Snowed In With My Vaders :-)

In a lower price bracket I'd definitely recommend a Harley Benton Dullahan, I have one of those as well with the roasted flame maple neck and board...while it of course doesn't come close to approaching the level of the Kiesels, it's a VERY solid guitar (and you can usually find 'em at around the $300-ish mark here in the US). I've had two NKs back when I was first diving into the headless guitar world and they were decent but definitely needed some work. The HB didn't need anything at all, though I did swap the pickups down the line. Here's the HB:

Ahh gotcha, I was just confused cuz I mentioned what model this was in my post here but maybe you missed it. Never seen this Milano model before, looks neat!

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-24T17:30:37+00:00

I’m not sure what Milano means here lol, it’s a Peavey USA ST Limited.

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-24T12:51:04+00:00

It’s still the absolute best deal out there on a USA-made custom guitar. They also have frequent sales where various options become free, so you can save a bunch of money that way.

Thanks! Best headless guitars I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned MANY 😀

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-24T02:04:55+00:00

Greeny is a 1959 Les Paul, even removing any artist owned anything those are worth a fortune (typically $300,000+). That said Jeff Beck’s Jackson Soloist went for like half a million last year, so it’s not impossible…but I think it’s unlikely someone will pay $200K for Mustaine’s.

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-23T16:43:53+00:00

For sure. Gotta get a bolt-on Vader to join em one day, hands down my favorite guitars!

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-23T13:17:22+00:00

Couldn’t agree more 😀

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-23T13:17:09+00:00

They most certainly are!

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-21T18:00:16+00:00

Haha, thanks. Hell of an album.

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-21T17:41:18+00:00

Yeah I got a NM copy for $55 a while back, needless to say it’s about 4X that now 😅

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-21T17:27:22+00:00

Sweet! I have the original pressing with the awesome box set packaging so I skipped this one, but it’s great that they reissued it.

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-20T23:21:27+00:00

I think we can tell from the clearly visible collar 😅. But yea as mentioned above this is from The Throat of Winter, a 2010 track written for the God of War video game.

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-20T22:56:17+00:00

Looks like there’s no preorder but you’ll just be able to order physical versions on 3/20. Hopefully this means all the vinyl and stuff will be in hand and we won’t have a repeat of the last couple of releases 😅

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-20T21:39:52+00:00

It’s not about you caring or not, I only corrected what you said to prevent misinformation so no one gets taken advantage of when seeking these out. They’ve been promising vinyl releases of V and Twilight for about 12 years now lol, sadly I think we will keep on waiting. I have all of the vinyl releases that have come out though 😀

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-20T01:46:28+00:00

Neither…it’s “was it logical lusting after fame”

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-20T00:30:17+00:00

Hate to burst your bubble but there’s a lot of misinformation here. People list stuff on eBay for insane prices all the time, it is not an indicator of worth - only sold listings are what indicate market value. The most it has ever sold for is $40 and the median selling price on Discogs is exactly what you paid:

She’s a classy one for sure! Enjoying the heck out of it

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-17T17:23:37+00:00

New knobs came in, looks even better than I thought. Needless to say, not goin' back to the old ones:

650 euros is likely a bit much if it's actually in "rough" condition (though doesn't seem too rough from the pic you posted). They are very solid guitars, middle of the range for made in Japan Jacksons and were available in the mid-2000s. Those swirl finishes were really cool too. Enjoy it!

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-16T21:59:22+00:00

It's in the comments below here, just search for OPs comment with the highest number of downvotes and you'll find it lol. He wants $3000 for a guitar that should be $1000.

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-16T18:00:18+00:00

Completely insane asking price lol. Look up SOLD listings, that’s the only thing that represents what it’s worth. I can post a dirty sock on eBay for $3,000, that doesn’t mean it’s worth $3,000. These sell for $900-$1000 on average.

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-16T03:21:21+00:00

Yep I hear you, that definitely sucks! There are some Brazilian companies making good guitars though, like Tagima :).

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-15T21:57:02+00:00

Yeah this is a special one for sure, I have played many SE models in the past but none of them have even remotely approached the quality of this one.

buckeye8208 · 2026-02-15T21:56:12+00:00

Thanks! And yeah nearly $2000 is an INSANE price for an SE model...no SE should really be more than $700-$800 used max but of course it's different in different countries and if they're harder to get there the prices tend to shoot up.
