Cool guitar. If I were to have a Gibby LP, it'd have to be an 80s RI of an older LP. For recording purposes, I like them and older Fender Strats for rhythms and leads, respectively. Then I'd use my LTD's live. That'd be my future goal, anyways.

Ace Frehley is awesome. He inspired me as well.

Yes, I do. Except, I have decided to sell the Boss pedals, opting for the Kiko Loureiro vol/wah/OD pedal from Morley instead, and go DiMarzio rather than Seymour Duncan.

Hmmm... I guess if you break your stone's you get whipped cream.

I haven't got pics at the moment, but I bought myself an LTD H-500 w/ Duncan's recently. I think LTD is the company for me.

The LTD 400 range is fancy as hell, a decent price, and super playable. Alternately, if you hate LTD, Schecter also have awesome Metal guitars in that range.

This is the collection thus far: http://i43.tinypic.com/slmufo.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/33vow28.jpg I might be adding a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone, Road Electronics 4x12" cab [looks like a flight case], and Ashdown Fallen Angel 60w DSP head. Possibly a Line6 Pod X3 Live as well, mainly because the ...
