this is just massive

also this one is quite intruiging hmm...say it weighs a tone though and is it just me or are the strings on it really far apart???

i really have to get more gear

Ancient1 · 20-10-2005 4:15pm

Looks great, but "Love Rock"??

jcoote · 20-10-2005 4:18pm

yeah the strat shapes are 'springy sound' and the teles are 'breezy sound' great guitars but they can't name for ****...suppose it is pretty good broken english

Karl Hungus · 20-10-2005 4:20pm

Christ, that is gorgeous!

So many great guitars, so little money to buy them with...

jcoote · 20-10-2005 4:35pm

indeed

also this and this and this and this

i ****in hate ebay

Karl Hungus · 20-10-2005 4:40pm

I'd buy that triple neck for the sheer novelty of it tbh. But this is what I'm really gassing over right now.

jcoote · 20-10-2005 4:44pm

I agree, a Guitar Gas thread, a bass thread, and the AMPage thread!

Karl Hungus · 20-10-2005 5:57pm

Naw, i think we should leave it as it is, it's more fun this way.

Karl Hungus · 20-10-2005 6:16pm

Oooh! That's a damned good price too!

i'd love a piezo telecaster or a scheter c1 semi hollow mmmmm

Yeah, that same thing is going for a whopping €3000 on Thomann, I'd say you might just get it shipped and import payed for around €2000.

jcoote · 20-10-2005 6:56pm

thats a serious saving tbh but its still 2 grand..worth it still and all

Karl Hungus · 20-10-2005 6:57pm

Aye, if I didn't have the Stealth ever looming over my head, I'd snap it up sharpish.

jcoote · 20-10-2005 7:00pm

jesus yeah...that still not wit ya???

That's why you'll never be mod, Jonny. There is too much GAS going round these parts to be confined to a single thread

Yeah, GAS is too dangerous to bottle up in such a small space

No, it's not, and truth be told I'm getting a little skeptical at this stage. That said, it's probably the only thing I'd actually put up with waiting for this lenth. It IS the Karl Hungus signiature model FFS, and as long as it eventually gets to me and is in full working order, no complaints.

I wish it would get here soon though, I want a 7 tuned ADGCFAD. That's going to ****ing rumble.

feylya · 20-10-2005 7:20pm

Christ, that first link is rather tasty indeed.

As for bottling up GAS, what'll happen when 4 or 5 of the Instruments posters meet up to see Steve Vai? That's not gonna be a pretty sight :eek:

Porterhouse? Food? GUITARS!

Speaking of which, what do you think of that Blackmachine 8?

Karl Hungus · 20-10-2005 7:28pm

Whoops, that was actually a 7 string I posted. This is the 8 string:

That's quite an amount of tuners, eh?

feylya · 20-10-2005 7:30pm

Porterhouse and Iskanders I think. You got the pm I assume.

I have never liked the head on those guitars. The seven was nice but I'm not too sure about the 8. Especially with all the tuners on one side.

Karl Hungus · 20-10-2005 7:33pm

Ah, I love it! Quite possibly the sexiest headstock I've seen, and the tuners on one side = pure style. One of the best looking guitars I've seen, honestly.

jcoote · 20-10-2005 7:34pm

i'm wit karl on this one (i posted that 8 string earlier btw) the headstock is kinda minimilist which kinda somes up the guitar...well besides the amount of strings:p

Yeah, but I had meant to post the 8 before you did.

John · 20-10-2005 7:40pm

I'm going to have to stop visiting this forum. That guitar was too nice.

Karl Hungus · 20-10-2005 7:45pm

In fairness, the Conklins are insanely overpriced. Give me the likes of Blackmachine or LGM over them any day.

John · 20-10-2005 7:45pm

The 8 string black machine. And the black Tokai. And the Warlock. And Petrucci's 7 string. ****ing hell, I need a new guitar.

jcoote · 20-10-2005 7:46pm

ha cootie is my nickname from school

http://www.conklinguitars.com/bizarregallery/biz7images/carvedquilt7descript.html... is savage tbh!!!

John · 20-10-2005 7:48pm

I have to say after looking at Conklin's site there's not one guitar I'd pick up.

jcoote · 20-10-2005 7:49pm

hell no man i like a load of em!!!

Karl Hungus · 20-10-2005 7:51pm

What about Nevborn, John?

John · 20-10-2005 8:02pm

Nope, I'm a fussy bastard.

Ancient1 · 21-10-2005 9:32pm

Oh my god.

We are SO raiding this guy's house.

feylya · 21-10-2005 9:38pm

I'm free next Wednesday Ancient, what about you?

Ancient1 · 21-10-2005 9:41pm

Yup. Who's got a van?

feylya · 21-10-2005 9:41pm

Well, I've a few cardboard boxes.

Rustar · 21-10-2005 9:45pm

I call dibs on the second SLATQH burl archtop and the black polka-dot Kramer.

Ancient1 · 21-10-2005 9:57pm

I want the white soloist and the custom 89 King V, oooh i'm drooling.

Rustar, you can have your share if you boost a van for us.

Fey - the cardboard gets you a couple of leads.

feylya · 21-10-2005 10:04pm

2 of those RR's will do me thanks. And leads are always handy!

Shanannigan · 22-10-2005 12:55am

that buskin guitar... looks pretty nice, ideal for buskin? it wouldn't look out of place on a stage either

also quick question
some1 came upto me when i was buskin with my jackson, and said that its unusual to see a jackson with a normal trem, that most of them have a floyd rose trem... i haven't really paid attention, but i haven't seen that many jacksons besides my own anyway
does anyone else percieve this to be the case?
