1984. San Dimas made. I had loads of them after from Pre-Pro's to USA Jackson bolt on's but none of them sounded as good as this one. That's probably because everything tone-wise was always dialed in around this guitar.

LOL not at all! It has had probably 20-25 different pickups in it over the years. Original neck had the pointy headstock snapped off. Lee Garver at GMW grafted on an entire new headstock at the scarf joint and did an amazing job. I have a different neck on it now because I can't stand the neck...

I've told this story a million times on here over the years, but I'll do it again.. In 1983 into 1984 I was saving as many pennies of my pizza delivery money as I could to buy a Kramer. In the Chicago suburbs, we had barely even heard of Charvels let alone seen one in person, but Kramers were...

My experience is that the very best Kramers from that era are on par with the USA or Japan Pro Mod Charvels. I think the original USA Charvels and Jackson's and the modern custom shop ones are on another level altogether.

This track sounds like the vocalists Mom mixed it. I like his voice but not enough to mix it as loud as his mom did. And now the lead guitar is that loud too. I guess it is just that the rhythm guitars are mixed so low on this.

What's up Pat?! How about a JCM800, a Boss SD-1 and 40 years of not messing around with gear chasing and instead just playing our guitars, writing tunes and recording our music?

Yeah, I dig it too. I have listened to it 3 or 4 times. I dig Nuno's tone on this, especially when he does the palm muted licks on the low strings. I am the same age as Nuno and if I wrote a riff and a singer put a melody over it that was an exact rip-off of STP, I wouldn't recognize it unless...

Do they all have that uh "unique" neck shape to them? I think they look pretty cool otherwise.

Plenty of repeating patterns in this solo of his though, like almost all guitar players do. True, it isn't what I think of when you mention scale sequences as I know what you mean, but they are are repeating scale sequences in their own way. Doesn't mean I don't like it, because I do!

I thought I read that he used the Kemper for the entire last album. It sounds great!

Keep in mind Charvel necks and Charvel bodies have 2-1/4" neck pockets and neck heels. The standard is 2-3/16" inches. So if you try and throw a Warmoth or Fender neck on a Charvel body you will have a gap all the way around the neck. On the other hand you won't be able to jam a Charvel neck...

I watched the Leon Todd demo, and he normally does good sounding demos. What I am getting from his demo is what sounds like it could be an MP-1, but it's in the next room. There is no in your face character to the sounds he is getting at all. I use plug-ins and can get them more in my face...

I was poking fun at our Canadian members. Like everyone else, I couldn't fight off tapping my foot to Turn Me Loose but normally I could get it under control before anyone saw me. I didn't realize that Loverboy was a sacred cow up there. If I buy red leather pants, a red leather jacket and a red...

Ummmm, no. Loverboy was never hip. There used to be a great player on Rig-Talk back in the day who was from Canada, "randyvansykes" was his name I think. We used to have some awesome threads where we all really gave each other a bunch of crap but had some great discussions and anytime "RVS" was...

Green Bay Packers fans.

Exactly, right? Hello? Not an uncommon occurrence as I tried to point out in my first post and was told that it couldn't have possibly happened. lol

LOL, I know it did happen. Same as happened to me. The old guys didn't embrace Van Halen just like the equivalent old guys didn't embrace Elvis or the Beatles or Hendrix etc. heck, the other guitarist in my band, was a total Van Halen/Rhoads freak too and when Yngwie came out, he drew a line in...

I'm very sorry to say that this did not happen. You think it did. But it couldn't have possibly happened. :)

I'm not trying to tell you that. I'm telling you that. The "old dudes" in this guitar shop were not into the younger, new players. They were in to the players they grew up on. The 60's guys. That's no news flash. In the exact same way I was not into the 90's stuff when younger kids would come in...

Right? Imagine the same studio walkthrough with those 4 dudes standing around instead of Henson.
