I AM IN LOVE with this jewel... dunno how I'll get it, as it's pretty darn expensive - but somehow, one day...

What do you guys think?

Why not get a 12 string one instead? I don't understand quite the point of doubling the D and G strings only ..

It's about the low end man I don't think doubled low end would sound that good don't forget this can go down to drop A like an electric baritone.

Good find, Cosmin.. that does sound very lush. Can you imagine how gorgeous that would sound tuned down to A ?

You could technically turn this into a hybrid, just slightly, but its a great effect.

That's an interesting model. I didn't know about this. That would be great for the band RED. You gonna get one for your band ARIA, Cosmin?

I found it for 2500 bucks on ebay I am VERY tempted to fritter money like there's no tomorrow!

This is one of those times where you have to show restraint when you really don't want to !

Well, for starters, I will invest some cash in my acoustic It's a very old (almost 40 years old) Gibson copy, made in Romania for being exported, back in 76'

It has an awesome tone and feel, as it was kept in great conditions, but I would like to install a preamp, new tuners a new bridge and take care of a few dents in the body, oh and new frets also!

It's already tuned to drop C

C-Maestro likes his dropped heavy tunings I should agree though that it sounds pretty kick ass in the Metal Metrics series..
