your the highest bidder, i say get it, if it sucks, then you saved money and can get a new pickup, pre-amp, saddle, and lower the action.

ya, but i don't know what the reserve is at, and i don't think i want to pay more than $200 for it, since I can get a new one shipped to me for $350

your calling me a moron cause i have an opinion. I said I didnt like it not that he wouldnt. In my personal opinion I would suggest not to get it. Dont call me a moron for having an opinion on a guitar.

He asked you to suggest what to get instead of the Alvarez... you gave him no feedback...

Secondly, I'd like to hear your reasons for not liking them.

Well i suggest he get an Ibanez. They are very good guitars and they arent very expensive either. And the reason I dont like this guitar is because its too big for one thing though that is a personal preference thing. I dont like the way the equalizer is set up. I like the way Fishmans are on like an Ibanez AEF i think it is. Its also a peg bridge which is basically all you can find now, its what i have , but i prefer not to have a bridge with the pegs. They are a huge hassle especially when they break. I've played two Taks almost exactly like this one, though i do know that there could be huge differences between them, I dont like the way they play. Again its too much to get your arm over the action is really high on them also. So thats pretty much why I dont like it. But its all based on personal preference.

I think that's exactly what you should have said the first time :)

Thank you :D

Here is a link to the kind of guitar im talking about. Scroll down to see the closer pictures. Notice the Equalizer and the thickness of the body and everything. Just my personal preference. The reason I like this equalizer better is because it gives you more options to work with.

Take advantage of this guitar on e-bay if your interested they are normally 500 if it isnt already up that high in bids.
