Just because I'm bored... doesn't have to own/played it yourself. GO!!

u go first le TS

Guitar

hard to choose leh, Huber, Anderson, and Suhr (if they are still considered boutique)

Mine changes from time to time.. Currently though:

Guitars - Deimel





I love it's slightly quirky yet traditional shapes, with many tones not associated with the design. Plenty of color choices as well. Not a lot of demo or reviews in the net though.

Amps and Pedals.. another post later

pfft...boutique is just a term used for companies with no money.
fender was 'boutique' back in the 50s, PRS was 'boutique' in the 80s...
dunno which of these guitar companies start out by having the aim to be the best boutique manufacturer there is...sure all want to grow big and conquer the world...like suhr now

b3 metal xs franken les paul strat

Let me show you the world of fancy coffee table tops !


Manne Taos


Dell'Isola Guitars - that leather wrap around the horn is genius

This is my kind of guitar..

Caparison Horus Walnut Maple combo

Of course, Hiwatts..


.. and Farndurks

if only you want to put it that way..

I don't mind if they're cheap danelectros or expensive Collings la, I dont care that much about the term also, just want to see peoples favourite other than the usual stuff like strats and LPs. Also there are so many small luthiers now, perhaps you'll see something new here that you'll like?

Didn't know b3 has a strat?? I kind of like their Phoenix guitar.

and then there are some local carpenters who think they're world's best

but a guitar is just a neck joined to a body.
how much nicer can a neck get? how much more comfortable can a body get?
theres only so much innovation that a carpenter can do.
while the real innovations ppl just throw aside...like robot tuners

enjoy a bit la... dun be so negative. hehe

A matter of preference.. we all know most guitarist are hopelessly traditionalist.

And there are those who want something different, which the big companies wouldn't do.

nice right the b3 strat, yeah basically everything from premier builder's guild is in my favs, fano's stuff look magnificent too!

theres quite a lot of stuff in the boutique market that does improve the guitar significantly,

the reason people bash robot tuners is that its relatively short life, difficult to use and can be unreliable.

actually i kinda disagree, guitars have probably the most innovation in all music instruments that works on a non-digital format. the problem is a lot of companies have gimmicky innovations, things that dont really contribute to any change.

but yea i agree that boutiques satisfy what big companies wont do without a large fee

like what stuff?

hubers/anderons neck joint

anderons eletronic wizardry

cant think one for suhr tho lol

haha.
I'd say the same for pedals too for them to charge ridiculous prices.

thread of this pix need

current GAS

Anderson Drop top


Suhr S3

yea, well i did say not much neck / body innovations that can be done anymore.
the huber neck joint is actually nothing special.
years ago washburn had the stephen's extended cutaway which i feel is way better.

anyway the last bootiqqq manufacturer i kinda fancied was radix from indonesia...but i think they now quite big already...so no longer bootik.

well, i cant remember all of them but there are a few out there, my teacher had one that was built like a clam, then theres the carbon fibre, its not famous, thats all

hubers neck joint? its amazing, looks simple enough but no one does it.
