that's right

My friend has a Rosewood SRV, you know it's the ones before they made the fret board from Pao ferro wood. Mostly likely it's a collectors item now. The SVR passed the price of an E.C. & Jeff Beck's Strat, I thought they were the same price a few years ago. Even the Road Worn Strats are pricey for what they are, so that squashes the idea for me of modifying one into a SVR-style Strat.

I have two Gibson SGs, One worn wood finish and one with a Pewter finish.
Also running these two through a Fender Deville Amp. X3 Live floorboard for effects.

Noooooo :( Wonderful guitars and tube amp but what sounds like its being ruined with insanely digital sounded Line 6 effects.

:mad:
Hey... I have a Line 6 head. It's perfectly capable of collecting dust just as well as anything else.

The tube ones dont sound bad. I have just found the solid states to be dry and lacking.

Oh no, I don't disagree at all.
The only time I ever used that damn thing was with a Peavy Valveking half stack at live gigs where the acoustics were so bad it was literally impossible to gauge the quality of my Line-6 head.

yeah, the guy from the Spin Doctors had a custom 3 humbucker strat back in the early 90s pretty sure he mentioned needing to do a little routing to make them all fit though. i hate myself for remembering that band now. apologies to older members reading this.

i'm sorry but this is just sad. you either have an ESP EX guitar or you have an LTD EX-### (numbers indicating overall quality) from the ESP site it's either a 50, 360 or 401. anything under 400 is made in Indonesia and anything above 400 is made in Korea all LTDs are made with lower grade materials and hardware as compared to their ESPs counterparts(made in Japan).

with an LTD under 400 you're basically putting the equivalent of a really nice beginner guitar over a freaking Gibson and a custom one at that... :bonkhead:

or are you calling an Epiphone a Gibson because they're both sold as 'Les Pauls'?

My buddy just loaded some new blue/silver/red Lace Sensors into my Mexi Strat. He also completely shielded the inside and star grounded the thing...even on my ****ty practice amp this thing sounds 10x better. I did not expect such a difference, but these things rock the ****. I consider the sound to be halfway between a humbucker and a single coil. The blue neck pickup has the sexiest clean sound I have ever heard. Oh yeah, and zero hum. That was the biggest damn annoyance I've had with strats and single coils in general. My worries are over!

Not to mention my guitar looks damn sexy with black pickups.

Lace sensors are wonderful. They have definitely rescued many old strats from disease.

Does anyone else play piano or keyboards of any sort? I've been moving further and further away from guitar for a while and back to my first and favorite instrument to the point that I can't remember the last time I played my guitar. Seems like most everyone around here plays guitar, bass or drums though.
