Ok WildMan....you have given me the Megadeth bug....I will be getting this guitar very soon....also a guitar model that Dave Mustaine plays...here is the actual model and color...I found out it is a limited edition model as aposed to the regular models...I think because of the paint. I looked at it today and it is just like new and has the hardshell case with Dave's signature on it. I won't say the price cause it makes me cringe but I am sure I will again run into Dave and have him sign it...word.

 

wow, all this talk about guitars.
forget owning one, i'd just like to be able to play one lol.

 

You can...it is never to late to learn...and it can be really fun.

 

... I doubt it, he lives about 12 miles from me... and I live about 2600 miles from you.


But... If I run into him again, I'll let you know.

Right on man, and I am seeing Megadeth, with Dio and Sabbath, with Machine Head. The 22nd of April, here at Dodge Theater. I have seen Megadeth, twice, and Sabbath twice. They put on great concerts also. But yeah that is a sweet axe. You do know that Dave Mustaine signed with Dean guitars right? I still love the King V, the best though. It is just better looking than the Dean, and ESP, he used to play. Anyway I'm glad I gave you the Megadeth bug. he he. Good luck on getting that axe man, pretty tight.

 

Yeah, I just found out a few days ago that he signed with Dean Guitars (Dean is based here in Pinellas County). I don't like the look of Dave's Dean model...though I have never played a dean that sounded or played bad...even the dirt cheap deans play and sound good.

 

I couldn't help it... Guitar center was having a sale.

That's 3 new guitars THIS year so far. They're the only addiction stronger than Z Cars.




The 3 major food groups...

Telecaster
Stratocaster
Les Paul

 

Nice purchase Rod! I've been thinkin about getting a Les Paul but I don't really want to fork out the $$$ for a Gibson so I was thinking about getting an Epiphone. So how do you like it? Is there really much difference between an Epi and a Gibson.....except for the name on the headstock? I've had a couple Epi Explorers and they were great guitars.

 

The Epi's I have owned over the years have been as good or better than my high dollar Gibsons in almost every case. I love them and I can't justify the massive cost difference to go to the actual Gibson anymore... buy one, you won't regret it!


Rod.

 

Nice score Rod, those are some sweet axe's! Anyway I have been recording myself playing my axe with my cell phone. Just the sounds, kind of crappy. But you can hear me playing notes and such. Anyway where can I go to put the recordings at? I can send them to e-mail. Then I should be able to put them on a website. So if anybody can tell me where to go. I will try and post the sound clips up.

 

Uggggg, no Dave Mustaine ESP...oh well guess I will just stick with the good old Jackson Dinky....

Me Bored.

You SERIOUSLY need to clean that thing.

You have a nice collection there Rod.

 

Added yet another one to the collection today...

Rod.

 

Here you go everybody: The moment you have been waiting for. lol Well certain some of you anyway. Here are recent pics of me holding my axe. Enjoy, and feel free to comment. Oh Rod and thx, sweet axe's bro's. And thanks for keeping my thread alive. You All ROCK!!

 

Oh yeah, didn't want to leave out anybody else, that has contributed to my thread. You all ROCK too, that goes for everybody that has posted on this thread. And shown their sweet axe's, thanks guys.

 

If there was any guitar that fit you any better, it would still be a King V. Looks good man. Now, lower that guitar so that the toggle switch is crotch level, then you will look a little more comfortable you have long arms so you should still have a good grip on the strings.



I have just been playing around with a Jackson Dinky Reverse and my new Zoom 505II pedal, it sounds real nice for metal. I will be getting a Dean Vendetta guitar here soon and doing my thing to it. What I mean is I will be taking out the stock pickups and replacing them with either a matched set of Duncan JB's (SH-4, TB-4) or going with what I have always swapped in, Dimarzio Tone Zone DP155 (bridge pickup) and the Air Norton DP193 (neck pickup) they sound so sweet together. I am sure I will go with the Dimarzio's....I always do.

 

i have a guitar identical to that.

 

Where are the pics then...come on, be one of us!!

 

i dont have it here, its at my folks. technicaly my stepdads guitar, but he cant really play it anymore (tablesaw mishap).

 

this one is all mine.

 

Yeah I like those, they made a limited run of those epi's

 

Nice purchase Rod. My number one axe is a Olympic White Strat. Thats my favorite color for a Strat...and that was the color of the Strat Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock.

Cool pics WildmaN. The Iron Maiden T-shirt FTW!
