Suhr Pro Series

Just plain awesome guitars that tune perfectly, sound great, and stand up to the rigors of constant playing, jamming, and gigging.

I have a Pro Series 3 and it's my "go to" guitar for most situations.

Note: The prices on the website are "list." Not retail.

I'd get a really sweet mandolin of some kind. I don't need another guitar or bass!

Cheers, Tim

A Deluxe Player's Strat and a Gretsch 5120, orange of course.

Canuckcaster · October 29th, 2008, 09:09 AM

How about one of those ES-339's They seem pretty sweet. Kind of an in-between guitar.

Used 335 or a used GE Smith.

I think for that amount of money you could get a decent electric, acoustic, and an amp on the used market, especially in the slow economy.

Now, in the $2000+ range, I am currently waiting on an all-aluminum guitar from http://www.myspace.com/electricalguitarcompany.

I should get it by the end of next month.

stantheman · October 29th, 2008, 10:27 AM

I'd get a Republic Tricone Relic Resonator and an Upright Bass and with the last 500 I'd get a Squire Fat Tele (the model with the set neck and jumbo frets) and add a set of Filtertrons which would make it a World Class Bang For The Buck Hall Of Famer!!!

RickG501 · October 29th, 2008, 10:46 AM

A whole $1500 to blow on a guitar...oh..uh....my head, it's spinning....OMG....thump!

zoppotrump · October 29th, 2008, 10:51 AM

ghosttour · October 29th, 2008, 10:59 AM

I'd buy a Creston - no question about it:

For me? $1500?

Two Mexi Fenders, a Blues Junior, then take my wife out on the town with the rest, to make up with her for spending so much money.

Oster · October 29th, 2008, 11:14 AM

A $250.00 Squier and $1250.00 worth of upgrades.

No, probably a Ric 360 or a vintage Jaguar.

They are located just an hour and a half from me . One of my buddies got serial number 001 of a newer body style! They sound great but the flat fingerboard on his kinda takes getting used to .

Sterling Indigo · October 29th, 2008, 12:14 PM

I'm in the same boat (mas o menos). Was going to go with either the 52 AVRI or the Hot Rod Deluxe. Now I am strongly considering a Thinline AND a Baja. Maybe I should just buy all four and put this issue to rest once and for all!

studio1087 · October 29th, 2008, 12:22 PM

Minty Used D-28.......keep it forever.

http://elderly.com/vintage/items/10U-4802.htm

I know that this is an electric forum but every picker should have a good acoustic for writing songs or picking parts or relaxing with. A good dread is like an old friend. Ya gotta have at least one.

John

Mark Davis · October 29th, 2008, 12:38 PM

A D-18 Martin or a D-28.

I already have an OM21 with the smaller body that I love but would like the D size for just a tad more bass respinse.
