    When you consider they have jigs and templates for control cavities and pickup cavities, ya have to wonder...

    Well, even if it does take that long, I believe it will be well worth it in the end.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    You can't really argue with a one of a kind custom shop instrument, specifically made to your own specifications :cool:


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 23,363 Mod ✭✭✭✭feylya


    Exactly. So why spend the same amount on a Gibson or PRS?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    Because you get the Gibsons and PRS for a grand less from you know who :D

    Bleh!!!

    You wouldn't believe how low a PRS is on my wanted list. Somewhere between a BC Rich Ironbird and an ulcer. :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    They wouldn't be top of my list either but that's just me. Gimme an Eggle over a PRS any day. Each to their own.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 23,363 Mod ✭✭✭✭feylya


    Tell me more about this Eggle


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,693 ✭✭✭david


    Eggle's are nice. there was one in FS musical insts a while ago. Tis sold though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J

    Eggles are at least as good as PRS but come without the hype. I can personally vouch for this one. One piece Brazilian Mahogany body, mahogany neck, ebony fretboard, sperzel locking tuners, serial number 23 of 48, Eggles rock :p


    Edit-> I had a tour around the factory when they were based in Coventry, they had a room where you could check out loads of their guitars, really nice stuff indeed.

    Yeah, looks quite nice. Shame I can't say the same about your carpet :p

    Why do I get an Iommi vibe from that guitar?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    Nice carpet. And the guitar ain't bad either


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    Thanks, as carpets go, I'd give it a '7'!

    As for the guitar, well spotted, tis the short lived Tony Iommi model (basicaly a customised Vienna I think) which I've butchered to suit my sinister aims.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 23,363 Mod ✭✭✭✭feylya


    Hmm, what a pic of the gear family some day Doc?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    Eeen Eeeengleeeesh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    yeah, you should wheel everything into one room and arrange it nice and hire a pro photographer to take a tasteful portrait of your gear. Then hang it on the wall.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 23,363 Mod ✭✭✭✭feylya


    You, get all your guitars, amps, effects etc together in a room. Line them up nicely. Take a photograph. Post that photograph on this forum :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    Couldn't be arsed andI don't really have any effects, except for a wah and a tremelo pedal.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 23,363 Mod ✭✭✭✭feylya


    Ah, GWAN!!!

    You keep appearing with new guitars every week and I want to know what ones you have at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    Or at least give us a guided tour someday. I'll organise a minibus

    New guitars? I am old, friend, and like a stationary stone I have gathered a few instruments (moss) over my long and pointless life, not as many as you think though. Every instrument I have is different to the others. I don't see the logic in just accumulating guitars for the sake of it. I inly have two guitars at the moment (discounting the cheap junk I'm going to burn)

    I demand pictures and videos of the cheap junk burning!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    And you will have your pictures, sir. Worry ye not!


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 23,363 Mod ✭✭✭✭feylya


    Excellent...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    Been meaning to do it for years. Cull the herd. Tis all shyte anyway. Burn burn burn.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 23,363 Mod ✭✭✭✭feylya


    Cull the herd with burning. There's something in me that says that burning any guitar is bad.

    Then there's the rest of me that's screaming BURN!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,135 ✭✭✭✭John


    Well, if it's made of wood, it will float, and if it floats it's the same weight as a duck. So it's a witch. BURN IT!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,848 ✭✭✭✭Doctor J


    Ahhh some guitars shouldn't exist, simple as that. Just re-aligning the universe, balancing things out. To those that don't make the grade, the fires of hell await thee. I don't think we'll need any flame for KH's Stealth though :)

    There, I said it.
