I've seen that,, pondered the thought,, but there is just something about the Groove tools 7 that just doesn't get it for me. I' ve been spoiled by the eye candy in the Custom shop. I have heard that they play amazing though. I guess you could strip the paint....

It's their mass production version of Conklin - sort of a "non-custom" custom.

They're supposed to be great guitars. If only they offered a fanned fretboard Groove Tools, I'd be all over that.

That's REALLY tempting at that price. Sub-$400, and... Eh, I shouldn't.

Thats nice. I like the color but I dont particularly care for the body shape.
Conklins are nice but I think i'll be sticking with Ibanez.

Korea I beleive, but the quality is awesome. I've played some of there Korean 7string bass's and man I'll tell you what they blew me away...... I just don't like the look of the groove tool 7 gtrs... they are just missing something... however for $400 or so I would say it would be a safe bet,,, the worse that could happen is it would be "just ok',,, or it would be your new favorite axe.

Still at $305 with just over an hour left...

My EDA's Korean, from the Cort factory - surprisingly well made. And I happen to love the looks of that thing - tell you what, if one of you guys wants to take a stab at it and can get it for less than $400, you could probably talk me into buying it off you if it turns out to be not your thing...

37 minutes, still $305.

Someone here buy that, please. I really shouldn't buy another guitar right now, but that's too cool to let pass from the community.
