OK, so looks like I’m back in the market for a guitar again. The Michael Kelly is great, but I still want a single cut to round out the collection and then I should be good for awhile. Right now an Agile 3000/3100 is definitely in the mix along with several others. I’m planning on hitting the SA/GC thing this weekend to try out a few things I think they might have. I’m most interested in trying out an Epiphone Custom. I’ve played a lot of standards and hated every one of them, but never a custom. They should have an Ibanez art or arz to look at as well. If I can get my hands on an LTD ec-401vf, Id be really happy to check one out. These are the thicker body, 22 fret models with Seymour’s. Stranger things have happened, but right now I’m looking to stay more traditional, so I’m looking to get something with 22 frets and with body cutouts to a minimum.
I’ve also recently started looking at these Raven West guitars.

The tops look stunning, but they are pretty decked out in the abalone and shiny stuff and we all know that comes at a cost and some sacrifices, so it scares me a bit seeing the $419 price tag. Anyone have any experience with these?
I figure if nothing moves me enough to make a purchase, I’ll pull the trigger on an Agile and finally get to take a look.
Now we come to the important stuff. Guitar shopping as we all know is hard work and I’m probably going to end up pretty hungry by the time I’m finished, so I’m wondering what the consensus is on the best place to grab some chow. Like guitars. I’m looking at the affordable stuff here, so fine dining like bob evans, red lobster and outback steakhouse is out of the question. Anyway, poll is up.
