Well, maybe $2500 for a strange guitar is not a problem in the US... and also you can return it if you don't like it... but it's just too far from me.
@Acruhf I'd have thought them being cosmetic would be the very reason it looks cheap, as opposed cosmetics making something sound cheap, or taste cheap...
@xVancha If being cheap implies a low quality instrument, then I would think that cosmetics have little serious impact on the overall build quality of the guitar.
Nice guitars - ans worth a little more b/c they're not bolt-together. But in order for this to be the "Deal of a Lifetime" - you've gotta let it go for $499. $1199 would be a great deal.... $1899 would be a good price... and I'd pay $2500, but it's not a deal - that's rack rate. ;-)
doesn't playing with your fingers, especially when strumming with them, cause you to lose alot of high end of you attack and tone? does this your finger style plying work well in a live band situation? does it cut though the mix well?
he once did a scoop on a guitar he and his dad built; and stated that they chose a dimarzio SD as the bridge pickup because the ceramic magnet has a better treble response for his finger playing
Andy, you need to get on the ball my friend and start carrying DBZ guitars by Dean Guitars founder Dean Zelinsky. He's come back with a new company, DBZ Guitars, and is making some true masterpieces. He's got a guitar called the Imperial that is about an inch thick, probably the thinnest guitar out there. It sounds so sweet. He has a semi-hollow version called the Imperial Aliento. You really gotta check them out and then start carrying them. You'd sell them like hot cakes, I promise.
Thank you for the demo. I love Andy's playing. I use my fingers instead of a pick as well. The mini humbuckers are mean little Bi@+#$. Keep up the good work. I would probably subscribe to a channel with just Andy playing. Andy, you have a youtube page?
gotta say....I never thought sonic blue was a great color but man the sonic blue on those giffins looks beautiful. I can't wait to hear the P90s. BTW Andy loved hear Dear Mr. Fantasy...great playing as always
@ProGuitarShopDemos Yeah I realize the demo was with the Pelham...I was just looking at the image of the sonic blue on your webpage and the earlier anouncement video. Sonic is a really hot color for the griffin.
@Pikachu25sci90vt At a glance perhaps, but with a more rounded butt end, deeper waists, a freer neck joint, slimmer horns, a 3x3 headstock, etc...I wouldn't lump it in with the Fender-thieves out there at all.
Oh my god, the first song, you're playing a New York Dolls song! *has heart attack*

What type of amp (settings) and effects (any) were used in your playing here? Or was that straight non-effected sound?
TheWoodsBand1 8 months ago
Love the way this one sounds. Love the pickups, and I'm sure it feels great.
But the body design, headstock logo/design looks cheap. I'd never buy it.
And I still prefer PGS using a standard amp to spotlight the product.
But PGS still makes the best reviews on the web - and sells the best gear.
