Just ordered one of these
http://www.dbzguitars.com/web/acoustics ... tural.html
I have been looking for a good acoustic/electric for a while. And these things look nice. I haven't played one, or heard one being played, but it was 519.00 with free shipping and hard case.

You never come in here and/or add anything. You just came in here to talk shit since I got the better of you again. You're only truly accomplishing 2 things here, first, looking like a douchebag, second, undoubtedly letting me know how much I get to you.externus wrote:I'm a musician and I have an opinion on what kind of guitar you chose.JesseJames wrote:Hi,externus wrote:That guitar looks cheesy as all hell.
This is the musicians forum, we keep our other bullshit out of here. Thanks.

The korina epi explorers are pretty nice. The pickups suck though as do all epi pickups, but it's a good guitar for the price.The Doctor wrote:Nice. I looked at the DBZ site and am a little disappointed he didn't make a new "non-Dean" version of the Z.I have an Explorer hard on...
Still some interesting looking guitars though. I may have to track one down and see about it...

True. The couple I've tried played nicely, but those Epi pickups leave a lot to be desired.JesseJames wrote:The korina epi explorers are pretty nice.

Still think it would be kind of neat if Mr. Dean made an Explorer style DBZ. Judging by the way some of the other electrics look, I'd probably be all over it.

Although I wish I had an extra 6K lying around to call up Ken Lawrence... but I'm not Hetfield.

That's pretty close, but every replica of the Chechen I've seen hasn't quite captured the look of the original headstock. The replicas look "thicker"...

I'm not the biggest Metallica fan, but this guitar is nothing short of amazing...

The closest thing I could get to the KL Chechen is a pre-lawsuit ESP EXP, like the "EET FUCK" Explorer Hetfield had around the Justice/Black era.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

Thanks though, JJ. I think I might try to contact that seller to see if he can build something raw, unfinished, and custom for me.
As gay as it may sound to most of the guitarists here, I've wanted an 8 string for a while... but my budget isn't nearly big enough. Maybe whoever built that Chechen replica can build an 8 string version...

Blackmachines are nice, but I have 3 main hindrances when it comes to 8 string guitars.
I don't have much money to spare.
I like Explorers.
There are no 8 string Explorer style guitars that I can find.
What I've been considering is finding someone to build a "raw" 8 string Explorer neck and body for me... rather... seeing how much someone would charge me for something like that in an effort to save a bit of money.

True, but if I have some private person who builds guitars (and knows what they're doing) put together a neck and body with no electronics, no hardware, no finish, and no frills...croninburg wrote:To be perfectly honest, 8 strings are so uncommon that you're not going to get one for less than a seriously nice 6 or 7 string, especially with a custom body shape.
I've seen those. The reviews are fairly good and they look pretty nice, but the pseudo-strat-style body is not my favorite.Muffin wrote:rondomusic is selling 8 strings now, cheapest is like 500 bucks
Schecter made a very limited run of an 8 string V though...
