I have done a search for spear guitars on here and it turned up nothing so i said id raise awareness.

Im very interested in good gear for reasonable prices, i have and schecter hellraiser and a blackstar ht5 and may be leaning towards a spear guitar for my next buy.

Reasonably priced also: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2008-SPEAR-SHL-1-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-BLACK-WHITE-GRAPHIC_W0QQitemZ350160993406QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item350160993406&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262

I will note however that some of the inlays are quite off-putting.

Interesting looking guitars but those headstocks are seriously fugly.

Guitarist (UK) reviewed two of their guitars some months back. They got an ok review, decent guitars for the money if memory serves.
Interesting looking all the same, but then looks aren't everything!

That bass is awful!! It's looks like Nightmare out of Soul Calibur or something :eek:

Check out the Gibson SG from the same seller on ebay.

I think it looks cool.

Some of the wood grains are lovely, only ruined by the daft looking headstocks and that bass looks fugly...

It seems they are desperate to make them not look like standard (Gibson/Fenders), but don't have the imagination to come up with something different.

The bass in particular, that marble effect is beautiful.. but what the hell were they trying to achieve with that shape? I would imagine a hell of a lot more people would buy it if it were a standard contoured body shape without that extended whataver-the-hell-it-is.

Ibanez RG, Gibson Les Paul and Fender Tele clones.
The old reliables really. What are they made of though.....quality of woods, workmanship and the hardware too???
