Went to Steves Music Downtown at lunch.
I tried a bunch of guitars.
Neezers
RG1570 Don't like it. I still hate that neck style. It isn't comfortable
2 separate Prestige models. Really nice, but not nice enough to beat a $1500 Strat. They were both that much. How is the resale compared to a Strat?
Fenders
MIJ 52 Tele with a Bigsby It was really nice. Way better than I thought it would be. As nice as any Tele from anywhere. Including vintage stuff.
MIM Strats at $500 Canadian were as nice as the USA ones almost.
Les Paul Standards I couldn't find a bad one in the store.
Les Paul Special DC with P90s sounded great felt like a cheap pos.
A black EC Martin 000whatever at $5600 It wasn't worth that much and I said so. The salesman agreed, but said "hey I'll sell it"
$900. Simon and Patrick acoustic that was really nice.
$1700 Garrison that was nice, but wasn't worth that much money.
