Thundergod Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Anyone heard of them? Anyone played one? I'm kind of liking how their strange telecaster-nighthawk mutate looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 that's nice - never played one though Buy one and let us know what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 One of my favorite little local shops is a St. Blues dealer. They're pretty cool little guitars but I don't think I'd buy one. The bodies are tiny. They're way too small for me. Other than that they seem pretty good. I'll give them another try next time I go to this shop because it's been a while since I've played one.

Rocky4 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I had one over 20 years ago. It was a two humbucker model with a whammy bar. I liked it, but wished I'd bought the model you pictured after a while. I recall Billy Squire played them at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I haven't got a clue as to how they sound but damn I wanna call my luthier and tell him to make me one just like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I gassed for the Highway '61 version but they are pricey for being imports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 How much? and where are they made? Anyway, if I ever get my hands on a guitar that looks like that one it will be made by my guy, to my specs (wood, neck size, pickups and all that). Damn, GAS is hittin' hard. Right now I want to ask him to build me 2 more guitars (nighthawk/tele mutate included) and wanna buy 2 other guitars, 1 is kind of expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I forget, I think Korea. They used to be made in the USA then they stopped for a while and then resurrected the brand, they may make some models in the USA but the one I was looking at was an import and $750 for an obscure brand did not sound appealing to me. I think the store Strings and Things in Memphis is their main outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Started out in Memphis as reasonably priced guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moguitars Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 There are two levels. The import model is made in Korea and then setup/fitted here in the U.S. They are amazing guitars for the money and run in the $700-$750 range. They also have a Workshop Series, which is their U.S. handmade series. These are in the $2k range and are killer instruments. I have one of each and I love 'em both. Shop around, there are a couple of dealers out there who will get aggressive with these instruments. I saved a bunch of money just by asking for a deal.

Thundergod Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Welcome to the forum moguitars Do you happen to have any pics of your st blues beauties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSG_Standard Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Buck Dharma of Blue Oyster Cult plays one sometimes. He had two, one was stolen along with his old SG. You can hear the St. Blues guitar on most of the songs from the album Heaven Forbid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
