a Historic somday, but as my original post said, I just don't feel the love for any LP's that I can afford. Later, I know I will....But not yet....

Dub-T-123 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 That doesn't look like a Standard. That has an ABR-1 bridge and witchhat knobs. And the Standard has bevels that are usually a little deeper than that. Standards are really sweet though. Keep in mind that if you put a Maestro on it you will have the stop bar holes peeking out.
