Friends,

​

A Fender vibroverb 64 reissue from, 2003 just appeared locally. It's in mint state, a rare found, confirmed by a quick email to Fender where roughly 500 where done, by Fender custom shop

​

Its Handwired, P2P, and carries a series of mods that give it cascading overdrive capabilities, also a solid state to valve rectifier switch. European transformers, and a 15 inch speaker.

​

In my stack I've got a Lazy J 35 ( 1 of 1), a Matchless DC-30, a Marshall bluesbreaker 90s UK reissue, and a Fuchs overdrive supreme 50. These are used in the studio, stage and home. These are used 330 days of the year.

​

I'm missing that Fender blackface voice, ( altough the fuchs umble can get really close to it!). The fuchs also does a singing sustain cascading overdrive.

​

Is this a case of running there, or are there better expressions of a blackface Fender? I am avoiding overlapping amplifiers.

​

Hi reedit friends,

For the last better part of two decades, I have used a Fender GD 47 SCE ( Fenders halo guitar, grand dreadnought, single cut away, from the mid 2000s, designed by Guild).

The acoustic/electric cutaway GD-47SCE Dreadnought guitar is comprised of a solid, AA grade spruce top and solid rosewood back with natural finish and tortoise shell binding. An exclusive Fender/Fishman Pickup System with Acceleromter and blend control is added to the GD-47SCE, which also features Fender's special design low-mass bridge design and Grover tuning machines. Abalone position markers complete this guitar's appointments. US MSRP is $964.99.

Unfortunately this guitar is 4000 km away, and I find myself searching for a acoustic guitar to use at home, studio and stage.

This SIGMA SOMR 45 appeared locally, and I keep returning to the listing. There is just something about it.

It has Martin liquid metal pins, Martin Bronze strings, and a LR bags pickup system. Seller is asking 900 euros.

Body Size: 000-14 Fret Construction: Dovetail Neck Joint Top: Solid Sitka Spruce Back & Sides: Solid Indian Rosewood Neck: Mahogany, Low Profile Nut & Saddle: Bone Fingerboard & Bridge: Ebony Scale Length: 25.4” (645 mm) Neck width at nut: 1-3/4” (44,5 mm) Truss Rod: Two way Truss Rod Tuning Machines: Grover Gold Open-Gear w/ Butterbean Knobs Finish: Polished Gloss w/ Aging Toner Softshell Case: SSC-OM included Strings: D´Addario EXP16 List price: $ 1.650,00

Should I run there, or look elsewhere, such as a used eastman, or furch ?

Thank you!

Hi reedit friends

Back in 2005 I've bought a Fender Standard Stratocaster USA made, maple, with SSS configuration that has been my workhorse for the last two decades.

Back in 2020, I've bought a Fender Stratocaster Ultra, maple with noiseless SSS pickups that's just stellar.

Close to me, a listing of a Shur Korina appeared. It's a standard, with Korina body, Korina neck and Pau Ferro fretboard. It has 2 pick guards with SSV pickups in HSH and SSH configuration.

The sticker on the guitar is close to 6000 euros, and the seller is asking for 60% of the original price.

I've opted to reach out to the PRS community, as you have made a decision to opt for a boutique - custom guitar instead of a off-the-shelf model

I keep finding myself going back to the Shur listing.

What should one expect when comparing the off-The-shelf Fender Ultra to the Shur classic ?
