Even if it ends now, I don't think Old Dear turned out to be as heavy a favorite as predicted. Many expected it to wipe the floor with whatever the competition was.

Amber down by 6....it ain't over yet baby! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!!!
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

I gotta go with Geoff's Strat. That guitar has so much history behind it and is still going strong today.
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

AMber just can't close the final 10 votes...


Still, I am impressed at the showing for Amber. Old dear did not just walk away with it.
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

How can I continue to call myself a Les Paul man when I just voted for a Strat? :yell:

Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

Deep in the woodlands, the upside-down elves silently watched the goings-on below in the dell. Pixies sat in the trees as the wind rustled the leaves around them. There was something unusual afoot in the glades, and although they couldn't be certain what it was, they knew that Dora The Explorer would soon arrive and make everything right. The woodland folk had seen many unusual things, so they held their positions and stayed eerily silent. Only the keenest of eyes would have ever seen them.

Soon, Dora would come, and there would be singing and dancing. Oh how the glades would rustle, and even old Badger would emerge from his dark cave, smoking his pipe and lighting up the woodlands with the wise twinkle from his eyes, magnified through his little spectacles. Only here in the far-flung and forgotten corners of the forest was the silence the most remarkable thing. Even the usual feasting on nuts and berries had ceased, or at least been temporarily deferred while every eye peered through the leaves, from the mouths of caves and the boughs of the mighty trees.

Verily, t'was indeed the time when the power of the silence ruled the woodland. Even Dora herself would arrive quietly, knowing what might be to come. Of course she would be smiling and the elves and the pixies would acknowledge her only with their winks and twinkling eyes. Only Dora would see them, and only they would see Dora. Old Badger would see everything of course, and what his eyes couldn't see, he would know anyway.

And in their hearts of hearts, they would patiently await the moment when they would run into the clearing, and Dora would exclaim "WE DID IT!" and the music would begin and they would all dance just like Dora, long into the night, with the joyous abandon that only they could bestow upon such a time. Oh, how they danced !





Oi! Oi! Oi!

one looks like an unplayed and essentially unremarkable guitar that you can find on the rack at any typical guitar store, perhaps a high-end one given that it is in such good shape with an attractive top/finish ... it no doubt plays and sounds very good or even better than very good

one looks like it has kicked ass and taken names for decades

I've seen LPs like that by the dozen, I don't really get the hype to be honest. I gotta give it to Old Dear.

+1 to both of these.
I'm sure the Les Paul is a good sounding instrument but there were MUCH MORE unique and interesting instruments that I feel deserved much better in the voting rounds then they did.
It's just too hard to really get excited over a kind of instrument that I've seen a thousand times before all over internet forum boards

Old Dear however, I've never ever seen anything that looks quite like it
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

To be honest, with new guitars it's the other way round. Try telling one Strat from another in the same color. A figured top LP, or even a plaintop in sunburst, will look somewhat unique.

Of course then there's manufacturing flaws that Gibson also uses to make each one of their guitars unique :)
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

as much as i've always wanted an LP...i just don't get along with them.

old dear...well...i have a feeling we would get along just fine...:cool2:
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

That LP would eventually look like Old Dear...

Only it would rock HARDER getting there!
 
Re: The ULTIMATE SDUG Guitar Poll !!!!!!!

Amber was the right guitar to give Old Dear a run for her money, but I think the right result...
