LaRouteDu Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Enyone care to give their thoughts? I only like it for the burst buckers. And I kinda like the pink. lol Well I guess we Decided that the only CON is that its PINK. Over All seems to be a wounderFully guitar. Mabey its possible to get it refinished the same day you buy it.

Ron G Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 What about the matching handbag and pumps? Food shouldn't be blue and guitars shouldn't be pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulsaslim Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Having played one I can tell you this: PROS: Totally top notch workmanship as per all elitists Burstbucker pickups real cool features like the cut-away in the back (like the Ultra) & chambered body. CONS: It's pink. (That is absolutely the only 'con' I can think of). And the pink actually kinda grows on you after awhile. It doesn't look as bad in person as it does in pictures. If I could find one of these I would buy it (and I'm a heterosexual guy). I think there is a real good chance that this guitar will be worth some big bucks someday because a) they only made a few of them & it is a really good guitar. Most 'novelty' guitars like this are total crap but if this was a 'conventional' color it would be the king (not 'queen') of elitists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doth Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I played one at the the local guitar store. If you can get past the color it was a great guitar. The burstbusters sound awesome, fit and finish were excellent. I posted about it on this board, and TulsaSlim's brother ended up buying it.

matiac Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Pro: Elitist. Con: It's pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRouteDu Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Wherers the best place to go buy one? Cuz all of them where i live at are sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulsaslim Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Doth, my brother has told me many times to give you thanks for turning him on to that guitar. He's named it 'Pinky' & it's the pride of his collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byrds1965 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Not too sure about a pink LP, but I almost bought a pink strat. My buddies store had one for a long time and he told me I could have it for a deal then some guy came in and got it first at full price so no pink strat.

pohatu771 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 My mom once told me to buy a purple Strat. If I had the money, I would have... it was nice. But also $1700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexygibson Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I was a teenager when Twisted Sister burst onto the scene and I personally LOVED J.J. Frenches' guitar. Now; the Pros : As stated , its an Elitist. Top notch quality throughout, USA pups and electronics. The Cons: The cutaway; while some may like it, J.J.s' guitar was L.P. Standard and naturally did not have a cutaway. Also, I dont care for the logo on the headstock. Thats my biggest gripe with the Joe Perry model, t hat ugly a** logo. All in all, if I could score one at a good price' I would do it in a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSDx Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Heck, I'm so old now that the color really wouldn't bother me like it might've in my youth.....so I'd say the "con" side might just be finding one ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Pink wouldn't be my first choice but nonetheless the pink doesn't bother me that much. I'm sure it's an awesome guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eor Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 i've heard of the tummy cut but have never heard about it being chambered. never even seen photos of the tummy cut, or a real life pic, for that matter. is it still in production? if enough people pass on them, maybe they'll blow them out cheap- i might consider it then, if i had enough cash left over for a re-fin. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRouteDu Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Yeah i would do the same. Id be like "I want that guitar but can i get it refinished at the same time?" I bet the dealer would be like "get out of my store" Cuz really the whole point is its pink....but i think this guitar is sold out tho....its like a novelty.....sucks......

He's named it 'Pinky' & it's the pride of his collection.[/quote'] Tulsa, I am glad that someone could enjoy it. I thought it played exceptionally well. Being chambered and the "tummy" cut were all positives. The pickups were awesome. The pink color isn't that big of deal. The only reason I didn't pick it up was because I have a Boneyard LP with the same pickups, and there really wasn't enough of a reason to justify that over buying something completely different than I already owned. At the price they had it for, it was I think more than 50% off list (I am getting old, and my memory isn't so good). But it would have been a great price at anything less than $1k. It is great to hear it fell into good hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udreks Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 What, you think real men don't play pink guitars? On the contrary, only a real man with a real set of nuts would have the guts to play a pink guitar. Haha Anyway, I love mine. The tummy cut is a plus. I have always been reluctant to modify my Gibson LP Historic because I'm worried about hurting the value in case... But I popped out the Burstbuckers and put in new bridge/tailpiece and then also put in new Lollar Imperials. Also ditched the busy truss rod cover for a plain black one. Couldn't be happier. It sounds better than my Historic too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricochet Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have nothing against pink as a colour. I just don't like the burst on the TS model. Same as I don't like cherry- or tobacco-burst . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
