I wouldn't sneer at a bargain like that. They're just the best for that ambient, atmospheric stuff. Serious gas that.incubus wrote:emcee wrote:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Air-guitar-/201500979974

The new PRS McCarty 594 looks interesting. They claim it has perfect intonation thanks to their new 24.594 scale length. They also claim the pickups sound like proper single coils when split. PRS actually has a pretty good track record in both of those regards so I'm interested to see how they pull it off:

Regarding new vs. used, it depends a lot on the company and the grade of instrument. For example, Gibson and G&L use Plek machines for their top-of-the-line instruments, and Suhr uses Pleks for all of their instruments, so you can count on those being consistently good quality with great setups. American PRS's and Prestige Ibanez's I've played have been consistently great in all regards. The ESP 400-series and above I've played have been consistently good but not always great. For acoustics, the Taylors I've played, including low-end models, have been consistently great, and the Seagulls I've played have been consistently good to great.

So 24.594 is the new "fanned fret" ??
Actually, (I might have already said this) I'm thinking about selling my fantastic Carvin because I really don't like anything under 25.5......for me I have more tuning issues with it.

It's kinda funny, I've never had intonation problems with good guitars once they are set up properly. Although my ES-175 is a bitch to get set up because of the stupid loose bridge. There are some kinds of chord structure that accentuate intonation issues though. It's much more of a problem on the road with humidity and temperature changes constantly whacking your guitars. But, that has nothing to do with scale length.incubus wrote:So 24.594 is the new "fanned fret" ??

I know scale length matters to some degree, but there are far more immediate culprits than that.
If you have to ask, you can't afford the answer
