I've decided it's time I start saving for my next axe, since both of the options I'm looking at would bankrupt a small country...

I'm thinking of either getting a nice, possibly custom built guitar from Electrical Guitar Company (I've been dying for the sound of an aluminum guitar) or perhaps importing one of the many kickass Fender Japan guitars. 8)

Either way, I have plenty of time to decide..... amp (I went with a Hotrod Deluxe by the way, and I'm really lovin it!) and polychorus (in the mail right now) set me back to just about $0.... EGC guitars cost AT LEAST $2200. :shock:

i think doris is probably my favorite from them.... sounds so.... dissonant

also, im not sure but you may have issues getting that on itunes, since albini and most of his associated projects are veeeeeeeeeeeeery indie... when in doubt, buy rare used cds from amazon! 8)

gave it a try Floyd, just not my taste, 50+, plenty of room for everyone though, by the way is this the same Steve Albini

Every time somebody brings up the idea of a new semi custom the "danger" flag raises here.

Gotta kinda building urge for a Carvin Burger King Model. "Have it your way."

Man, they have some HOT axes and options! Ow!
