I'm brand new to this blog but have recently become a fan of the the Guild Starfire III. We do not have much of a vintage market in my hometown, thanks to the Internet, but I purchased a NS Starfire from our local shop and am quite enjoying it.
I have had my eye on an Aristocrat for awhile. I had an Eastwood Airline Tuxedo that I quite liked -- very similar in construction. The Eastwood's P90s, while great sounding, were awfully noisy and I did not want to shell out the money to swap in quieter pickups, particularly on a guitar that would have little to no resale value where I live (if it does not say Fender, Gibson/Epiphone . . .). I am now thinking about buying an Aristocrat.
Anyone had any experience with the NS Aristocrat and can give me advice as to how noisy its P90s might be?
Thanks
