I've also tried a couple of Hagstrom's in music shop and have been impressed - also nice guitars.

I got a Washburn HB35, which is beautifully finished guitar. In line with its styling, the pickups are not very hot - proobably similar to PAFs.]]> Opinions and Polls greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/buying-advice-opinions/#post-361666 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/buying-advice-opinions/#post-361645 Sat, 11 Dec 2010 01:02:56 +0000 Opinions and Polls bobblehat https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/buying-advice-opinions/#post-361645 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/buying-advice-opinions/#post-361634 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 21:23:41 +0000
Now I want a Semi too :(]]> Opinions and Polls RoundI https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/buying-advice-opinions/#post-361634 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/buying-advice-opinions/#post-361629 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 20:31:12 +0000
I've only played one of those - the Epi. I played it when I was looking around at semis and full hollowbodies. I liked it, but wanted something entirely different that what I already had. I also have a couple of Epi LPs. Although the tone is obviously different due to the body, the neck felt like an Epiphone and it had the same pickups. I do not think that's a bad thing. I can get a variety of tones including Jazzy ones with my stock Epi LP. It's just easier with the Sheraton.

I ended up with a Gretsch electromatic 5120. I just wanted something different.

I have not played the Hagstrom, but hear they are good.

I've also not played the Ibanez, but I do have two Ibanez solid-bodies that I enjoy. One of them was my starter guitar, although it is a step up from one. Both are doing as I expected. No problems.]]> Opinions and Polls rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/buying-advice-opinions/#post-361629 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/buying-advice-opinions/#post-40412 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 20:12:58 +0000
