Holy crap I love this axe!!! (That's why I have four pictures of it!) :P
The colour of the rosewood is as it is in pictures 2 and 3, and not like it's in 1 and 4. COMPRENDE? :lol: (Don't ask)

The finish might look extremely grey, but the guitar looks black if there's weak lighting. It's because of the flash it looks so bright.
I don't have a group picture... And besides, the model 3 is laying in bits all over the place! :D
The guitars are:

Ibanez RG 2550 Prestige with tremol-no and schaller straplocks
Charvel Model 3 in bits (as per date)
Charvel Model 2, backup guitar
Caparison Horus Black Night, Schaller straplocks are of course installed.

The amp is an ENGL Screamer, with the über-expensive footboard... What a pricey lump of metal, jeez... :D

Just thought I'd share some gear pictures as I am new here. Great to meet other gear lovers! :)

My wife and I have 15 Guitars in our collection. 6 Classicals and 9 Electrics.

Here is a picture of my favourite Electric

Image
It is a Gretsch Brian Setzer 6120 Hot Rod . The clarity is something else.

Here is a poser picture (I don't have one of it on it's own..sorry) but it is my Rik Middleton hand made model. I endorse this guys guitars they sound like silk

Image

Here is my wife Suzie practising on our SG Platinum. In the background is another Guitar I am very fond of, a Gibson M3 Custom Shop Deluxe

Image


This guitar is a customized Gibson Les Paul Studio. It has 57 Classic humbuckers and custom hardware and pickguard. It really rocks too

Image

Here is a picture from last year
(including my favourite Tony johnson Classical)

Image

Here is my 2 favourite amps..Little and Large :)

I've been looking at an Edwards LP(or possibly a GrassRoot one) :)
How much did that one cost you ? :)

$829 for the guitar with shipping from Japan. Brand spankin' new. Mahogany body and neck, ebony fretboard, SD SH-4 and SH-1n pickups, MOP inlays and logo, set-neck with long tenon, and gold hardware... ALOT of guitar for your money! And, besides, it looks great.

The hardware weren't shiny when I got it btw. It was kind of matte... So i just took some naptha-thingy, and made it shiny. Obviously ESP just finishes the hardware, as it's originally shiny!

Hi. I've been lurking for a while and finally found a topic I could intelligently reply to.

I have quite a few Jackson Rhoads guitars - mostly LTD's, but also some PCS's and misc. instruments. Here's a picture of some, the rest can be seen on my website. Rhoads rules!
