After some new guitar inspiration

[Freddy V-C]

Sounds like an SG-X

Yeah essentially this but with a tort guard and probably a chrome pickup cover, haha.

I also kinda like this

Unironically love this.

Only one so far I've liked.

Well. If you like it Tim, then I shall have to retract my irony. You are after all a dedicated follower of fashion sir

[Progrockabuse]

If only they made a tokai like this…… love wraparounds on a p90 les Paul.

[Bacchus]

Just checked if Sire made a goldtop, they sort of do. But it's not wraparound, and the finish is less gold, more metallic-pish.

They do, but you're more likely to find a Burny one. It's variously labelled as a 54, a JB or a Jeff Beck model. Black or oxblood. Humbuckers on the latter two models mind.

This is one of those moments where I shouldn’t have sold your tokai to Dave

I’ve seen some of the sire stuff and I’m quite intrigued.

I got a sire P bass a couple of years ago and it is top notch.

Oh? This is relevant to my interests! Which one?

It’s a P5, I got it from Anderson’s as a “2nd” for about £250 I think. There is the tiniest paint chip by one of the ferrules on the back, so a total bargain.
The neck is lovely, satin/natural on the back and gloss fretboard.

Lovely. That neck nearly looks like roast maple?

I've read good things about the pickups. £250 is an absolute steal!

[Thom]

Yeah it’s roast maple and the pickups are great! Honestly can’t fault it.

[Progrockabuse]

Might take a plunge on one of their gold top style ones.

Though I quite like the new Les Paul modern lite in Gold Mist.

[Progrockabuse]

This looks bloody nice!!

[Progrockabuse]

It kinda looks like hurb’s sex as feck jag he’s just refin. That thing looks amazing.

[Thom]

I was going to say that!

[NickS]

Best price I could find was £399

"matching-headstock" in the URL, haha.

Got a VM Jag in the classifieds if you're in the market, Rob...

[mickie08]

I'd be aiming for a used Eastman I think. Build quality is on par with USA Gibson, and probably a step above GS. Maybe a semi hollow as Thom suggests. Epiphone are good value, but a bit bland.

This. if you were in USA I could get you a new one at a steep discount as I have an artist realtionship with them.

SB55 or a t64 maybe? 486 or 486B? Other optionsif you want something different but cool guitars are the Juliets. I am heading to their Pomona, Ca warehouse at the end of the month to pick up a new acoustic.

[Progrockabuse]

Thanks for all the responses, especially the heads up on your jag Andy.

It’s all dependent on how many birthday pennies I receive. Might be a slow burner until I have enough funds.

Keep stumbling on cheap tokais but they are the non MIJ ones.
