one day you'll see the light. it's right at the end of that long, dark, narrow-minded tunnel of metal :P ;)

That Manson Mermaid (I'm not going to copy that enormous pic from page 1 again) is an amazing piece of work, but it's creepy. I don't think I'd want to touch it, and I'd sh!t myself if I bumped into it in a darkened room.

Very nice Indy!

I looked at the whole range of the Trussart guitars Ratrod posted, and I have to say I really like them as well.

"Steelcaster" with a hollow steel body and a sort of mesh-top- awesome.

Hell yeah those Trussart guitars look incredible - i wander if they sound good too though. I'd kill to try one out - does anyone know of any dealers?

What makes you think I like metal guitars?

Oh, and you might see the light one day. It's at the end of that long, dark, tunnel of "look at me I'm awesome I play pentatonics and shake my finger a little bit so it almost looks like I can do vibrato" narrowminded arrogance.

On a serious note (meaning the above wasn't): I outgrew strats and teles when I was in my early teens. I see several good players that haven't and that's just fine and dandy with me. There's no hierachy of which type music is superior to the other, for whatever reason.

I was joking too mate :P
But yeah it's all just an issue of taste. I always find that I hate something one week, and then the next I'll be in love with it, and vice-versa.

and in regards to why I thought you'd be into 'metal' guitars - isn't everyone on this forum? :P That and the dead-looking hands with nail varnish on the in ur avatar.

There's a few dealers on the website.

If you copy and paste the names of the shops into google you'll get the dealers own websites (there's no link to them on the Trussart site for some weird reason).

About 3 or 4 UK ones I think. DAMN expensive though.

The "dead looking" is due to pic quality I think. It's Jason Becker.

mEthuuuUUlllz eh?

(ironically, I play more blues now than I ever did. I just can't stand when people think the reason I hate strats and teles is that "they're not metal enough". I'm glad you were joking though. People can be very stuck up about those things.)

btw, the guitar in your av is more metal than any guitar I own, or enjoyed playing.

THIS is a Tele and can go from Blues to AAAGGGHHH! :twisted:

I've seen a few of these in person when the builder came to canada to do seminars on bass construction. They are unbelievably pretty, and sound increadibly good. Like, almost too good.
