Congrats Ehsaan, it is a great honour and recognition of your work. Wishing you more success in future too.

 

[sDEVs]

Wow... Congrats!!!

 

[Torvoraptor]

Congrats man. You're one of the few indian artists on my playlist,
saw you live last year, was actually disappointed you didn't let it rip with the guitar during the performance and just played to the needs of the song

Why don't you hold a meeting/guitar-signing/jam at some stores, I'm sure that'd help your signature model sales a lot, and generally seems like the sort of cool thing guitarists in India tend not to do.

Fender® Products

So any reviews and prices of these guitars?

I read somewhere on american boards that the quality of this guitar is good, and paint job is great.
But this is available only in India.
Strange - I don't get to see the price in rupees!

 

[Sumanovo razor]

its between 17 to 19k...

 

[mymusicmyguitar]

i checked one which was around 21K...Finish is awesome and well built..Plays well too..I liked the finish and build quality more than the sound

 

[Sumanovo razor]

adil rashid(lead guitarist of underground authority) is endorsed by gibson guitar corporation

OHHH does he have a Ehsaan squier as well??

 

[Sumanovo razor]

no he doesnt have...i dont think he'll be allowed to play that live...deepsal was telling amyt dutta is endorsed by prs...

 

[Sumanovo razor]

the paint job is just ausumn...hey mmmg does it sound as good as godin

 

[alpha1]

What about el-quality?
Say compared to Ibanez RG (at similar price, but Ibanez is with fixed bridge)

 

[mymusicmyguitar]

the paint job is just ausumn...hey mmmg does it sound as good as godin

Definitely not as good as Godin...Godin has a completely different feel. Thats why i mentioned i didnt like the tone for the price.
It was mellow sounding. Slightly higher output pickups would have done proper justice to it. In terms of tone, higher output and crunchier in comparision with Avion AV6 series which i tried along with it. Couldnt handle heavy chug sound efficiently. Didnt compare it with any of the Ibanez RG at that time...I had tried RGs long time back...and as far as i remember I would rate this one more than RGs for sure...
