The only Guild B-301/302 I remember seeing anyone play was Ali McMordie's B-302 from the early years of Stiff Little Fingers. I once wrote him about it, and let's just say he doesn't remember it fondly.

Yep. But it will be okay to discuss them in the brand forums too.

Don't get all excited. It was just silver, not chrome.  ;)

I see this has been up on YouTube for awhile, but I hadn't seen it before:

Well, that could be bad news, or it could mean making room for a new model or two. We'll know by late this week.

I see that Music123 is showing a price drop on the Mon(k)ey, now $999. But it's not shown as a closeout...yet.

The Dodge Nitro, huh? Is that a nitro-burning funny car?  ;)

I'll bet the Dodge Poly is more durable.  ;D

I didn't realize anyone had bought the Artec yet, but the inner construction looked the same, at least from the photos I saw on eBay. With that, and if they use #42 AWG wire to get that 30K, chances are it will sound very much like the originals.

Interesting. I don't know if any of the other Fender Japan models have raised A & D poles, but on a model that's being exported to the US, you'd think they'd at least notice the problem. Guess not.

Thanks, Tony. That looks like an interesting site, I'll add their press release section to my RSS feeds.

Do you mean you have one on order from the US custom shop, or an import model?

I know the US custom shop is very flexible on what they're willing to do, especially using one of their standard shapes as a platform.

Gibson missed their chance doing a Jack Bruce Reissue EB-1.  That is a short scale solid body bass icon!  They could use the same pickup as the SG RI, 460 Schaller bridge and working tuners and they would have a great sounding bass.  And they could do a few carved maple top variations  and double pickup versions for "GOWs"

Reid

You never know, it could happen. Jack's involvement would be doubtful, though, since he's a Warwick endorser.

There was a short-lived Epi EB-1 reissue a few years back. It had a strange looking matte finish. gweimer owned a fretless one for awhile and IIRC did some extensive mods to it. The only ones I saw in stores were set up so badly they were hardly playable.

I know nothing personally about the quality of Reranch products but nitro has never been known for its durability.
