    This is the lightest ebony fretboard I've ever seen

    Exactly what I was thinking. I was shocked when I got my LTD/Lynch “Desert Eagle”, as the fingerboard is black, even though it’s macassar ebony. I was hoping for a dark brown with striping. :LOL:

    Big amps still used by the pros - what do we know

    Steve Stevens, with Billy Idol, a few months back, was using his signature Friedman amp. Paul Gilbert, with Mr.Big, was using Marshall half-stacks.

    New Extreme is extremely …

    I gave it a listen. Wow. So not good. Disappointingly bad. :doh:

    Tell me about the Suhr 2x12 cabs. Good?

    I like the PT100 matching 2x12 I have. The one thing I’d caution you about, is checking one out before you purchase one, to make certain the speakers in the 2x12 “work”(sonically/eq-wise) with your amp/s. My Suhr 2x12, to my ears, doesn’t work with my PT100. Go figure… The PT100 sounds much...

    Silver jubilee or slash 2555sl > other diode amps?

    I have a Helios 100w. I love it. But, I run it on ‘70s mode. The ‘80s mode isn’t bad, it’s just too sizzly for my tastes.

    Would you rock this new George Lynch Desert Eagle?

    Day 5 with the Desert Eagle. Aside from the Duncan ‘78 being a bit bright, there’s nothing about the guitar I don’t like.

    Would you rock this new George Lynch Desert Eagle?

    Just got it. I’m digging it. Neck is definitely not a thin neck. Sorta reminds me of my Sunburst Tiger neck. Fret ends are nicely done. Fingerboard is super dark chocolate brown; there’s almost no pattern. The Duncan ‘78 is a hair bright. Not too much though. The neck single coil is actually ok...
