Too bad they dont compare AT ALL to a BM. I've owned 2-3 Suhrs now including one built by john suhr himself and it was an extremely low serial #...still didnt compare to my Blackmachine.
If you're happy with Suhr or TA though, good for you.
I wonder how many of you tell ferrari owners they could buy a ton of hondas for that price? Hard to believe some of you are older than 14!

See, I don't think this is a good comparison at all. Your personal opinion is the BM is a Lambo or Ferrari and the others are BMWs. For someone else, a Tom Anderson or a Suhr might be the Ferrari and the BM might be the BMW. It is a matter of personal preference. Different strokes for different folks. Not every player is going to find the BM superior regardless of the price. I've played lots of expensive, high end guitars and I prefer some of my much less expensive Charvel Custom Shop guitars. For me, those are Ferarris. I enjoy exotic wood guitars and I understand why they cost more and perhaps if I was a different kind of player, I'd prefer something else... Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to buy what they love regardless of the cost, however, personal preference does not mean one guitar is "better/superior" any more than price does...Stealthtastic":1odrv6hk said:

Good luck with the sale. I hope some idiot out there shells out the 15K for it.
Some idiot already has I believe, and this idiot happens to be a friend of yours I do believe.
So, until you decide to play in another league, stop bashing what you don't understand, get yourself a copy of the "Yamaha Sound Reinforcement Handbook", learn how to EQ, and then maybe you can feel qualified to explain to the thousands of players of active pickups why their choice in gear is wrong.
Ah you know after going back and looking at Mesa Hollywood store at the Nash guitars I see they don't say Fender on the headstock. So they are parts guitars with fender necks?sah5150":1677v9jx said:That's not correct.

or does he buy the Fender and remove the Fender logo? Did Fender have an issue and if so why doesn't Gibson?That's your opinion, to which you are entitled, and for you, it's true and that's why you are willing to lay out the cash for one. Other's might have different thoughts on the matter. I just wish their thoughts were not to insult you for your opinion and buying decisions. That is just ignorant and I see a lot of that type of ignorance in this thread... As I said, I've laid out a lot of cash for a Bartlett and I'm 1.5 years and a lot more dollars from a guitar (at best). And I'm sure plenty of folks responding about the BM in this thread would ridicule me for that as well. I think that's dumb. Who cares what you or I do with our cash?Stealthtastic":3qnf6cui said:

No, they are parts guitars. He order parts to his specs, build them and relics them. They are not Fenders. He does really nice relics and his guitar setups are phenomenal. They play really nicely. I had one, but it was just too relic'd on the fretboard for me to enjoy. Would get another less relic'd one though...jlbaxe":rj0a8o7d said:Ah you know after going back and looking at Mesa Hollywood store at the Nash guitars I see they don't say Fender on the headstock.

So why call someone an idiot for having a different opinion than you though? Why the name calling if you just have a difference of opinion? Seems uncalled for...danyeo":29cctgry said:engage757":29cctgry said:danyeo":29cctgry said:engage757":29cctgry said:Well, a lot of us grew out of it and realized that active pickups simply color, not create.

It's less about the pickups and more about 15K for a guitar that's not worth it IMHO. The fact that it has EMG just adds to the insanity of it all.
Let me emphasize this again...IMHO
Cool thanks for clarifying that for me. I like a few LP,Tele and starts but not the heavy relic ones either. Would luv to try onesah5150":2x2aytm6 said:No, they are parts guitars.

just bought the one in my avatar and a EC Blackie strat all in the same weekThe word identical was never used to describe EMG's by me. No need to come back with a smart assed comment.rlord1974":3qhtwbih said:I use EMG single coils in some of my Strats. Strangely, all of these Strats sound a little different.....
My EMGs must be broken, since they don't make these Strats sound identical.

Buy and play what works for you; worth is an entirely subjective term.
