    73 LPC. The T Tops are tucked away for safekeeping and it currently sports a set of potted Super 70s. Filled Kahler hole and the holes for the lock are still in the hs.

    anything you can't do on a Les Paul is because you haven't practiced enough or you don't rock hard enough.

    These are awesome. It's nice to see some awesome players. Hopefully I can get a pic of mine later.

    My early 90's Hamer Californian.





    When I got it, it had a thick red clear coat on it. I could see it had some cool grain underneath so I sanded it down and poly'd it up.

    DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge
    DiMarzio Chopper in the neck

    Super 5-Way:

    1. Bridge
    2. Bridge split
    3. Bridge and neck
    4. Bridge and neck out-of-phase
    5. Neck

    Soft maple body
    27 fret Maple/Rosewood neck

    I love everything about this guitar.


    When only the Tone Zone was active (had a faulty 3-way):




    @ 2:54 - 3:02 you can hear the out-of-phase position:

    I have not really played anything else since I get this together.

    '82 Charvel, solid birdseye maple body, JB/Jazz set up.

    I completely restored it (thread around here somewhere), and it has been my main player ever since.

    Be careful... I kind of went nuts with that when I had EC400s.

    I would have to say my Amber Gibson Les Paul Classic Plus. However, I really haven't played it a whole lot lately. I pretty much do most of my guitar playing now while watching TV. Most of it is done on my Charvel San Dimas Style 2 2H.

    For the money, it just doesn't get any better than those ECs. But there's just something about the ESP Japan guitars... VERY well put-together and my hands just want to shred when I touch them. A big part of the reason that I "abandoned" the EC400s was that I got back into more modern stuff this year and that big, thick slab of mahogany seems to make things go to mush when playing higher-gain stuff. So I'm sure that I'd be plenty happy with a pair of EC-1000s. In fact, my first pair of ESP/Ltds were a pair of EC-1000s about 7 years ago or so. They were great guitars and I wouldn't mind having them around right now. But of course, I'll keep the regular pair of ESPs that I have now just the same. Though I do have my eye on one of those EC-1000s in silverburst, and maybe a gold one, and... (LOL... does GAS really EVER end?)

    It's a Stinnett SS6. Black Limba (korina) body with a half thickness Flamed Maple top, a Wenge/Mahogany 5-piece long tenon set neck and an Ebony board. Graph-tech non-locking nut.

    Medium-Jumbo stainless steel frets, Hipshot locking tuners, Gotoh Floyd Rose, Seymour Duncan Jazz and Custom connected to a push pull (volume and tone respectively) pot for splitting. the volume pot also has the treble bleed mod.

    I spent the better part of 3 whole years planning every little detail about her before finally committing to ordering her. Seems I did ok too since although I really like almost all of my guitars, this is pretty much the only one I'll pick up ever since I got her so there you have it
    i never really dig purple guitars but this one is amazing looking...the back looks as good as the front! I like the woodgrain covers as well.

    My 1983 Burny. The first MIJ Les Paul I got. Great mid-driven sound. Takes on different pickups well. Plays well. Frets leveled recently.
