Like a given brand of guitar, it becomes "the evil that we 'know' ". You just get used to working on them. I've always had a BSA motorcycle as there's nothing that can go wrong I haven't seen. <br /><br />Ahem, I understand the New Beetle is huge with the, huge crowd? Obese people gravitate toward them as they have the widest doors of any standard model.Marshall_Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813579074330812057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-28933212722804714832012-08-06T23:05:54.727+01:002012-08-06T23:05:54.727+01:00from an US point of view, a VW is a Beetle or a Co...from an US point of view, a VW is a Beetle or a Combi, isn't it? cool retro hippie cars... but in europe VW means big luxury German cars, and the New Beetle is an expensive designer car than you see only in rich areas...bertramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528276269335424775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-42552450956560114712012-08-06T18:01:13.949+01:002012-08-06T18:01:13.949+01:00Gotta say, I'm not crazy about this.Gotta say, I'm not crazy about this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862994504925562178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-80063139987286945412012-08-06T17:29:23.912+01:002012-08-06T17:29:23.912+01:00Funny... actually I do want one!

Are Scorp fans prime target for VW marketeers? Leaving that aside, while the workmanship and design concept are top notch, I really question the actual playability of these "deep relief" set ups.<br /><br />While the relationship of the strings to the 'neck' and frets I'm sure is within standards, the depth between the strings and the body itself looks like cliff diving. You'd have a tendency to pluck or strike the string at harsh angles OR your right wrist would have to compensate upwards of 3/4ths an inch.<br /><br />Essentially you couldn't ( or at least I couldn't ) rest your palm on the body at all?Marshall_Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813579074330812057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-50825924753262153262012-08-06T12:20:03.889+01:002012-08-06T12:20:03.889+01:00yeah, when you grow old you want a WV...yeah, when you grow old you want a WV...bertramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528276269335424775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-35492060194741381282012-08-05T21:52:55.567+01:002012-08-05T21:52:55.567+01:00should be leaning up against the back end of a 50&...should be leaning up against the back end of a 50's split window bug.basser_xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05775359380911062336noreply@blogger.com
