NGD x2... Plus hello again?

[ChadVanHalen]

Hey everyone, for those who remember me I'm back!... And in the couple months I've had off I've bought a couple guitars
One is one of those Korean BC Rich Mockingbird STs... Put an OFR in there and will eventually put a Sustainiac in it and DiMarzio Super III to be super Phil Collen-y and all that. I have a new phone so the only picture I have of it is this from a Snapchat or something, but it's got a real nice maple quilt on it through the trans red, you can see better pictures of Slash playing one

And the second one is a partscaster I found on a Facebook group that seems like it was made for me... Warmoth neck with reverse strat headstock and stainless steel frets, KnE body (the same company who made my Mick Mars body), OFR with D-Tuna, JB/59 and bitchin snakeskin finish. The seller was real cool, asked what strings I wanted (D'Addario 10's) and set it up for that and threw in an extra set of D'addario 10's and shipping it in a SKB case for less than a grand... Still waiting for it but it just might usurp my mirrorcaster as my flat tuned main guitar...

Very nice and I really like that Crue headband. Do you have a lot of old Crue stuff? I used to have a bunch of tapestries, posters, and LPs myself.

Old not so much, I got that off eBay for cheap that the guy said was original but he had like 10 of them so I think they're knock offs but I got it to wear it so I didn't really care haha

I did buy the first 5 Crue albums and SOLA on vinyl from work but they're reissues anyway... I do have an original 1984 printing of WASP's Animal single, that's one of the only cool collector thing I've got haha

Way to disappoint me dude......

Way to disappoint me dude......

All my money the last few years has been tied to building up my pro gear stuff, not so much cool collector stuff and cool old vinyls and comics and stuff... That comes after a fully functional rig I can safely tour with along with the backups I need haha

Welcome back dude. Cool guitars. Who did the snake skin finish? I like that one.

I was just busing your balls. I thought you might have been a Crue collector and got excited.

Love the snakeskin. Sounds like your taste runs similar to mine in guitar setup. What's the neck width/depth?

If I remember the ad right it's a compound 10-16, no idea what the profile is but guessing something between strat and Wizard... Thin but not too thin, I'll know Friday though

The snakeskin is hot! Perfect pickup choice (other than a single in the neck) and SS frets.

My default is a JB and the only thing I'd do different is make the neck a single put a quarter pounder in there... Not that I would be basing it off another famous guitarist playing a snakeskin "strat"
