I...I...haven't felt GAS is so long I'd forgotten what it's like...

I've been GAS-free for so long now I'd kind of forgotten what that insane gear lust feels like. Until today. I was browsing Guitars Canada and an Ontario builder posted about his new model, the Uptown, and man I've got that GAS ache happening now!

The model is a cool mix of retro and modern. The one in the video is a deep, wine red colour. The one that REALLY sparked the GAS pangs was in the video:

Wow! That two-tone with the unfinished maple and the sea foam green...mmmmmm.

Here's the video:



I think he's hit it out of the park with this design.

Those are pretty slick looking. I really dug the all white one... Curious, is the somewhat 'duller' tone on the lower frequency side typical of the 'F' hole design guitars? It seemed like it had almost a dead acoustic type sound on the low end of the string attack. Excuse my description terms, but its the best I can describe what I hear.

AxeFxII cured my G.A.S. but good! Now if only it cured my old man farts!

Interesting. I didn't pick up on that. I'll have to listen to it again. I'd say that's NOT typical of hollow bodies.

If an American diner and a '50's pin up girl had a baby, this guitar would be the result.

The bottom section with the knobs instantly reminded me of the 'Despicable Me' minions...

Pretty cool design, those look like Gretsch type pickups.
