When I played I used t o always go to steve's. 700 Queen west?? maybe not that high up, I think on Queen between bathurst and spadina. Good store, massive. But the paying method confuses the hell outta me

I totally agree LKD, my biggest regret about my guitar playing is wasting my money on a fender. It's like apple computers, just paying for the name or trendyness. Washburns are great guitars, although I still love my jackson, nothing screams metal like a jackson

dont get me wrong...jacksons are great too...people usually just go and buy an electric without thinking about it...i spent 2 months on deciding which one i wanted and had my mind set on this one cos of the narrow neck, floyd rose tremelo and tone locking cos of the floyd rose tremelo....rarely do i need to tune my guitar

Posted by sixtysix on Dec-23-2006 23:48:

I've always loved the floyd rose tremelo. Ive just never had the large sums of money to be buying the nicest stuff. hahah. The biggest thing to me is always, like you said, a thin neck. I love the thin neck it is so essential.

as far as i know, Jackson is still independent and based out of cali...ur prolly mixing it up cos charvel jackson sold the charvel name and rights to manufacture to fender...
