    That's one loaded guitar. Suddenly the $2600 price tag doesn't seem that bad. More worth it than Gibson Standards for sure.

    • @Eccentrics
      @Eccentrics 9 років тому +25

      Linh Nguyen It's a great guitar. I own the 7 string version of the arctic dream. Give it a try. It's very comfortable to play.

    • @LinhNguyen-im4uu

      Aman Hassan If I could afford it I would for sure haha. $1k guitars are good enough for a bedroom player like me anyhow.

    • @Eccentrics
      @Eccentrics 9 років тому +30

      Linh Nguyen I understand. Well here is to hoping that one day you can afford it.
      Keep playing,keep practicing. :)

      $1000 guitars are good enough for anyone. I know a luthier who can make anything for $1500. The stupid electronics are what cost money.

    I went to see Dream Theater live on their last tour and was excited to see John play guitar, but for some reason John wasn't performing, Hagrid was playing guitar instead. I never knew Hagrid could play guitar though, it was interesting.

    As silly as it sounds, this is tough for me to watch, because it was filmed at the time I was working at this GC location. Of course I wasn't scheduled to work that day, and I didn't find out that he was making an appearance till the day after. I know, wah wah wah...still wish I had known before the fact, just to show up and listen haha.

    Awesome guitar, it may be expensive for an electric but it's fully loaded and the craftsmanship is superb. Besides, in comparison to a high end classical guitar then it's pretty cheap, lol, a 2000 USD classical guitar would be a super affordable concert guitar. I feel it's fairly priced, especially for a signature model, that alone would normally ake the price go up substantially.
