    Default Any HS guitars out there?

    I'm wondering if there are any mass produced HS guitars out there? Pickups mounted to the body (no pickguard). I'm looking for something in the sub-$900 range (not custom built), but not cheap chinese plywood either. The scale of the guitar doesn't matter, but prefer bolt on and alder or mahog body. Hardtail or vintage trem, no floyds. Thanks.

    Something like this:

    FYI, no one uses plywood anymore.
    "Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished." Isaiah 13:16

    "Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." Numbers 31:17-18

    Yah man. I know, I wish I was. But I like the string changing to be easy. And I like the extra chunk of wood in the back, in fact, I would prefer hardtail over vintage trem, but with vintage trem, it gives me another option to consider.

    This is pretty dope though.

    That's a sweet setup, the only change that I would've made on my axe would be to just have the 4th position as neck split.


    The pawnshop got the pickguard, I could have my strat setup that way, but it'd still have the PG.

    Nice, this is what I'm sort of of looking for and headed in the right direction.

    Only think I'd change is take off the HB ring and direct mount it to the body. GAS.

    Has a pickguard but still cool.

    I always liked SH better, like a tele with the twangy single bridge, and fat/thick sounding neck. This is obviously not for all music styles though.

    Hamer Californian for sure, with slanted neck pickup paralleling the slanted 27-fret fretboard.
