NGD coming... against all better judgement... It's here!!!

[bclaire]

Not going to say what it is yet but a friend of mine found it on a Guitar Center website and sent me the link - not thinking I'd actually buy it. It seemed just cheap enough to lure me in - especially after they dropped the price. Should arrive next Monday...

...like I need another guitar....

[Les Paul Lover]

Need..... want..... ain't the same thing!!!!

The main thing is that we still get excited by new guitars. As far as I'm concerned, amps and guitars are the only thing that can make me giddy with excitement like a kid before Xmas. I love that feeling!

What are you getting?

For some reason I think it's a fender Quad Reverb. Or a Duesenberg.

Defo must be a fender quad reverb. Let's not be silly here.

I'll guess it's a Tele. Something old or CS. I know how Billy loves his Teles.

Not a Tele... Duesenberg Rocket II

[Jondog]

That's a sweet looking axe! Congrats!!!

Sweet!!!!


What sort of pick ups did they out in it?

[bclaire]

From Duesenberg's website:

Rocket II
Originally the Rocket was a meant to be a unique item for the German rock guitarist Michael Schenker, but then ended up in the Duesenberg catalog. It was equipped, as expected, with a Grand Vintage and a Crunchbucker. On some versions we mounted a short Diamond Deluxe Tremola, which was only possible using a pretty tricky construction with custom made brackets.
Discontinued in 2014!

Yeah - a friend of mine always sends me these links on Messenger for ridiculously expensive guitars. But when he sent this, I was like 'that's cheap for that.' They typically go for $2700+ and they had this one for $1299. Then I went to the bank where I have a savings account that gets direct deposit (used to be for a car loan) and there was $1400 in it so I figured, hey why not?
