Spector Guitars

Has anyone here had any personal experience with one? I would really like to know, I am thinking about picking up a used one from the GC website, but wanted to hear some testimonials first.

Thanks.

Bump.. anyone? I might have to bite the bullet, buy one, then do a review.

I've always thought they were beautiful and they look comfortable. Only seen one in person years ago at a concert and it sounded great (Skid Row opening for Pantera if I remember). If you play it and like it and it's afforrdable then why not go for it? Is this a neck-through or a bolt on? US or Japanese? I'm not sure if they were made elsewhere but I've seen OLP guitars shaped like the Spectors. One cool aspect is they are uncommon guitars; you're not likely going to come accross another one for sale for a long time. Unless the Utah market was flooded with them that is.

I think they look great, I plan on buying just one of the cheaper ARC6 Pro's in the online used gear section of GC, about $250. I could always swap out the pickups, if I didn't like the sound. Wood construction has always been top notch from Spector.

My brother Pat has a prototype Spector guitar. They built a few one year in the mid 90s for a NAMM show that yet another brother of mine named Peter went to. Peter worked at Veneman Music with Spector's own PJ Rubal, so he got a hold of a few of the NAMM prototypes. It's a great guitar, Pat still loves it and plays it as his main electric to this day. Made in Korea I believe. FANTASTIC look on stage. Very unique.
