It's a really cool book imho, has a lot of info about his guitars and rig I didn't know before, straight from the man himself or his techs

Yeah completely agree, Kiso have made some amazing guitars and they have a lot of mojo (maybe more than newer ones) but the 2017 onwards builds are just one another level, they are absolutely immaculate in every aspect.

Be wary that build times will be quite long though! Wouldn't expect to receive it before 18 to 24 months at least but I'm sure that if you end up doing it you will not disappointed

I think the E serial number guitars (Original Series & Custom orders) that have been coming out of the Japanese Custom Shop these past few years are some of the best guitars ever built in terms of quality and feel. I have a couple original series and custom orders and cannot find a fault on...

ESP Japan Custom Shop are flawless, especially the current production ones.

I would not rely on a computer / ableton if you're not already very familiar with it. Backing tracks on your phone played through the PA should be fine. If you have a decent amp you could play your through a cab and have the backing tracks through the PA (would need to adjust the amp volume to...

Gibson les paul studio in wine red bought new in 2008, replaced my squier strat. great guitar, still have it

I bought an original white '87 for way less than that last year. Not sure how these at $2500 make sense, especially considering they don't have an ebony board (which is a big difference)

Great interview

I've ordered plenty of guitars from Japan both from stores and individuals and they have always been packed well for what it's worth.

I have tried that exact setup with both power amps and they both sound good as stated above. I ended using the 5/50/2 for the synergy as I use the PS2 as an attenuator for another amp. I wouldn't worry so much about the sound but rather what features you prefer: 2/50/2 is stereo but...

Tim Shaws in a LP sound very good for metal btw in my experience!

Nice amp! Have a late '69 almost identical and it rips. These early metal face Marshall's also tend to have a more gain than one might think in my experience, perfect to rock out...

I have that exact unit and it's very good: well built and super useful, i highly recommend it.

I've put BKPs in a couple guitars and they do sound good but I've been gradually moving back to SD & EMG. Also, to note that here in the UK Seymour Duncan and other US brands are the same price and often more expensive than BKPs and are considered a premium brand.

VHII is a good pickup but I wouldn't put it in a LP personally. My recommendation would be a SD Distortion.

An ESP Eclipse with EMGs is 10/10 imho.
