I suspect theres alot of you here who are the same. A few years ago I had two of these
And I absolutely loved the pointy shape. Loved how they balanced when I played them, but I hated the wood combo, bolt on neck, and trem. Anyways after I sold them I never really looked at getting another pointy shaped guitar again. I keep meaning to pick up a Jackson Rhoads or Warrior, but theres always a soloist that I like better when an interesting used one pops up.
Anyways, I just realised this when I saw this picture
and thought, "Wow, I'd love to buy that!" for all of two seconds (would like it more if it was a six string and beveled though) and than realized I'd probably just prefer a nice soloist style guitar. Theres just something about the aesthetics/ergonomics (especially sitting) that just make it feel like a more legitimate guitar than a "pointy".
Am I just getting old or wise? Or do I just need an exceptional pointy to snap me out of this superstrat spell?
