Yeah its gone that bit too far now given the count has hit 7. The last two were just great bargains I couldn't pass up. Even if my senses were to fail me again :eek:, I've just nowhere else to put anymore gear.

Well if it means anything to you, if i had a steady job and a credit card id be worse off.

Id be spending a lot lot more on a catalogue of PRS guitar's, eveni if you dont think there worth the price(i know you love your eggles a lot more

) im just infatuated with them......to the point where its not healthy.

Yeah jobwise things aren't too hot here either, but as it stands it pays well but can be pretty stressful. The stress was off the meter last year and that's when the guitars started to arrive - I think the guitars were the only thing that kept me sane...

The thing about the eggles is that if you know what you're looking for they can work out pretty cheap for what you get - there can be some real bargains there - if there's ever another meetup in town (dub) I'll lug in a Berlin Pro and an NY for people to like or loath as appropriate

My sin turns one at the end of the month, and in honour of this I bought him his first guitar.

It's the ESP Kirk Hammett Junior model

He won't be able to get his hands around it for quite a few years, but I hope he knows how cool his old man (thinks he) is when he gets older.

Ah you're such a great Dad, kids always come first

Nice Voodoo. Very flash colour but still managing to stay within the bounderies of :cool:

Congratulations. I feel the need to see it in the flesh!

Doctor J · 10-11-2008 2:35pm

Wow, nice colour. That's a super top if nothing else.

Thanks, i'll take some of my own pics of it shortly, in the flesh its more of a dark purple. Great top for sure though, and they've left a cool natural binding around the edges. Its niiice

Doctor J · 10-11-2008 2:51pm

Dare I ask what kind of €€€?

Voodu Child · 10-11-2008 2:56pm

About €900 + shipping/tax..

But mine was on the upper end with all the 5A quilt and flamed neck, gold hardware etc. It would be a couple hundred less without so much figured wood, or with lower grade figuring. Its a custom shop, so whatever you want, Strat, Tele, lefty, set-neck, reverse headstock, whatever you can think up.

Darkstrike · 10-11-2008 2:56pm

Thats an awesome, awesome quilt!

Doctor J · 10-11-2008 3:20pm

Excellent. That's an amazing top, it really is... probably the nicest I've seen. Fair play, that's a result!

fish-head · 10-11-2008 4:26pm

Yowza.

The_g-man · 10-11-2008 6:23pm

Holy hell voodoo, now that is a sweet guitar!:eek:

Love the matching quilt on the headstock.:pac:

That's a beauty voodoo_child :cool:.
how did you find the luthiers to deal with, and do you have a linky for their website?

I'll do a thread in a few days with a review of the guitar and also how I found the luthiers to deal with. Site is www.guitarandpickup.com (very slow), the UK distributer also has a basic site up and running (www.atlas.dymani.com/main.htm).

Vim Fuego · 18-11-2008 1:29pm

That's not how you spell Bacchus!

Nice haul, are these destined for projects?

Doctor J · 18-11-2008 1:34pm

Yeah, I won't tune them to B, I've got something else in mind for them... I'm just a sucker for V's and, as the saying goes, if you don't like Explorers you're a bleedin wuss :P

I just couldn't resist

Dord · 18-11-2008 1:36pm

You just need a Moderne now to complete the trio!

Alanstrainor · 18-11-2008 1:36pm

Noice. What guitar did you trade then?
Oh, and can i have one! Hint hint at the V. Hehe.

Fact :pac:

What's the plan for the Explorer?

Doctor J · 18-11-2008 2:12pm

The more I think about it, the more a little voice is telling me to put a black scratchplate and chrome Iommi humbuckers into it. It needs a bit of work anyway, but there may be another thread in it

The V is mint, it really is, just needs a bit of a setup tweak and it's good to go.

Then again, a black sctachplate on that and Iommi humbuckers might work in that too :P

Damn little voice :pac:

Yes damn that voice.

He ain't powerful enough to get the point across....

DO IT!!!!!!

Doctor J · 18-11-2008 2:35pm

I'll give the stock pickups a run through before I decide anything.

punchdrunk · 19-11-2008 12:38am

good work Doc

i'd hit these lads up for pickups...

the set of emeralds i got for my SG are the finest these ears have heard!!

http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/

a set of black "Rebel Yells" would be amazing!! :pac:

Ancient1 · 20-11-2008 12:08am

Voodoo, congrats man, that is sexy as hell!!

Can I have a go? Please please extra please with extra chocolate sprinkles on top? :pac:

Doc, that Explorer is making me feel all funny inside, is that normal?

Parsley · 21-11-2008 2:43pm

Gah! My latest acquisition has arrived in Limerick but I won't be back up there for 2 weeks!

Ravelleman · 01-12-2008 2:18am

Voodoo, your Atlas is an absolute delight. Good call on the purple.

Dord · 04-12-2008 12:11am

Noice! DC's FTW!

I've been looking at Hamer's recently, they make some damn fine guitars. I wouldn't mind a Vector. :cool:

Doctor J · 04-12-2008 9:22am

Nice! An old mate of mine had a Chaparral, I think it was, back in the early 90's, Hamer make some wonderful guitars.

Quattroste · 04-12-2008 9:45am

Nice One Boycey. Don't think I have ever experienced a Hamer. Did you just blow the Blackstar budget?

Doctor J · 04-12-2008 4:12pm

That's some nice gear, the Schecter and Ibanez in particular

Darkstrike · 04-12-2008 4:21pm

Tasty stuff!

Cheers, the Schecter is an absolute dream - plays better than it looks and the tone off it is beautiful; the 26.5" neck and EMG 707s can make for a pretty hefty sound and all for only €500 too (eBay). The Ibanez is plays beautifully and the neck is one of the fastest I've ever come across. The trem is nowhere near as good as an OFR though and the stock pups are pretty shite, I'm planning to throw in some DiMarzios when I have some spare cash.

The_g-man · 04-12-2008 6:28pm

Those guitars deserve separate pics each, some sweet gear there.

Patricide · 04-12-2008 6:37pm

Im in concurrence with the doc, the finish on the ibanez especially is jaw dropping

You havent experienced a Hamer yet Quattroste;)
The Blackstar budget is still safe, waiting patiently never was my forte though! Waiting for the call from x-music (I still havent been out there yet).

Early Christmas for me! '62 RI Fender Precision:

Excellent choice. You just can't go wrong with those basses

Patricide · 16-12-2008 9:05pm

How many basses does that bring you up to now, 16?
