Still in the prototype stage but it appears to be a single cut, Les Paul style. Wonder what Gibson will have to say about it. Dunno if I like the selector switch on the horn...

John

I can see Gibson going into spasms over it

feylya

...again

John

It's a nice guitar though, even if from that angle it looks like he is playing a gibson (if you ignore the headstock of course). I like the thick cream stripe compared to the thin one gibson use.

feylya

It's very Gibsonish alright. The thick binding definately adds something to it. Hmm, he's using those planetwaves locking straps. Wonder what they're like. Must pick up one...

John

Already got strap locks on my guitar, could nae be bothered with looking at other strap locking mechanisms. It's not as if I gyrate like a madman.

feylya

I know. I just need to pick up a new strap so I think I'll look into them.

John

maybe I should get one for my drum machine?

feylya

Hmm, it's an idea. Like a harmonica brace but for a drum machine!

John

I'd be like Edgar Winter

Rock and Rooollll

Damn straight. I don't like that and I don't like his previous Ibanez SZ either. He should be playing something pointy and he should be playing it fast

Yeh it doesnt do much for me... =/

Someone, get that man a STEALTH!

It wasn't me!

True. I quite liked his SZ's to be honest. Not a shredder's guitar by any stretch of my big-handed imagination but very nice to fool around on tonally.

feylya

I was considering a SZ for a time. Still am kinda...

It wasn't me!

Lovely guitars. I was thinking of it primarily from a drop-tuning point of view. I don't drop-tune much anymore though and I does like a trem occasionally.

feylya

I use my main guitar for E standard and Drop D, now worries about the trem ****ing itself either

It wasn't me!

Yeah, never have any worries with my Floyd going to D but it'd be nice to experiment a bit lower.

feylya

As soon as I get my new guitar, my Ltd is heading to Drop C. Bad Horsie!!!

Don't. I have one and they're kinda awkward and big. Ive switched to straplocks and theyre better imho. The rubber kinda damages guitar finishes. My old ibanez is kinda worn/scratched/dull around where the strap button is

Drop C is where the real action is, drop D is for pretenders

Karl Hungus

ALL drop tunings are for pretenders. Be a real man and go all the way for D standard and C standard tunings.

feylya

Bah

I've a geetor tuned to ADGCFAD

TEKKIT!

And technically, C and D standard are drop tunings...

John

random tuning is where the real skill lies

feylya

Intruiging...

Amen to that. I think i saw him sporting a Gibson somewhere - it's just not him...
