    Default Let's Dream a Little About Guitars

    I don't have the money, but I've been doing a lot of window shopping, so I thought I would drop a GAS bomb into the forum.

    Sorry all you Fender Heads, but you can still enjoy.

    I have always thought that Kleins were funky and cool in an ugly sort of way.

    Strum,

    As huberjub said, they are Klein guitars. The other two links didn't show up so I edited my original post.

    They are designed to be ergonomic. I don't believe they are made anymore, so they are rare/hard to get/pricey. I'll never own one They are cool in an ugly sort of way.

    http://buildingtheergonomicguitar.co...s-no-more.html

    Here is another cool builder I found when looking for pix of the Klein:

    Hey Strum,
    The Heritage = Beautiful Guitars.

    At one of the open mics I used to attend there was a regular who would show up with a Heritage. Just a great looking and sounding guitar.

    Good stuff.

    I like Carvin guitars, too. I actually like their Bolt series the best. I also wouldn't mind having one of the Holdsworth guitars, even though they are very homely, IMHO.

    One thing about Carvin though, I've heard good and bad about them. You might want to check out this review by a friend of mine who runs another guitar BBS:

    http://gtroblq.blogspot.com/

    Short review: their guitars are stellar, their customer service sucks a$$.

    I have to strongly disagree with him tung !!!The c.s. is stellar at carvin.The best if you ask me!!! This is my personnal opinion based on 3 guitars purchased.:


    I dont know to many places you can build to your specs(within reason) and have a 7-10 day trial period and then send it back for a rebuild no questions asked because you dont quite like the color or wood grain or whatever

    Yep carvin pretty much rules .: Again my opinion:

    I'm with you. I ordered a Carvin Bolt a few years ago from their guitars in stock. It was billed as "swamp ash" but it was very heavy, almost as heavy as a 'Paul. To their credit, they took it back no questions asked. I did have to pay for shipping both ways, but I viewed it as a surcharge for checking out the guitar.

    I'd order from them again.

    The possibilities are endless and oh so rewarding. Someday.
    This is just an example. I haven't finished dreaming of exactly what Jet guitar I want.
