Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe: Asian Awesome Entries

Only 11 Asian origin guitars in here? I find that difficult to believe.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe: Asian Awesome Entries

Ace will there be a builder poll? 'Cause I have a Korean made Neck-thru, once a 2008 Swing EZ-10 where the ONLY thing "stock" is the wood that I'd like to enter.
Granted it was a finished guitar when I first bought her but from the very beginning, as far as I was concerned, I was just buying the first part i.e the body+neck part of a complete (re)build (and I have the threads here on SDUGF to prove it ). I got her from this:

into this:

And yes, these are the SDUGF FuglyBuckers, and THEY ROCK!

If we're having such a poll then I'll reserve her for that and choose my AMAZING 2008 Michael Kelly Patriot Limited for this poll instead:

I mean, she sounds as good as she looks and that's a FLAMED, SPAWLTED Maple Top (ok, it's a veneer over an actual plain maple top but still!!)

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe: Asian Awesome Entries

I would like to submit the baddest beast in my arsenal. The Warbird.
SH-6 bridge, kept in drop-C. Fat neck, weighs a ton of bricks around your neck, but nothing sounds as nasty.
Korean built like a tank, if you need to knock someone out cold with one shot to the skull, this wouldn't even drop out of tune.

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe: Asian Awesome Entries

Man, nice pron here!!! That Toke-eye and Bernie Marson SE are sweet!! That is one of the most beatiful SE's Ive ever seen...

Those Ibanez Artist prestige's are supposed to be amazing and are fetching big bux IIRC.

I have foolishly sold some of my most standout imports. I cant decide whether to throw in my Charvel or my Burny.. Or my changling Rg570

Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe: Asian Awesome Entries

I'll play with my MIJ 1994 Washburn LTD 1994 Acoustic. Solid spruce top with a solid Koa back and sides mahogany neck and rosewood board and bridge. She also now has a D-Tar quick lock pickup system installed. This is one GREAT sounding playing and looking guitar.

^ With Lace Deathbuckers/SD hotrail ...before I put these in:




So now it's active with a Blackout modular preamp & AS-1 in the middle...

Let's go guys - I KNOW there are way more Ibby, Yamaha, Dean, and other brands from the Peninsula than this!!!!

Let's make this an epic battle of the working man's guitar.

Mm, sparkly; well played, sir.

That blue ESP Tele is just the thing for this category.

Curious to see which one it'll be .
