Finally I made a decision!!!!

Ok so I've been looking for a new guitar.

I was tring to stay in a cheapo budget, but not finding anything I really liked. My wife saw I was struggling with the choices, so she finally broke down the other night and told me ,.."look, just save up for a month or so,...and get whatever you want,...within reason"

So Saturday I went over to a local shop here and played a bunch.
OMG man I played a Jackson SL3......this thing is just amazing!!! Is this what a good guitar feels like?!?!?!?!

I played some strats,...a couple ibanez,....a schecter,..bc rich,....but for me,...nothing compared to the jackson. Price is $1300.00

So here in a couple weeks,....I'm going get that bad boy!!!!

I've been playing on a lil $300 rg321 for a few years now,...and OMG there's no comparison! Pinch harmonics are so easy! and it's not a strain to do tapping licks!!!

I just had to blab to someone,..I'm totally stoked.... ;D

specs are:

Body: alder
Neck: neck thru body rock maple with scarf joint headstock
Fingerboard: rosewood
Frets: 24 jumbo frets
Bridge pickup: Seymour Duncan JB TB4 Humbucking Pickup
Middle pickup: Seymour Duncan SHR-1N Humbucking Pickup
Neck pickup: Seymour Duncan SHR-1N Humbucking Pickup
and a floyd rose in a pear tree

sethj , that is definite coolness! Your wife rocks! My wife is really cool about musical equipment too. A long time ago, I got her into playing bass. That way I didn't have to argue with her; I just got her on my side. Clever eh?
