I am no doubt the only one, but I quite like the Epi headstock when it’s on the semi-hollows. This looks great!

Nope I think they're great, if you look back to the Casinos and such, why would you want anything else?

If you really can't live with it fair enough. But if its a brand thing - I know it isn't with double coil - get over yourself, if it plays and sounds good, it is good.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Watched an interview with Brian May today and he was talking to the audience about acoustic guitars, someone asked him what he would buy if he was going to get a top of the line acoustic. He replied, "I normally don't go for the expensive ones, it's the cheaper ones that usually have all the character."

And that's coming from someone with more than £100 million in the bank :thumbup:

I feel that.
There’s something nice about an expensive guitar (of which I own none, but my friends do), but he’s right.

I guess 'expensive' is also a relative term. My Les Paul to me is an expensive guitar, but to some of the folks on here the price I paid would barely raise an eyebrow. I have also found that price isn't indicative of whether or not you'll bond with an instrument, well for me anyway.

sounds like just being annoying, any fool can see and hear the tones in a really good one, sure there are some cheap ones that are nice and some dear ones that are weak but come-on a lowden or top taylor will pants a cheap one
definitely more so than in electrics because the wood quality and construction are everything to the tone

If you want the best car, the car that ticks all the boxes for practicality, does everything a car needs to, is cheap to run, blah, blah...you'd drive the top of the owner satisfaction lists, the Toyotas and Hyundais. But I bet you would put more value on how the car looks or drives or accelerates or makes you feel. Brian can buy thousands of topline acoustics, but they don't have the qualities he needs to want to play them. Darcy Perry has/had a cheap acoustic which has no sustain, no top end and a limited bass. It's not going to be any good for a James Taylor finger style workout, but it is a mid-range blues machine. Add a slide and you pump out Delta licks that sound wonderful, they just fall out of it. The instrument cost about the same as briming the tank of a Commodore right now. The point is: money no object we would all buy what we want, some want a bespoke Martin or Taylor, some a cheap beater. It just needs to speak to you.
Tin arse!!
