While I was in Vegas, I went to Guitar Center and played a Fender Standard MIM Tele and I LOVED it! The feel was right, and the tone was oh soo...Beatles-esque! It was a pleasure to play, as far as my vintage guitar playing fetishes were concerned Now here's the twist: I also played the USA stuff like the Butterscotch RI and didn't think anything of it. They just didn't feel right or sound right to me. They weren't duds either, I just didn't have a firm liking for those MIA Teles, I guess In any case, this was quite strange to me because this is probably the first time I've preferred the lower-end model of a single guitar brand to the higher-end model I also loved the Daisy Rock guitars. Felt really smooth in my nimble fingers, with an economic fit to the body. Really dug them, the tone was right, the feel was superb, and the look...well, you'd have to win a coupla guitar battles to be safe playing that in public! Hahaha, but I plan to do something of the like, should I decide to get one.The last thing I played was a Crate V-Series. I was completely blown away. These amps have a very pleasing clean channel, and an even MORE pleasing gain structure. The tone reminded me of a lot of '70s rock, and occasionally The Beatles when the gain was rolled down. Fairly Marshall-esque, I'd say, but overall just very sweet and natural. I would get my hands on these amps if I could, their tone really justifies all the hype.Oh you poor sap with those Daist Rock guitars haha I kid I kid, and I played one of those Crate V series at the Gibson Factory in Nashville for literally a whole week all day everyday while the women shopped. Sounded amazing and I actually didn't know it was a Crate till months after and I was blown away.
I've never been to GC in Vegas, but I could LIVE at Ed Roman's World's Largest Guitar Store! It truly is the best guitar store I've ever walked into! Despite what people say about him on the net, his store is really something.
SNOBS! I tell you. I keep telling you guys how good those amps are but do you listen? NO!
