The 8 String "Leviathan"

Hop over to guitar.com and ask about Shamray. You'll get pretty much nothing but good responces. Besides from the muppets

Doctor J · 07-01-2005 04:52PM

I'm not doubting their abilities as instrument makers, I just would wire a grand to a Russian website, nor would I post a cheque

feylya · 07-01-2005 04:55PM

Meh, I think the same about sending money to Japan...

Doctor J · 07-01-2005 04:56PM

Nah, the Japanese gave us reliable cars and miniature electronics, as well as a load of quality guitars.

Russia gave us...

...

...umm, Lada?

VODKA, you fool!

Doctor J · 07-01-2005 05:09PM

Stalin?

VODKA, you fool!

LOL - wake up Doc!!

feylya · 07-01-2005 05:11PM

Was a lovely man. Made some quality instruments.

Doctor J · 07-01-2005 05:12PM

Meh, I'm still not sending them any money.

I wonder if they'd build a Shamray Stingray?

Ancient1 · 07-01-2005 05:14PM

They can build you a Shamray Balalaika.

Doctor J · 07-01-2005 05:37PM

Maybe with some locking tuners and a Floyd?

Ancient1 · 07-01-2005 05:47PM

Naturally, from the finest T-55 recycled tank steel.

feylya · 07-01-2005 06:21PM

Go and look at Shamray's work and be silent!

Ancient1 · 07-01-2005 06:28PM

I admit the reviews on Harmony Central are very good, but i would rather go with http://www.ranguitars.com/_en/index.htm

Doctor J · 07-01-2005 07:11PM

Derrick Nelson in Marlay Park makes guitars too. He made a 7 string hollowbody for Louis Stewart.

feylya · 07-01-2005 07:22PM

And how much did he charge?

Doctor J · 07-01-2005 07:24PM

I don't know, I'm neither of those guys.

feylya · 07-01-2005 07:25PM

Sheesh.

Right, well in case anyone is wondering, I have come to the notion that I will definetly be getting a fixed bridge in the stealth.

Pity I'll probably have to hold back on buying it for a good while now with the prospects of the amp.

Doctor J · 08-01-2005 10:55AM

I would always go for the guitar before the amp.

Really? Why so?

Doctor J · 08-01-2005 01:59PM

I think guitars are more personal, the guitar you'll play all the time, the amp only occasionally. If I had a guitar I wanted and an amp I wanted I don't think I'd be able to resist going for the guitar first. Just a personal thing really. If I were in your shoes I'd be getting the work started on the Stealth as soon as possible. It'd do my nut in to wait a day more than necessary for something like that

Oeneus · 08-01-2005 02:10PM

I agree. Guitars always come first.

But, I still believe that the amp is responsible for pretty much 90% of how you sound. eg. A £4000 Les Paul sounds as sh!t as a £50 squier on a 10w transister amp.

Doctor J · 08-01-2005 03:39PM

True, but how a guitar feels has a huge effect on how you play it and you'll frequently play it through other amps. It's rare you really get to crank your own amp as it ought to be cranked.

Has anyone heard a Nomad yet?

feylya · 08-01-2005 07:49PM

TBH, I'm insanely happy with the feel of my LTD. That's why I got a new amp and effects instead of a guitar.

Although, by the time that stuff gets here, I'll probably have enough for some purchases from Chris

No but I think Karl should get it Nomadder what

feylya · 08-01-2005 08:44PM

*moan*

*SLAP*

Doctor J · 08-01-2005 11:06PM

From the top drawer there John, very impressive

Karl Hungus · 09-01-2005 12:47AM

Hmm... Fair enough.
I've also been considering just sticking a deposit on the Nomad instead of busting my chops trying to get hold of the money asap.
Makes sense methinks.
