If the GMC community were to collaboratively design a guitar, what would it look and sound like? You'll notice I didn't put every single option available - thats just not possible. I've limited it to the most common options available. Sorry, there shall be no bubinga bodied guitar here. Plus I'm limited to only ten questions, so I'm sure I've left something out.

Kind of funny since I asked for a Charvel like super strat and out came something completely different. This machine is broken You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Kind of funny since I asked for a Charvel like super strat and out came something completely different. This machine is broken Well the thing is there are two different types of Strat bodies, and if you add up the votes for both of them the Strat shape wins. I should have divided up the Les Paul shape as well, into regular and ESP Eclipse style. QUOTE (Bogdan Radovic @ Sep 20 2010, 10:54 AM) I voted for swamp ash! Thank you, some diversity! QUOTE (Zsolt Galambos @ Sep 20 2010, 10:55 AM) Voted! And I didn't think that 90 % for what I woted would be for what the community voted so far... So what did you vote for if you don't mind me asking? I'm just curious what the magnificent Zsolt would like to play You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
