The inspired by is better

[hardy root]

okay

isn't a crazy deal

the guitar + the gig bag for 380

[glacial vault]

They r 700 or so new so that’s about as expected

[hardy root]

ohh

damn i dont see why ppl will buy new in general

[fallow dragon]

Do you want the thick 50s neck??

That thing is CHUNKY

I returned my 50s neck

[hardy root]

I don’t know the difference

[fallow dragon]

It’s a lot more to wrap your hand around

[hardy root]

There’s also 60s going for the same price

One in black and one in silver

[fallow dragon]

60s is way more modern

[hardy root]

[fallow dragon]

np

i bought a 60s, the 50s was way too big

[hardy root]

I wish i didnt hate black guitars

This is your local guitar center right? I assume you played it? I wouldnt worry about the thick neck if you liked it. Its a preference thing.

[hardy root]
