Just bought myslef a Fernandes Ravelle sustainer guitar

[col5150]

woo hoo , cant wait till it gets here. shame its comin all the way from the states and will get held up in customs.

I always fancied one of these and $600 seemed really reasonable. Easpecially as, you hardly get these in the u.k. so if it sucks i could probably flog it on ebay for a small profit.

The harmony central reviews have it in the 9.'s for sound action yadayadayada

link: its a beauty

They don't use their guitars just the Sustainer pickups.

I guess their guitars might be reasonably ok.

All of this guitars/amps/effects is all personal taste + how much money you've got to spend.

The big problem IMO is places like guitar center, 99% of the people who work in those places don't have a fucking clue at what they are looking at.

I've went into guitar stores tried out guitars that i liked the look of and I go to the salespeople in there.....

"Ok, I like this but before I buy it I want you to set up properly"

they have said to me "That will cost you another 30 quid on top, mate".....

First off,

I am not their "Mate", I am their customer.

Secondly,

I am buying the guitar to play it. I'm a guitar player not somebodys fucking roadie or guitar tech.

Hence when Assholes in guitar shops tell me that bollocks I don't fucking buy anything from them.

Lol ,gotta agree with you on the sales guys, The majority of them dont know shit.


Although bizarely enough i was in sound control in scotland trying kramer 1984 (which i was un impressed with) and one of the sales guys came over about 40ish, he'd heard me arsing around on a couple of vh'esque riffs. we got talking and the guy took the guitar and for about fifteen minutes did a note for note job on a load of early evh solos. I had to laugh when the guy said ''sorry i dont realy know any of the hagar era stuff''
