once thats 'lived in' and the wood darkens from sweat and beer stains, it'll be great.

Just been noodling around with a new axe patch, really digging the lead tones from this thing. With a Holy Diver in there it should lose a bit of the "Marshall-y" upper midrange and get more Petrucci-ish.

This is just 10 secs of random lead playing, don't expect greatness hahah

very nice indeed. the mij ibanezes are great (well they were before the massive price increases :( ).

that looks pretty good for basswood, too. I know most makers put a solid finish over basswood. swirl would be really cool but that looks pretty good as-is.

EDIT: ^ dude you're a badass. that was awesome. :D
