My only “out of the ordinary” guitar. My 2001 Klein(with a Steinberger trans-trem)

absolutely does not appeal to my sense of aesthetics. And, I own a 2001 Klein headless.

That period of Vai’s output was my favorite. Flexable, Alcatrazz, The Epidemics, PiL, DLR’s first album.

I use the Suhr “Woodshed” compressor.

Wonderful interview.

DiMarzio Evolution 7 I’m digging it

I’ve had Edwards/Sykes for almost 2 years. I switched out the Duncan SH-6 in the bridge for the Pariah Sykonaut, and changed the nut and saddles to Graphteq parts, to solve the tuning issues. I’m quite pleased with the guitar. I can’t imagine a Gibson Les Paul being any better. (Playing, or tone...

Duncan “Screamin’ Demon” and. Duncan “1/4 pounder”.
