[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4976301, member: 19675"] Actually, the more I learn about stringed instruments, the more I'm of the opinion that they are just as varied as any other kind, including percussion. Its just that, unlike percussion instruments, we guitarists have a strong tendency to mess around with our sound using tech, so differences tend to disappear in the noise. It also tends to take a lot more money for the differences to become obvious. But you ask any of the tone-seeker pros (like Eric Johnson) and they'll tell you they can distinguish between guitars 1 serial-number digit apart in a production run. That doesn't sound familiar at all!;) My first guitar was an Alvarez POS. After I killed it, I got an Ovation Elite, and that was it for a while. But when I decided to go full-on electric, I just barely escaped that trap you just described. Many of my favorite artists play Gibsons, Fenders and Ibanezes...and I can't stand them, for the most part. But one- Steve Stevens- played a Dean Cadillac during his days with Billy Idol, and I tried one out and was hooked. I bought a Cadillac...[I]and[/I] an EVO Special Select. The EVO was the high-end entry-level workhorse guitar, the Caddy was my Arabian filly. Since then, though, I've been buying mostly luthier guitars, mainly the work of the aforementioned Jon Kammerer. Still love my Caddy though! Then again, I didn't buy a low-end one. The one I picked up was one of their top-of-the-line models, so it was a pro-level machine. My Caddy strongly resembles this one: [url]http://www.deanguitars.com/usalib/usanov30update/0300649TCC3TGE-A-Ardvarks80.jpg[/url] My EVO is actually the one that is used as my icon here, and looks basically like this one: [url=http://www.deanguitars.com/home.php]Dean Guitars - The Finest Guitars in the World[/url] [/QUOTE]
