modelers and FX - they are extremely powerful, and I have noticed that probably 90% of the guitarists that own them never get deep enough into them to really learn how to program and get the best out of those units. I did a lot of work with Line 6 over the years, and could still get really great...

LOVE Elliot Easton - totally underrated player who can go from shred to surf to country to new wave......his work in The Cars really influenced me aLOT as a younger player. and my 80s band was known as "The Cars of the Southeast"....lol......we could play nearly EVERY song off the first three...

that would be my choice as well. LOVE that amp! :rock: :rock: :rock:

that's cool! My old Kramer Pacer, serial #B0149, is now owned by Andy Pappacio - he was the one that did the Floyd install on it back in 1983 when it was shipped back to Kramer - I played it for a decade on the road, then sold it to a good friend who basically put it under the bed and left it...

i just spit my coffee on the computer monitor. thanks! :rock: the EJ comment made me crack up. I have rarely if ever heard anyone play that main melodic lick worth a shit. and it sounds REALLY bad when it's played sloppily..... no one should wear TAN PANTZ unless they work at Best Buy and...

you are entirely correct - the fine tuner version of the Floyd did not come out until AFTER Kramer had locked Floyd down (pun intended) into a contract. Weird aside......I had always been told that Kramer and Dennis Berardi were partially funded by Mafia cash....the Jersey boys smelled money...

in most of his early interviews, EVH pretty much LIED. he initially told people the "magic" brown sound amp was a 50 watt plexi (it really was a 100 watter) and that he would use a Variac to "crank UP the voltage to get that brown sound".....which led to quite a few Marshall heads getting FRIED...

the tonal and timbral difference in EVH's guitar tone became pretty evident with Fair Warning. Eddie knew that the Floyd was going to alter the famous "brown sound" for sure. But the lure of having rock solid tuning finally outweighed the missing (haunted???) mids.... personally, I like the...

the above poster is correct. and the floyd really came into full play by Fair Warning....

yup....play it thru a hot rod deluxe, or a JC-120 and make it sound good :rock:

both of those are :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

I am really impressed with a lot of the boards here.....well done, gentlemen. This year, I started doing some pedal demos for a Japanese company called One COntrol - they make some KILLER ultra small switching systems and buffers for pro pedalboards. Since I have been friends with the "Mad...

:D they can be GREAT guitars. it seems like the earlier ones were more consistent. i also had a white one, from a series of 20 made for Boogie Street Music. Love the ebony board, love the big frets, love the Floyd Rose. It's a really great "take" on the superstrat riff, and the au naturale look...

now, this is where stuff starts to get a bit sideways, IMHO. we all love guitars, and hopefully love PLAYING them. but our choices in what guitars to buy and play surely don't have anything to do with who we are as people..... i know that 155 is just venting a little, and i don't mean to...

that seller also has a completely fradulent Fender Custom Shop guitar - has a certificate for a 1960 Relic Strat - but the guitar pictured is some maple neck shredder with a floyrd rose and a roland ready pickup... :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:

Schecter custom shop guitars have always been good. From the late 70s all the way until today. They were the first parts company, were sister companies with Charvel/Jackson, and have even managed to come back in a big way with import guitars in the 00s.....Schecter is the quiet kid who kept...

that's what i thought too - always loved that ESP he plays when he is recording with Max Norman. love the sharkfins - love the ebony board - love the larger "endorser" logo on the headstock. seriously one of the nicer custom shop pieces i have seen in a while! :rock:

sadly enough, you're probably right....

that's a super cool guitar - love the all black simplicity. and Caparison's build quality is one of the best in the world. Itaru Kanno is a master builder, and makes some of the nicest playing guitars I have ever touched.

Just a quick review - I had been aware of Diamond over the past few years, but had never seen one in person. Recently I was in need of a good gigging combo for band gigs, and a local player here in Chicago is a Diamond endorsee. He has several heads and 4x12s, and he decided to let go of this...
