Sooooo...how's the ltd distressed series?
Sooooo...how's the ltd distressed series?
I have The st 203 FR and I really like the guitar a lot but I ma not a fan of the relic finish. It doesn't look bad in person really (the neck looks a bit funny tho) but i have guitars over 20 years old that look no where near that beat up.
I have also played the ST 203 regular trem and it was killer - I actually plan on getting one of those at some point.
Now iF they would just release a LTD Joe Stump version strat with Scalloped frets I would be very happy!
I have the EC-256 AVG. First off the guitar doesn't have what I would call a relic-ed appearance. I consider relicing to happen over time of a well loved guitar. Mine looks straight up abused! Not realistically either around the binding, the bridge or even around the pickup rings. The hardware shows no wear at all. Not realistic at all, unless your guitar tech is a raging alcoholic and chooses hammers over screwdrivers, but the guitar is really cool looking. Not to mention it plays like a dream. Very comfortable. Very familiar, like an old best friend. The pickups don't sound bad at all. As a matter of fact they sound way better than one would expect from a $400 guitar. I'm impressed with the tuners as well. Nothing worse than not being able to stay in tune. I'm going with the Duncan relic-ed PAFs soon but the stocks are really decent sounding. I really like this guitar. I may get the black one and drop blackouts in it.
^ I really really want one of those!
