Some of my guitars

[Jamie]

Took some pics of all of my guitars, however the camera crashed as I was transfering the pics and now it wont turn on. I did manage to salvage a couple of poorly taken pics featuring my favourite 4.



Left - Jeff Loomis Schecter 7 string

My favourite of the lot. So easy to play and the sustain is incredible, however the weight feels considerably more than my LPs. It can sound a little muddy with chords but for playing lead it sounds fantastic, if a little compressed. Was an absolute steal at £360.

Mid - Charvel Socal MIJ
Fun to play, and the unfinished neck feels great. Stays in tune well even after some FR abuse. Tone zone sounds nice but I don't really care for the Evo in the neck. It will most likely be my first guitar to get a BKP upgrade.


Right - Ibanez Jem (BSB)
Its one of those guitars which I think looks better than it plays. That might be a little unfair as I have yet to put some heavier gauge strings on it. 9-46s with the super thin neck makes it feel like a toy. It does sound nice though and the Edge Lo-Pro(?) is great.



Jackson Kevin Bonds sig RR
My first decent guitar. Don't like the look of it as much as I did as a teen, however I am still liking the neon green. The neck is nice and chunky and has a really nice feel to it. The ebony fretboard feels very nice, it does seem to have fairly big pores for ebony though. Bridge is a bit strange, fine tuners on a hardtail anyone? I must say I have never used the fine tuners though. One thing this guitar does very well is melt your face off. The Iommi pickup has a massive, chunky sound and the clarity is always there, harmonics scream as well, its a shame the pup can't be bought.


All these play very nicely through my Jim Root TT, oh and you can't go wrong with Jazz IIIs!

Nice collection! My favorite by far is that blue Charvel, a great looking guitar  8)

I'm quite partial to the V, looks great!

[Telerocker]

Nice collection! The Charvel looks very sweet.

It does look very nice, although the blue doesn't quite look as light as it does in the picture.

I think my main issue with the RR is the pentagram inlays, seems kind of childish now. The inlays seemed like a good idea at the time, would look much better with sharkfins or no inlays.

The Shecter and the Charvel looks really good. The Ibby and Jackson is not my thang as I don't fancy pointy guitars and I have never understod the handle thing on the JEMs. It just seems ridicolous to me.

haha. we share similar tastes, i've got a loomis as well but hardtail that's fitted with black dogs and a RR24 with a trem and yellow pinstripes with a blackhawk on the bridge.

the loomis is an incredible guitar, that piece of ash is awesomely resonant and so midrange grindy. sweet gear mate!

707s are fairly large, how well do the black dogs fit in the pup cavities?

[Keven]

actually with the legs the BKP's are bigger, so i had to trim down the legs so it fits into the cavity, then i ordered 7 string pickup rings from allparts and just proceeded with the installation. the downside is the modification to the pickup's legs, but i love them to they're staying.

nowadays however with the soapbar mount from BKP's it's much easier to retrofit those 7 strings, i've had my BKP's for a while ;)

[Plenum n Heather]

That is a very nice collection. The Lo-Pro is probably my favourite Floyd alternative. I used to put 10s on my JEMs; you should try it, I think you will like it. (Before I became an old man and sold off my JEMs and Kamikazes :) )

very nice :D
