I have already posted this on the official Brian Setzer Board some Time ago, but I think the members on this one will like it as well.

Check out the customizing function, that Big Daddy Ace in flat Black with cream and red pinstripes would look great I think.
And Sparrow guitars is using parts from Bigsby, Kent armstrong, Grover, TV-Jones..., so I think they would also sound as good as they look Wink .

does anybody know how good (or bad) are these guitars?
They look very cool, but how is the sound and the hardware?

I haven't played one yet, but, the people I talked to meant, that they were very good, at the music fair I wasn't allowed to play one.

I know Billy somewhat as I have hung out with them at their booth the last few yrs at
the NAMM show. Awesome guys with the right idea and tuned into the scene. They even have their own punk band. I have great respect for em' and their work ethic. They are really picking up steam and have moved from the downstairs
hall to the upstairs with the big guys.

guitars up to this last winter namm all look really cool but for those of us that swing
gretsches and gibs.... the sparrow line is for more the budget conscious (as if I have any money to ever speak of) that want a playable guitar cooler looking than most others. Decent fret dressing, solidly transplanted hardware.. Most are heavy
as sh%t though. common for korean/china built guitars. They will rock the
marshall scene for sure, the one I am most excited about is the ES-335 clone that
is in satin hotrod black with the inside shot blood red. It was so cool I went home from
this last winter NAMM and shot my acoustic with satin black and the interior in red.

anyway I hope my info isnt sounding critical...there are echelons in gear,ya know?

I know this sounds like I'm not being positive but that isnt what I'm saying. They
import guitars and then lay out the hotrod tricks on a large scale. Its all on the
road to Koolsville for sure, but if youre a tone hound and into the booteek this
aint the street. I look for the lightest possible tops, resonant woods with perfect
build......... uh ...huuuhhuh.. uhha..resonant wood. uhuhuhha...wood

hmm.. ok,
thanks for your opinion, tvthewiredturtle. Yes, thats what i`m looking for, somebody who really saw these guitars.

If i`ll check out one of these guitars i would take the ES335 copy aswell. Not the Gretsch Clones and telecaster copies.
But it seems they do an amazing work for lower money. And imho the last 10 years qualitity of low budget guitars went higher.

In Germany is only one big shop dealing with Sparrow guitars.
But for the moment i have to wait (says my Bankaccount)

Nice weekend
