Welcome!  :D

Is that the star-shaped guitar with a Kahler?  I always liked the look of them.

I would guess Painkillers for that old-skool metal, but that's not based on personal experience.  And on second thoughts, maybe they'd also be too bright in that maple.  Let's see what the chaps have to say.

Holy Diver will suit that guitar well.
