Author Message   Ericsson (Ericsson) Posted on Thursday, February 05, 2004 - 10:04 pm:    Anybody see these? Some interesting guitars keep popping up on ebay (no affiliation with these guits or sellers)! So, here's my picks for the cool and unusual this week: 12 String J200, not a lot of these around! CN-250, with a vine too bad it's a bolton Another CN-250 Minty studio, anyone like these?   Dave_G (Dave_G) Posted on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 12:05 am:    OUCH ! What do you mean "too bad its a bolt on" ! Don't tell me we have a set neck snob on the board ! You should play some of these bolt necks before passing judgement-I think you'll be suprised-especially with the concert, performer and LP clones of the 70's. Killer PUPS, awesome sustain and affordable to the average Joe. Take it from me, I'm a former Gib*** set neck addict and convert to Ibanez.   Mr_Roadstar (Mr_Roadstar) Posted on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 12:19 pm:    Yeah, bolt-ons suck! Just ask any of the bazillion Strat and Tele owners out there... Cheers Steve   Sixvsix (Sixvsix) Posted on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 3:17 pm:    That's a nice CN250 guys even if it is a bolt on Seriously I would love one of these. It's got to be the nicest CN and especially in the wine. I wonder if that wine is the same shade as on the Wine Scruggs? Hmmm six   Ericsson (Ericsson) Posted on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 5:38 pm:    Bolt-ons dont "suck", they're just not for me... but that leaves more of them for you guys. So what do you think of the guitars? I like the J-200 12 string myself.   Jeffsailor (Jeffsailor) Posted on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 8:01 pm:    I'm with you Ericsson. I don't think they're at all inferior to set necks, I just prefer a set-neck guitar. And I am a strat owner, and lover. Even if it is a bolt-on, that CN-250 is REAL nice.   Ericibanez (Ericibanez) Posted on Thursday, February 12, 2004 - 4:02 pm:    Thanks for the links! I like set necks more as well. Nice subject for debate. In all fairness there are some very good bolt-ons as well. But the Fender should have considered a setneck 24 fret strat also.   Steph (Steph) Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 4:16 pm:    For your info, I think Cimar actually did the CN model with set neck. I have 3 Ibanez CN's and I think they are great players, even if I also still long for CN 250. They are still affordable too right, even if the 250 went a bit higher the 100 and 200 models typically go for around $300-400. /Steph   Mr_Roadstar (Mr_Roadstar) Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 9:38 pm:    "But the Fender should have considered a setneck 24 fret strat also." There was a Richie Blackmore signature set-neck. The Custom Shop has also done some set-necks in the past. Both Strats and Tele's. Check out the new Showmaster Stratocaster. It's a production set-neck Strat! Cheers Steve   Ericibanez (Ericibanez) Posted on Friday, February 20, 2004 - 10:13 am:    Steve you are right! I checked out the Fender site - some nice new guitars. I didn't know they bought Charvel Jackson. Have you played any of these or the FMTs? I'm curious. I had an old bolt on Charvel that was an awesome guitar that had a great neck and sounded great. It was an '83 Model 3 - similar to a Strat but a bit higher in quality (not considering the Custom shops models of the time) I guess I was stuck in the past regarding Fender. Thanks, I'm glad you brought me up to present time!   Mr_Roadstar (Mr_Roadstar) Posted on Friday, February 20, 2004 - 1:37 pm:    I test drove a Showmaster recently. Nice guitar, but outta my price range. I think the new Ibanez SZ models come very close for a lot less money. Considering how Jackson and Charvel have floundered since their heyday in the late '80's, perhaps Fender's buyout is a good thing. BTW, for anybody who misunderstood, the "Yeah, bolt-ons suck!" post was intended as a joke! It's called sarcasm folks... Cheers Steve
