    And yet... YOU'RE WRONG!!
    (ha ha - just fecking with you)

  2. I also said that, the inlays on the bridge and the whole body looked VERY Gibson to me (not like ANY existing Gibson, but a-la Gibson's style, got me?)

    Thankyou Sergio! See Jeff? I wasn't only one who felt there was a certain Gibson joie de vie about it lol! They probably copied the style from Gibson if nothing else...

    And yet you are STILL wrong.

    (Just messing with you)

    THe neck inlays might suggest Gibson but the body doesn't. Single cutaway and humbuckers does not a GIbson make.
  5. Yeah, the humbuckers made it strange, but the inlays and the body suggested gibson-sih feeling to me. Anyway the only Maranello I knew so far was this one:


  6. By the way, anybody else feels that the Paul Reed Smith are FUCKING GORGEOUS?!?!!?

    OMG!
  7. They are gorgeous guitars. I prefer thier thinline hollowbody and hollowbody guitars. NICE sounding and playing instruments, those.

    Meh, I have a fairly uneducated eye lol...

    I'm not a fan - my friend has a PRS SE, plays nicely, but I don't like the aesthetics, i.e. general looks and appearances.
  9. Yes, you have a general eye... and your eye is WRONG!

    Seriously, I'm just fecking with you. I know you have more than a clue. I can see that a single cutaway with the neck inlays it has might have one consider that it might be a Gibson but... yeah

    I can agree that PRS guitar look and sound great. But I am still not RUSHING to get one.

    lol, seriously, it's not of the greatest concern (for either of us, I suspect) - I thought it might have been an LP, but we established that it was in fact a Maranello. What would be of more interest would be to know a bit more about Maranello, just 'cause I'm a bit bored lol - do they copy traditional designs but change them so they look slightly different? Or would it be fairer to say that they're as much a genuine company with original designs as are Gibson, Fender, Gretsch etc.??
  11. I've just played my first Stratocaster EVER!!!!!!!!!

    A friend of mine has come back for a 2-years travel from the USA, and he's come with a Eric Clapton Strat!! When he knocked at my door with that darn great guitar on his right hand, I hardly could believe it. We've been playing the whole evening and right now he's leaving my house...

    That guitar sounds GREAT and looks GREAT... I've fall in love with Strat again, after my Les Paul affair


    Here are some pics:








    Maybe someone knows when and where was it made, I have the Serial Number (Z4035117):


    I'm HAPPY right now. It's the first Strat I've played ever, and I've been craving this sensation way too much time

    Just so you know, Sergio: It's illegal to marry a guitar...

    Anyway, great pics...the Strat is indeed a beauty....
