sold
What "direction" are you heading toward?
FYI, she's beautiful.
Not sure excatly.
I have been wanting a Chambered Les Paul R8 for a while, and also found a cool old Artinger hollowbody.
I played the Equator for a couple hours this morning. So much fun through that Fender Twin. May change my mind.
SOLD!!! To a happy new hollowbody player. He's gunna be stoaked.
And a Soloway Gosling is on it's way to my house! Win-win!
Hey nice job Picture! Smooth transaction.

Are you the new owner?
Nope, just congratulating on what seemed like a quick sale.
I actually put it on the market a few months ago, but kept changing my mind and pulling it...I really liked that guitar. The new owner should love it.
A dude is selling his G2 style mini Equator for $1600 so he can buy a standard. I'm tempted. Might try to get him to come down on the price however.

It seems like there are plenty of satisfied Equator customers out there.
That's not a Mini, it's the PAL model.

You are correct. I just did my homework and found that out. ;D Anyway, it seems nice.
By the way, the scale is 93% of a 25 1/2, so is that more difficult to play with the smaller fret spacing?
No you are missunderstanding. The body of the guitar is %93 of the size of his standard model. So it's a smaller sound chamber. The neck is the same 25.5"
Not a bad guitar for the money. Assuming the neck is straight.
Thanks for clarifying man.
One thing to keep in mind about Equators is they tend to be neck heavy. Especially the PAL. So if that bothers you be forewarned.
Hmm, thanks. I bet the guitar wants to keep leaning downward on you then and you periodically would need to rotate it back up with your hand. That could detract from playing comfortably. How about I put a sizable weight on the bottom strap knob? :P
These are all good little tidbits.
Yes, and you could try the weight I supose.
For that money I'd buy the Black Soloway Gosling on eBay right now. I just got one, phenomenal hollowbodies.

Jim Soloway builds in Portland, Oregon and he has earned a great reputation on TGP amongst some really talented and knowledgeable players.

Just a heads up to you... David at EI sells the PAL models for $1500 new. However new doesnt include electronics. However guitar value decreases like car value... Seeing as the guitar has been giged with, it most likely has wear on it even if it's just minor or normal wear it is still wear on an instrument. If i were you I would talk him down or have David build you one... if thats the route you choose to go... although in my humble opinon you could do better for the money. (please understand im not bashing David... Many people have had good experiences with him and his guitars.) if its a "Doc" you crave... it might be better to Save for a year or two and buy a real one from paul or check out AO guitars if you have a "doc" inspired idea as paul isnt usually into too much customization... IE. pickups, switching, inlay(usually), scale, neck dimmentions, and so on.
