Stephen Stern is the guy who builds the Gretsch Custom Shop guitars, the $10,000 George Harrison/Brian Setzer/Billy Zoom limited edition models and shit. i've seen a couple of them, and he does really good work, but there's just something in me that says "a ten thousand dollar Duo Jet? really?" for that much money, a new Gretsch should actually play me Chet Atkins' greatest hits whenever i'm bored and need some deftly executed muzak.

rather eat a shit sandwich.

i'll have to take exception to this.
and i write this with a smile on my face.....just a diff view.

i gig with my vintage guitars and feel if you don't use your vintage guitar you're a poser.
why have a nice guitar and not use it? why call a guitar a nice "piece"??? ... those people piss me off.
granted in all my travels and the 100's of guitars that have gone thru my hands i have never spent more the 2000 and only did that twice. a 53 gretsch and a 55 gibson ES 295. i gave the gretsch away.
one of my go to guitar is a 56 TV jr (my cost 500)...i could get 5000 easy for it...i use it. i never think that i am showing off..just using my fave guitar. people prob think its a new one anyway.
i just have always liked guitars, amps,and all that shite,
but i guess im a jackass and dick.

Well since I have never owned a guitar that was worth more than $700 I can't really speak in terms of actually having the experience. However, I know that if I ever had a really expensive guitar than I would be to scared to let anything happen to it, in which I wouldn't have any fun with it because I would be to cautious on stage. But if I had had the guitar for a long time like you had then it would be a different story. I believe good tone/sound is achievable with almost any guitar but that doesn't mean I can't still want more expensive gear . Man if only I was old enough to buy a vintage Jazzmaster in the 90's when they only went for a couple hundred. Sorry for rant so... i hate metal guitars just like most of the other people on this thread. Oh yea also LP's I personally don't like since they seem overated. I hate it when ever I talk to one of my school mates and tell him I have a mustang and he says I suck because I dont have aLes Paul and that those are the best because Slash uses one. Of course the first guitar he ever got was a Gibson Les Paul and he doesn't even play it.

I'd love to play crazy old Banjitars, Mandolutes, and Ukouzoukis on stage. I would never feel like a jackass with those. That would be very cool.

Just wondering, but why all the PRS hate?

I don't know much about them but I don't see any point metalz guitars on their product page...

Yeah.....I know that I am not that much interested in them but I wouldn't in any way be embarrassed to have or play one.

I'd feel like a jackass playing this bass but I'd do it anyway if given the chance:

my sister has that in guitar form. i brought it to band practice two years ago and we decided that it was semi-metal looking.

it's not that i "hate" metal guitars...go take a look at my photo in the "let's see you" thread and then tell me i wouldn't look like a total dorkapotamus with a Mockingbird, even if i was rocking it ironically.

Maybe the OP meant guitars that *start off* costing $6000. Guitars that are vintage today were usually once fairly reasonably priced.

But if I had a brand new $6000 guitar, I'd play the shit out of it.

i understarnd it... some people can't get over the design, some people hate maple tops etc.

i've always dreamed of having a PRS, because of the tones... then i played a Parker Nitefly SA and my friend's PRS Custom 24 in one day and srsly... fuck the PRS, Parker suits me WAAAAAY better it's my dream guitar now

it's not the PRS would be bad, i just... can't get to imagine myself with a two HB guitar they're probably not for me anymore


oh and lol @ Minarik Inferno

parker.... ewwwww
a fucking crazy guitar to play. feels awesome, but the looks like shit.
