Ok, so for a while I had my heart set on an Epiphone archtop of some sort. At first I was looking at a Riviera, but then I played a Casino and enjoyed it, but then the issue with feedback worried me. I fell in love with the look of the Nick Valensi Riviera, but then they canceled the pretty color. For the past several months I've been planning to purchase a Fender Mustang, then customize the wiring. Well, just the other day I started seriously considering an Epiphone B.B. King Lucille. It's got a varitone, much like the Epiphone Jack Casady bass I'm in love with, so it comes with the ability to make multiple tones stock, which I was going to modify the mustang for. So right now it's mostly down to aesthetics. What it really all comes down to is which would I look best playing? Which would I look most unbelievably sexy playing?
all facetious immodesty aside, which would be better, in all of your opinions? Please not that despite the pictures, the Lucille has a rather larger body than the mustang.
For reference:
that loser from the strokes playing a guitar similar to a Lucille
some GUY playing a mustang
Also the other day; I thought of a posibility of how to accomplish that sort of branchy/viney half sleeve I've had an abstract image of stuck in my head. I was on Chris' new Saves The Day page and they have a new tattoo section, which had many pictures of the bird with stuff growing out of the cut in it's belly. I didn't know what this was from, so Nora informed me it was from the In Reverie album cover (Not actually buying CDs does unfortunately mean I usually miss out on album art). So I looked it up and I think it's an awesome image, cool art, and from a really good CD from one of my favoritest bands. So then I started thinking, I could possibly expand the viney stuff to wrap all over my arm. I'd want both the bird and the monkey. I could either place the bird on the inside of my arm and the monkey on the back, or the monkey on my back/shoulder (ooo unintended double meaning) and the bird on the back of my arm. I generally don't really like band tattoos, but Saves The Day has been one of my favorite bands for longer than any other band other than The Beatles.
Took a quiz earlier. Test in an hour. Rough draft due later today.
Naturally I'm stressing which guitar to get.
