UPDATE Which one goes?? SOLD

[SIx String Chef]

Not too sure, (maybe it's the late hour and the early(ish) mornings taking), but wasn't 2017 one of the years when Gibson just churned out really regrettable lo-q product?? I most likely am wrong but if I'm not, then the LP could get the axe... the axe, get it? Yeah... I just should go to sleep.

Quintessential Remo!!

SORRY, I meant RAmo... Yup, that's my cue to hit the hay... been a looong day. Gnite, brethren!

 

[SG John]

Regardless of which one you sell, it will be in the next “What Was I Thinking?” or “The One That Got Away” thread.

Just watched it recently....again.

I need to decide which guitar goes to a new home. This ain't easy, I've become attached to all of my guitars. They all play so well and each has its own character. As y'all know, they're part of the family. But, I'm at the point where I can't keep them all, and I'm gas, Gas, GASSING big time, and need to make room.

Sooooo, which member gets sent to the orphanage??

Is that a Floyd Rose on the Strat???

 

[marshalltsl]

No doubt. The SG. All of them are bad balanced.

Sure is. Original from 83.

Hate to say it... you're 100% on that.
Yet, somethings going. I'm getting the kleenex ready in advance.

 

[Bocc69]

I'm a hoarder so I don't get it. Question what are you going to get to replace it with ???

Not exactly sure on that, but it's going to be good. Availability is tight.

2 things I'm sure of. It won't have a locking trem, and it's going to be a 25.5 scale.

 

[Bocc69]

Decided on a few things...

The best playing, and newest addition is staying.
S6570, you are deemed safe!!

 

[Bocc69]

Sentimental is too strong with the strat. I rarely play it, but the tears would ruin the finish if I had to pack her up.

Therefore, 83 Stratocaster, you are deemed safe.

I missed the Floyd on the Strat when I first posted, that's a game changer for me.
It would have to stay.
Glad it's loved.

Yea. Someday I intend to get a Strat without a locking trem. I really don't know what it's like to have a great strat. I've had this one setup, shimmed, and made as playable as I can.

And I know, this can't be what everyone loves about a Stratocaster. It's the only guitar I have that I'm mentally attached too.

I want the one that Frank Zappa was singing about.

NOT FAAAAIR!!! You are keeping all the keepers! But seriously, this strat, just by the virtue of the original FR is quite unique. Love it, Bocc!

There was some complaining About the 2017. If I remember, I think the majority was about the HP and the nut.
Fortunately, mine is sweet.

Thanks .... but If I could televise the battle in my head rite now, it'd be a youtube sensation.

Re-born by military technology, trained by a wise and ruthless master, killing machine with a heart, bullet-dodger... he's the original Neo!!!

So, most likely gunning for a Fender, yes?

Fenderish at best.
And It rhythms with Simon Says.

Unless you have them set up with different tunings or something, there's probably the most overlap between the Ibanezes?
