The 8 String "Leviathan"

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

Karl Hungus · 31-12-2004 12:42AM

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

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 09:49AM

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

feylya · 31-12-2004 02:49PM

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

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 03:36PM

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

feylya · 31-12-2004 03:39PM

Bleh!!!

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

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 03:41PM

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.

feylya · 31-12-2004 03:42PM

Tell me more about this Eggle

david · 31-12-2004 03:45PM

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

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 03:53PM

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

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

Why do I get an Iommi vibe from that guitar?

John · 31-12-2004 04:23PM

Nice carpet. And the guitar ain't bad either

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 04:24PM

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.

feylya · 31-12-2004 04:25PM

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

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 04:26PM

Eeen Eeeengleeeesh?

John · 31-12-2004 04:27PM

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.

feylya · 31-12-2004 04:28PM

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

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 04:31PM

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

feylya · 31-12-2004 04:32PM

Ah, GWAN!!!

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

John · 31-12-2004 04:36PM

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

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 04:36PM

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!

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 04:39PM

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

feylya · 31-12-2004 04:41PM

Excellent...

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 04:44PM

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

feylya · 31-12-2004 04:45PM

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!!!

John · 31-12-2004 04:50PM

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!

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 04:50PM

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

feylya · 31-12-2004 04:50PM

I don't like the Stealth.

There, I said it.
