Its definitley the guitar I want... well I would like one of the very expensive PRS dragon models(the massive inlaid ones that go for like 10 to 20 thousand bucks),but I'm bind by reality.Like I said,it would be my semi-custom answer to the jem(and without that stupid monkey grip).

My friend had played a strat with a maple fretboard for a long time.It was pretty worn and darker then any fresh board.He took it to a g-shop to have it setup and cleaned,specifically the fretboard.The guy told him maple necks are unique to the fact that they aquire character with use and age.It shows the areas of medium that you express yourelf on...

Yeah,I'll just stain it.
