That doesn't seem like a very even trade, though the more I think about that the more my brain gets close to a divide by zero error.I will trade the Liberator II I don't have for the DV82 you don't have.
Thanks! I think I changed my mind again!That red one is a unique one in two ways: 1) The transparent red finish would have been a special ask, as I don't recall it being a color option and B) the maple fingerboard would have been an option upcharge.
As for Metal and Shredding, the pickups on that red one are the "California Pickups" option and they are more in the neighborhood of a PAF-type humbucker rather than a high-octane humbucker. I usually get my distortion by just cranking up a tube amp with pre-gain and post-gain controls. I like that level of distortion with California Pickups, myself, but I'm not sure that California Pickups can put you in the Metal Zone. @GAD would have a better take on the shredding aspect.
Here are my two S-280 models. The rosewood fingerboard model is the Standard model with no options. The maple fingerboard model has the maple fingerboard option, but still has the standard stop-bar tailpiece. Both have the California Pickups.
I'll gladly accept any skinny neck guitar donations. (Although I'd be hard pressed to play anything remotely metal, or even 90s (80s?) inspired.)I have two Liberators and they are fabulous guitars, though as you said the necks are too small and the three switch thing is just dumb to me.

You're right. You should throw in $500 to make it a fair trade.That doesn't seem like a very even trade

Yep, this one is mine. Definitely not a “metal” guitar. It’s a general rock-n-roll type of guitar.
Probably a separate thread, but what constitues a liberator II? I had a metallic red HSS one with mahogany neck and passive pickups.One of my grail collector guitars is a Liberator II. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one.

Hahaha!!! Well, the mythical DV-82 that awagner is talking about is an acoustic, 'Strang.Wow, I'd sure like to know what you guys are talking about! I guess that makes me an acoustic player. It's like a whole 'nother world!
Well, I play nothing but Guild and Gretsch hollows and semi-hollows, so its about as metal as I would get. LOL.Yep, this one is mine. Definitely not a “metal” guitar. It’s a general rock-n-roll type of guitar.
