DeVeeWee Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I'm interested to know if that axe is really worthed as one says! Expensive it is, but does it outperform a R9 or a Les Paul Custom or any other Gibbie..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Ouch! Are those list or retail price? For $2,900 you might as well have a luthier build you a custom guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeeWee Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Retail price in Belgium(Europe) =€3.033 = $3630...so the price on the brochure is the retail price in the US. I can get an R9 for that price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Worth it. Wolfgang custom tobaco burst flame maple top with stop tail/bridge combo. Great little guitar but too damn small for me. That's why I sold it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:oilpit: Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 If they were half the price, I would own one. But 3 grand for a basswood body and a bolt on neck? Come on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I would love to see buckethead try to play one of them... they are so damn small, if they were small for me I imagine they would look like guitar hero controllers on his hands!
