Hey guys,

Does anyone have any experience with these? Sweetwater has them on special for $998 this weekend. I'd appreciate any insights, good or bad.

Thanks!

Thanks for the input, sounds like a good endorsement, except for the price. :)

I saw the GC ad previously, but these guitars are slightly different. The Sweetwater has a wraparound tailpiece and button tuners, whereas the GC model has a tune-o-matic bridge and tulip tuners. The list prices are $1999 vs $1299. I honestly don't know if there is much of a difference between these two, or not.

+1 for the wrap around tailpiece.

I would take the wrap tail Junior over the ABR.

The wrap-around version at Sweetwater...also has the rosewood fret board.

The ABR-GC version is the baked-maple fret board.

Oh crap.

I didn't know the SW was a wraptail.

Oh damn piss and hell.

The GC guitar is good for the money but the SW guitar is what you want.

Look at it this way in terms of looks and tone with the wraptail...

The ABR is the girl next door who's good lookin' as hell but all wholesome and churchy n' sheeit.

The wraptail is the hot redhead skank that will talk dirty all night long.

Which one do want to go out with?

This is a no brainer and no more to discuss.

Just hit the Buy Now over at SW.
