Thank you.... it's been quite an expensive year, though I have had some help, christmas/birthday pressies and money, spent on more guitar gear, (and a bit of debt ;) )

 

I only started to learn to play last year around the 14th May, and only just got to chords.... went lead on Rocksmith and been learning notes etc.... with tab rather than chords :rolleyes: , but I know A D E G partially C, and obviously picked up some power chords, riffs from rocksmith and tabs etc.... Really having a blast :)

 

Been singing since I was 11 though, my first passion, so was 35 before I started learning the guitar.... now I have I'm never looking back ;)

 

Hehe, we have two cats, Sybil and Sky, Sky's the one in the photo above. She's ferel.... attacks everyone, including the wife, but loves me for some reason and ALWAYS follows me into the back room for some guitar playing B)

The shape was designed by a luthier named Liutaio Mottola and he shared the plans online here.  The shape is designed to balance well both sitting and standing.

Nice, this one is really cool looking live :D Too bad they don't offer the modified version with a whammy pedal incrusted in the body to simulate a floyd rose without the hasle of one.

New guitar day! Got this very cheap brand new. It's a PureSalem Tom Cat. A modern version of the Guild Thunderbird, like the one played by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys plays on Little Black Submarines. From this day forward i shall call him Hand Banana. Thumbs up for those who get that reference.

I can't see Izzy's pic but I might say if it is a Vertigo Bullseye Zakk Wylde EMG Les Paul Standard Custom... then boy you got ripped off badly over the Zakk Wilders... just buy an EMG LP custom, what is the point? Hell, for the most part... the vanilla Standard LP with the burstbuckers will get you cleaner tones... go to MRSWS1972 on the tube to compare the tone of the Zakk Wylde to the vanilla Standard...

Well I'm unsure as to why anybody buys guitars they won't generally play... the ZW LP will ultimately metal better than those guitars... yes. I might understand if that is the ultimate point and if you are an extreme ZW nut, like my past... Gibson ZW, right? Not Epiphone? How much in total $ and condition/year possibly, I'd like to know more. Thanks for the reply lol.

Just purchased Steinberger Spirit Pro HSS. Got it used, with a nice discount. Plays great and it is tiny! Easy to bring with me everywhere.

Got my overflowing edginess on and got Kerry King Wartribe 1 with the Onyx coloring from BC Rich. Spent the weekend in Lithuania so I haven't had too much time to try it out yet, but should be good enough - at the very least with replacing the pickups (or so I've heard). Wanted to go for the Warbeast, but the one I wanted was OOT and since I've already spent two months without playing, I went with this.

Cheers,

you must be pretty good in guitar, because playing the second one is really hard way :lol: :lol: :D :D I even do not mention tuning, only for virtuoso  :D :D

 

Wait all of you! That Les OldMacdonald, isn't a bass? :huh: Anyway such a fine instrument, best of the list ever. :lol:

I have a few guitars and a deceit amp with a pedal.

 

My BC Rich Warlock w/ LED Killswitch

My Ibanez RS120 W/ Seymour Duncan Blackouts AHB1's

My Taylor acoustic guitar that I inherited from my grandpa when he recently passed may he rest in peace

Marshal MG10CF amp

And my Digitech Death Metal Pedal

http://i.imgur.com/mBk6Zgl.jpg

My Crate CA30D Acoustic Amp

http://i.imgur.com/I09Z0k5.jpg

 

My main guitar is probably my BC Rich since I use it for my higher tunings (plus the sweet ass killswitch) and my Ibanez is my low metal tunings (D standard and down to as low if not lower that Bb - flat tuning. My acoustic I could plug into rocksmith if i want to but i just use my acoustic amp.

Guitar for death metal

Guitar for everything else especially Buckethead with the badass LED killswitch
