Congrats.
And if you can swing it, look at the 3000 series. Been a while since I did the comparison shopping, but seem to remember the improvements on the 3000 models were well worth the extra 100 you'd pay. But hey, maybe things have changed. Either way, "it's a nice choice"

That makes me want to cry if that's the one he got. I just love that color Daphne blue. Fenders to me just don't look right unless they are a simple solid color with a pick guard. That's what I love about them beauty in its simplicity.

Congradulations on your find. It may take some wheeling and dealing but I will have a fender one day.

Do you prefer the HSS or SSS?

Mine's an SSS. Never played the HSS. I'm sure at some point, I'll own one

I really do love my Fenders. I don't even look at other guitars now. I know I won't play them.

Does anyone else have anything to say about this? I've got 100 bucks in MF certs to use by the end of january, and i'm looking to use that on an amp (skipped getting the amp originally because I decided I'd just use rocksmith at first).

Edit: looks like it's pretty much $110 everywhere, so it's not a huge discount, but I guess I could still use some input on what a good amp around the $100 range would be if anyone has any suggestions.

Everyone that I know that has one loves it. They're solid little amps. I bought one of the GDEC amps when they cut the prices to nothing on them and I like it a lot. It's not far from one of the Mustang amps. Good for practicing and a lot of fun to mess around with the sounds and see what you can coax out of them.

I was wondering has anyone broken 100,000,00 in scale runner?

I got the trophy and stayed away for a while since I thought I would mess up my high scores up. Gave it another try and with out to much effort added another 17 mill to my score. Not to 100 mill yet since harmonic minor and phrygian dominant are still giving me some trouble.

I don't ever play scale runner. I'm a country/southern rock guy, so I practice first position scales outside of the game instead. They're more useful to me for the stuff I play/write.

Looks like those Legacy guitars are getting pretty damn popular to be #1/#2 on the Amazon electric sellers list. They apparently put out a P-bass copy in December too...

I own one. Bought a white one a while back for $79.99. Was quite a bargain IMO. Finish was flawless, frets were flawless, and I love the highly polished neck. Just had to change the stock strings, as I would with any guitar. Stock strings couldn't be intonated.

Yeah, got as high as 160mil before the August patch wiped out my scores. Kinda went on a SR binge over the summer.

Know I had all scales over 14mil. Was working on getting them all to 14.5 but don't remember if I did that. And I think the max is 15mil; at least read that somewher on the webz

Actually thinking of erasing my profile+patches just to see if it fixes SR. But just wanna wrap up the last couple of cheevos for the original 1k. Not that I care about the cheevos, but rather I set that as a personal goal.

Ya mean an electric or bass. Just wondering

In a way, glad I haven't gone all bass crazy too. I'd be in serious trouble then

Electric. Easily worth the $80 for me. It will hold me over until I get a Flying V

That's pretty freakn good. I don't play it much. I mainly use it as a gauge. Come back to it once every few weeks or so and see how much my score improves since the last time.

Helps keep me motivated since most of my practice is outside of rocksmith now. Ordered a few books to keep things fresh.

Has anyone tried the gibson learn and master program. Its expensive but considering how much I have spent ob guitars and the amount of time I put in it really isn't that much. I downloaded the free course books on their site to give me an idea of what it has to offer. Taking my time since if I am going to buy all those dvds don't want to already be threw part of the coursr before I get them.

Rocksmith (new version) deals are mostly done. But here are a couple that are still going:
Amazon sitll has the retail PC version @ $37.99
http://www.amazon.com/Rocksmith-Guit...ords=rocksmith
J&R music has the 360 & PS3 versions @ $59.99
http://www.jr.com/product/productLis...uitar+and+bass
Gamestop online has 360, PS3 and PC @ $59.99
http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=1...uitar+and+bass

And American Musical Supply has the 70s Tribute SG in silverburst @ $559
http://www.americanmusical.com/RSS_F...eklydeals.aspx
Nice alternate if you missed the SamAsh deal of 500

Same here. Rarely go into it since the borked saves issues. But when I do, it'll be for one or two scales and to see how well I do.

Consider it good if I hit 14mil. Of course, my gamer OCD kicks in whenever I don't hit it and keep at it for a few more runs

Dunno if its just the store I'm at right now but best buy has many amps at 20% off right now until Feb 3 according to tags.

What was it that you didn't like about you prs se paul allender?

I think my deal fell through on getting an american standard. I am really loving my prs se 245 with its wide fat neck. Thinking of getting another se. Not sure about the wide thin neck or the 25" scale. I am not sure a 1/2 inch woul be enough difference. The main part I don't like about my 245 is the nut is tight and I don't have tools to widen it up to allow for 10/11 strings.

Its just really hard to decide when they have so many signature models in the se line.

I don't seem to be a fan of the Xtra Jumbo frets. Guess it's just not what I'm used to. No matter what I play, I seem to come back to the Strat. The last time I used the Viper (which has XJ frets, as well) it was just really uncomfortable. Both of those may find their way on to eBay soon.

Ok thanks for the input. Really like the specs se clint model. But he just had to put some goofy inlays on it. Would have been perfect without them. Maybe a custom 24 or that new 7 string.

Consider yourself blessed having found your perfect brand. Makes things easier I am sure. But trying new one is fun as a certain member with 7 guitars already knows.

Ahh, but I bought and sold a bunch to get to that point...

Epi LP II Special
Cort J Triggs model
Oscar Schmidt ES-335 clone
Epiphone acoustic/electric


There were a few more that I honestly just can't even remember.

Now it's 4 Fenders, a ESP LTD Viper 300, PRS Paul Allender SE, Ovation A/E, Washburn A/E and that's it. If I had any thoughts that the Pawn Shop Fender would go cheaper or I'd be able to find at least 1 more Fender from Best Buy, I'd get rid of the 2 non Fenders.

I may do that, anyway, once I get my jaguar case (so I have a shipping box for one of them)...
