AshWufei James Tanner AshWufei James Tanner After looking through my cam, I found an old pic of my SG.  What model is that? It's a Westfield E2000 SG. Bet you thought it was a Gibson. Everyone does because of it's headstock. Yeah... actually I believe that's close enough for them to be sued by Gibson. I'm not suprised thay haven't yet, to be honest. xp

Of course, I would have said the same for the PRS doublecut - PRS having a double cut would not have cut into Gibson's profit any, because if your a person that wants a Gibson, your not going to say "nah i'll go with this PRS doublecut, even though I'm a Gibson nut". On a similar note, PRS now makes Doublecuts again. They appealed on the case and won it.

I thought Gibson sued PRS because the Singlecut looked too much like the Les Paul. I mean, PRS must be a bit stupid, making it with a Heritage Sunburst kinda colour. xp

They ARE pretty close, but I think the PRS's lower horn looks much too different from the Gibson to compare the two. And again, if your a Gibson person, your going to get the Gibson no matter what, and likewise with PRS.

They'd just command that people that have problems with the QC buy higher end models smile Personally though, I don't care HOW bad the QC is, as soon as I'm done with this project, I'll be saving for a Faded LP Double Cut. Mmmm...

Xenin whatever happened to you tiesco ash? I broke that POS apart xd I gave up on it because s**t kept breaking on it, so I'm scrapping the neck, using the electronics for my project (officially now - if I ever say any different, please hit me in the head!), and i might use the body to test some finishing on. Right NOW my ever-changing plan is to customize a Saga guitar kit (cheap i know), with a custom paint job (Burgundy Mist Metalic), i'll modify the pickguard to fit with the Teisco pickups and Switches, and I'll be done with my first project smile There WILL be woodwork involved though, but i'll only be making the pickup routs larger and routing out a small airea to fit in the Teisco switches.

I don't have pics, but i got an ibanez electric, not sure what model at the moment, but it needs to be soldered and s**t. I also have a Squier P-Bass, and a Fender Jazz Bass.
I'm also going to check some sotres around town to get a new guitar, i only have like 200 dollars in my price range, MAYBE 250
