My friend and I, (MANY years ago, not wanting to miss out on (ahem) looking "cool") used to play live, with a (Bournville) chocolate biscuit, wedged between the strings just above the nut, instead of the (seemingly obligatory) rock n' roll cigarette ! Well... WE found it kinda funny ! (Although no-one else seemed/seems to ?!) Anyway, what you'd just said, suddenly reminded me of it ! Sorry - That's it ! (lol !) Love y' Lori !(x) Lori - White guitars:

My little blog is honored! :) <strong>Gwen</strong>: Assistant Designer is laying it on a bit strong, but I definitely have opinions that I'm more than willing to share with anyone who's willing to listen ;-) <strong>Kristof</strong>; Thanks for the vote of confidence about sig models. But it'll never happen. Even if I were to be highly involved with producing a guitar model, I'd much prefer to work quietly behind the scenes. But I'd be sure to tell you which model it was :-) <strong>Stephen</strong>: White is my second-favorite guitar color. The only problem is that the chocolate smears show up too well, providing evidence of my naughtiness...at least pink hides the red wine stains. <strong>JoeJoe</strong>: I've heard nothing but good things about PRS, but have never had the chance to try one. [Note to self: Living in a big city has its advantages.] Congrats on your new purchase! I hope it brings you many years of enjoyment. <strong>JoeJoe/Kristof</strong>: I definitely agree that the characteristics of a given model vary widely across its individual examples. Maybe it's not so noticeable with high-end instruments, but I don't have a lot of experience with those. I seem to remember my friend Rich having a Squier that sounded totally manly. He used a butter knife to rout it for humbuckers, and I still tease him about it to this day! Yvonne: Thanks for stopping by! My little blog is honored! :)

The main thing is to keep grain dirrection, size, and feel of the instrument consistant. The thing with higher end instruments is that they might play, or sound slightly diffrent, but not better or worse. Alot can also depend on what the buyer is after. One mans trash is anothers treasure... Yeah, no two guitars can ever sound identical.

I've read that Vai actually has identical guitars sent to his home, tests them and picks the best one. That's how he picked Evo. It's true that you can probably find a reasonably good Squier out there if you try enough of them. There's a serious difference in quality from one to the next. The difference becomes less as the price and quality of the guitar in general goes up, but there will always be subtle differences since no two pieces of wood are the same, and even casters have good and bad days so one FR may not be the other.

Made me think twice about doing something via mail order…" I think most of that is quility control where the guitars are made. Two "twin" Ibanez's can sound and play completly diffrently, because they dont have high end quility control in place, they are more about marketing to numbers. On the other hand, you could walk into a store which stocks 10 of the "same" PRS, and all of them will feel, play, and sound as nice as each other, with only MINOR diffrences in sound. On the note of PRS, I recently just got one. Pricey, but very well worth it. Sounds and plays great, puts everything else I have tried to shame. It also might interest you to know, their standard scale length is 25", and is very comfortable. =). Plus, they have extremly sexy curves ;) “I went to a huge music shop in Holland to help a friend pick out a guitar, and was really shocked at how different two “twinâ€? guitars could sound.
