Here are my latest pics. Unfortunately the JP Relic Edwards (current main guitar) is missing.

Mighty fine!  :D

Forgive my ignorance, but what's that "Phonic" thing in your rack?

And what bridge pickup has the SG got at the moment?

The Phonic thing is a power conditioner/rack light. Kinda important on computer stuff like the Axe FX.

The SG right now has a MiracleMan, it's not a very good match I must say, it needs a more meaty guitar I'd say.

Ah, I see.

I must say, on seeing your Axis I felt a sudden pang of regret that I sold my Axis Sport years ago  :( .  I must get another EB/MM one day.

It's more the hearing than the seeing having that effect :O)

That looks like a great collection Hunter. I am warming to the Mira. I always thought it looked pretty good but yours looks fantastic. Gonna have to try one out methinks as I may be buying myself a present soon.

Mira? where?  :?

Err, Mira?  I don't see one?  I think you're seeing things Mr38th  ;)

Your rig does look great Hunter, except for that crazy rack 'thing'  :lol:  I must do a group shot of my lot at some point....

am I oh sh*t what have I done? Obviously I have mistaken something-gonna have to have another look.

Sorry gents you are quite right-I should put me damn glasses on and use my new PC instead of this old beaten up thing. 
Title: Re: Hunter's latest rig pics
Post by: dave_mc on September 20, 2008, 04:57:20 PM
that's a great rig, you seem to have most of the bases covered regarding the "classic" guitars (something i'm trying to do too, but failing miserably at :lol: )
Title: Re: Hunter's latest rig pics
Post by: sambo on September 20, 2008, 04:59:07 PM
To be fair Beatle- the Gibson DC (I presume that is the guitar in question :lol: :wink:  ) , does look pretty similar to a Mira at a glance/without maximising the image above. :)

Ah yeah you know guys, I'd rather play the original LOL

In fact I did have quite some Mira GAS already ...

I also badly want an Explorer, ideally a Korina or natural Mahogany one with a short trem *LOVE*

Further I have my eyes on an Olympic white 60s strat, guess I'll visit Erik v.d. Haar soon to order one.

The Gilmorised Tokai is a pleasure really, I'm so happy how that came out. Now I wanna cut that trem arm to Gilmour specs.

Also I'd like to swap the PRS SE against a real one (e.g. a Tremonti or a 245).

Finally the Baja Tele needs to be exchanged with a Haar as well :O)

Other than that ... maybe an ES 335?

Loads to do ...

The first picture is very GAS-inducing. DCs rule.

Thank you Sam, you are right I didn't maximise it but I still feel like a lemon!

Very nice rig !!

How is the Shiva incorporated into it ?   Or is it just languishing, forgotten and neglected these days ?
Title: Re: Hunter's latest rig pics

What is the Haar for the telecaster? The luthier in Holland? :?

Indeed, it's just there because of the nice memories we share together :O)

Yes, his guitars are really really great, and he does the compound radius thing (9"-12") which improves playability A LOT. A relic Haar Strat or Tele costs 1/3 or 1/2 of the Fender and is at least as good.

Very nice, especially the Edwards!

Yeah, very tasty looking family Hunter.

How's your Dano fitting in at the moment? I find mine goes without getting played for a while, and then suddenly it takes over, and all the more expensive guitars seem surplus to requirements! I've been playing mine all afternoon :D. I only picked it up because my Baja's in the shop getting pimped, I was missing it, and the Dano is the only one that sounds remotely like it... (it doesn't sound much like it, but it's the closest). Just putting it down now to restring the strat...

That's a really nice collection - I love the Gilmour-style Tokai!


Also I'd like to swap the PRS SE against a real one (e.g. a Tremonti or a 245).


If you do, you won't be disappointed. I've got a Tremonti, an SC245 and an SE Singlecut - the SE is a good guitar, especially with Holy Divers in it, but the other two are awesome!

Very nice gear Hunter!

Talking of Miras they are rather tasty arn't they! I was reading about them in Guitar Buyer on holiday and they really grow on you.
