Yes.

I’ve wanted one for a long time, just never went out of my way to get one. Found this locally for a very reasonable price.

I actually like the middle pickup that no one uses.

Is the middle position blending them?
Have had a number of fishmans, but not those ones.
Seems like they may be ideal for ergs given his affinity for them.

It’s taken me many, many years to learn how to play it. I was way too muscular with my playing when I got this. I don’t get the thin neck Ibanez thing being “easier”. It takes restraint. Which most young men struggle with. Now I’m not so young.

But man this guitar got me in love with Mahogany super strats and taught me about pickup selection and riding the volume knob. For an indication of the hours I’ve spent on it, zoom in on the middle pickup lol.

I used to gig the RG570s pretty often and loved them, but every one went through frets so quickly, are the later prestiges that way?
Edit: also, cosmo black :love:

He likes the aesthetic often. My main axe these days is a custom shop Stef. Just the 1 hum. I love these Fishmans, but I swear it’s hard not to fall into his rhythm tones sometimes lol. They do sound like him. Bonus being the Fishman stripe glows in the dark.

Damn that’s the first Mayones I’ve seen that I love.

It sounds really good too. I sent them a color and the specs. They picked out the wood blanks and did not disappoint. The wings are ash and the back is finished in antique black

Yep! I swore off nickel frets because I blamed them. But my ESP seems to be holding up way better. So funny you say that. This has had full refret. Is it the wire Ibanez use or something?

I want to get a “tone wood” guitar soon. I played a Caparison in a guitar shop in Japan and loved the unique tones. As far as I can see Mayones and Caparison offer the most thick and unique woods.

Also, love the colour. That’s probably one of the reasons I like it so much. Love that look.

Dunno, but swear I would go through them one season at a time in college.

I've had a few and they all sound and behave differently lol. This one just clicked. I had a baritone 28" regius with bkp ragnaroks similar spec but it had an Ebony board and limba wings. That one sounded great too. I'd avoid the duvell though unless you like fairly thin necks and bright snappy guitars

Nope. Moving away from thin necks. Thanks for the info man.
 
Fresh out of the vaults is this 2009 ESP in snow white. I'm no photographer but it's aging beautifully. I left the white coilly cord in the shot for contrast but the white binding on the neck shows it well if you zoom in.

My photos don't do justice.

I forgot a lot of details about this one even though it may be my favorite. I do remember it was supposed to be 1 of 7 special run through Piney Hills Music but can't remember what was so special about them and they are long out of business.
