Whoa... what a steal! Nice score... so what do you do for a living in Japan now that you moved there if I may ask ? I was just there on vacation last month and loved it. You know I went to 30 guitar stores though I couldn't find a used caparison horus to take home with me :(

Hello all! Haven't been around lately but, have started to playing more and more lately so why not jump back into to rigtalk while I'm at it :rock: Anyways, I've been saying I need to sell some guitars for YEARS and I finally took the plunge! I sold 2 Ibanez, 1 Baker, 1 Jackson and 1...

My Tom Anderson Hollow Drop Top into my VHT Ultra-Lead into one or 2 Mesa 3/4 Back 2x12's. Could also substitute my 101B or even my 5150 III 50 watt. Doesn't really matter, either of the 3 and I'm happy.

90's ESP Mirage and Vintage Plus models are pretty rad. Anderson and Suhr models without locking trems and with the next bigger neck profile as an option are also great.

My 5150 III 50 watt head has become my main amp. I set the channel 1/2 gain on 4 and I'm good (with humbuckers). I have not played a lunchbox 2 version but, have played the original lunchbox version and it looks cute but, c'mon... The 50 watter blows it away in tone! Clean, crunch and CRUNCH...

Steve, flip the Steve's Special around. I majorly disliked the one in my Ibbie PGM model but, after having a conversation with Frank Falbo from Seymour Duncan, he suggested doing just that and the pup became a keeper after that. Also, glad to hear that you are playing again.

As others have said, when playing through a conventional guitar cab power by a tube amp, the Axe works GREAT. When going through monitors, you don't get that amp in the room sound but, you do get dramatic tone changes when you switch cab types.

An R9

I agree with the the recommendations for an Air Norton in the neck and a Tone Zone in the bridge however, the Transition pups in my Luke III kick @$$ too. Very clear sounding. I would go with either of those choices.

They allow you to send non Carvin pickups and install them for you now?

I like "Kiss My Axe" personally as my fave. I do like Casino and Elegant Gypsy as well though.

Hubba hubba!

I think the neck is smallish as I feel ALL EBMM guitar necks are but, the feel and shape of it still work with my relatively large fingers. I had an older EMG equipped Luke before as well which coincidentally was one of the only guitars I liked EMG's on. I like the Luke III more though.

Those Transition pickups are some of best I've ever heard. They are so clear yet not sterile sounding at the same time. I have a rosewood neck HH model myself.

Queensryrche: Eyes of a Stranger & Anybody Listening & Take Hold of the Flame Fates Warning: River Wide, Ocean Deep & Into the Black & Through Different Eyes I'll think of some more in the prog vein...

I live in NJ and didn't hear about this until coming upon your post just now. I saw a clinic of his at Sam Ash in Springfield NJ about 3 years ago that was cool (there were about 60 people at that one).

There's no denying the way that amp sings into feedback on single notes though. Doesn't sound like it needs a whole heck of a lot of volume to do so... True?

Ditto On everyone's comments. Great rendition! Excellent playing and solo tone!

I appreciate your criticism.

Thanks!
