Sure ricky's have a sound, and Im sure lots of people like how they play, I just am not one of them. No slam on the brand, just my opinion.

I'm about to drop $4,000 on a vintage Flying V
I got to test-drive a V through a Mesa Boogie rig and I almost bought the whole lot right there. Side-note: I actually applied to work for Mesa and got an interview but declined because I had accepted my current audio gig.
I always liked the Gibson Explorer though. Sweet guitar!
I was a huge Scorpions fan...

Damn Chief, that 37 D28 Sunburst is one sweet guitar! Actually ALL them are pretty sweet things. I'm pickin' one of my Martins in an open D tuning right now, with a small glass of Makers Mark!
Peace

Replying to the OP
Breedloves are awesome. Located in Bend, Or the have a really beautiful headquarters that you can tour. Yours is prolly a Korean model but they all run through the Bend shop for QA.
I'm an amature player at best and own 7 guitars ranging between 2 and 8k each, having two built and have about 10k in amps and gear. Collecting guitars, amps and pedals is just as much of a hobby as playing for me.
The way I look at it is having a good tone that speaks to your ear is worth the $ if it inspires your inner musical muse. So many would be players start and quit because the cheap starter guitar they bought sounds like crap and is hard to play.
My 2 cents

EKat....damn sweet guitar.....uh I mean work of art! The fan frets are pretty interesting, LOVE the work on the back with the inlays and how it's incorporated with the cut out. I would only imagine it sounds as beautiful as it looks. Thanks for that post.

Hey eKat did you guys see the article in the latest "Acoustic Guitar" magazine on Mandoline Brothers??? to quote, "Amoung other acoustic highlights in the high end room were flattops from....Mark Blanchard...".
Just thought I'd give him a plug and check out the article on page 70 of the May 2011 issue.

I went to McCabe's in Santa Monica and played a Collings dreadnaught. Boy, do I wish I had the bucks for that thing! I have never heard such sound come out of such an inauspicious looking instrument.
