Is DiMarzio Cruiser right choice for me?
« on: October 09, 2016, 11:01:44 AM »
Hi guys, it's Paul again.

Wanted to say... long story short. About week ago I was on guitar meeting where I've met one really cool builder. He mainly makes Les Paul and Strat guitars for a very cheap price. He offered me to make guitar body + neck for 400€, + the price of the electronic/pickups/bridge/tuners. I really like idea of having custom guitar so.. I'm into it now. I also sold my Blade Stratocaster to my best friend for a really cool price... now I just need to get rid of Fender American Deluxe. :D Anyway..

I'm also writing this as a PRS fan.. I always like the sound of PRS Swamp Ash Special Narrowfield. Of couse I really can't afford 3000€ guitar.. so I'm stuck with alternatives. So.. is the DiMarzio Crusier good choice for me?

Demos of PRS are:

And another PRS model demo, but this is on Korina body.. same pickups are in.

If you are thinking about selling a Fender American Deluxe for a 400$ "custom" made strat, you are about to make a huge mistake.

The Cruiser might have a more strat-like tone than the narrowfield you posted in the videos, but it would get you in the ballpark. They handle gain well.
