I am looking at a new electric guitar. I bought a telecaster, but I've got my eye on this niiiiccceee schecter s-1. Here's the dilemma:

I can either save for the s-1 or build my own guitar to my specs...I have $430 right now, and would need another $300 at least for the s-1...which would you do?

*gets ready to repeat story hes said many times*

I spent about 6 months looking for my electric guitar, and i played a lot. i played fenders, gibsons, esp's, ibanez's, PRS's, and many many others. i thought about getting a carvin for a while but decided against it after playing one that wasnt good.

then i went to a small shop a little ways from my house to try the guitar id heard a great deal about, the Godin LGX. when i first picked it up it was amazing to say the least. its incredible.

2 seymour duncan humbuckers (with coil taps)
LR Baggs acoustic bridge
String thru body
Beatiful maple top with cherry burst finish
3 way selector (el/mix/ac)
3 outputs ("")
built in ac EQ
incredibly low action (rosewood fretboard)
gloss finish (ex. satin neck)
sperzel locking tuners

theres nothing better that ive played than this guitar..... its amazing... get it.

PS pics in my sig

PPS you can get it for say.... $7-800

sweet guitar, shane....but....not a fan of the look of the godin...and looks do count for something for me...i don't know what i'm going to do...probably build one, even if it sucks, it'll start me off.

godins are fantastic.

i'm also looking for something with f-holes...

Godin Flat 5 has F holes. check it out.

Xoosh · Post by **Xoosh** » Sat Dec 27, 2003 1:09 am

what's an f hole? is that the 7th string option?

Dancing Ants · Post by **Dancing Ants** » Sat Dec 27, 2003 1:24 am

no, it's the two little "slits" above and below the bridge of the guitar, a good reference is the Gibson Byrdland Dave played in Crush...they're shaped like an "f"..

yeah, the flat 5 is definitely more my style...but I'm looking for something in 2 cutaway, also.

Fucking histarical. I was so ready to make a joke about that when I saw it, but I think yours pretty much covers it.
