Holy crap I love this axe!!! (That's why I have four pictures of it!)

The colour of the rosewood is as it is in pictures 2 and 3, and not like it's in 1 and 4. COMPRENDE?

(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!

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 ÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¼ber-expensive footboard... What a pricey lump of metal, jeez...

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

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

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

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

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

Here is my 2 favourite amps..Little and Large

thanks

i've been curious about this amp since i first caught sight of one in a shop, i had a sneaking suspicion they were good little performers!

hey Tommy ...
I've been looking at an Edwards LP(or possibly a GrassRoot one)

How much did that one cost you ?

Tommy · Post by **Tommy** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 2:19 pm

$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!

i've been in contact with a dealer from japan
that has the GrassRoots guitars.

I've mainly been looking at this one ...

a goldtop LP always has a special place in my heart

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!
