Your thread wasn't hijacked. But you must be rather new to Internet posting or you would have notices lot of threads on Bandmix get hijacked within the first several posts. Not a place for control freaks for sure. Happens a lot. Nevertheless I referred to the signature D.G. guitar so as not to go to control freak jail.
Regardless I was responding more or less to what Mike said.
"Buy an instrument for how it sounds, unless you are just going to hang it on the wall for show. I think its stupid to pay more money for a 'road worn' (factory done) guitar, too. I was just looking at the various 'name' model Strats on the Sweetwater site - not that many right now. Mostly the differences were the pickups."
Just out of curiosity, Mike T, what signature guitar model were you posting about?
"I've got a Strat Lonestar with two SRV Strat pickups and a 'Pearly Gates' humbucker in the bridge position. The Strat pickups can get a bit noisy but that humbucker is sweet as can be." Who's signature model is that anyway... just curious.
I never tried SRV pickups but MS sound good to me.
