It is indeed. Solid Brazilian rosewood neck too, very nice!

I love those crash strats, I really do. I might be interested at the right price smile

Very nice tone on those JB's.

As an aside, my wife has noted that when playing single string noodles I make the same expression as you (i.e. I open my gob and draw flies).

Thanks Gents.

Hands down the best neck I've played on a guitar.

Amazing.

I get endless amounts of whooshing for the uncontrollable gurning. No idea why i do it, but I can't seem to stop. There's an aamerican band called cage the elephant & their guitarist is the worlds worst. In fact, see for yourself:

Picked up one of the EVH art guitars. Went out to Orlando at easter and took in the Orlando VH show on the 12th april, so when the art guitar came up he played that night had to have it. Pretty cool souvenir really. The serial no is 107, my other halfs date of birth is 10th July, so saw it as a sign!!. Nice touch leaving the pleccies on too.

Nice! Looks like an AXE FX II on the floor there as well?? How do you find it?? Thinking of getting one (when the MFC comes back into stock!)

Love the Axe FX 2...goes straight into a pair of RCF NX10's, loaded up 6.0 software and it pretty much nails whatever sound I want.v6 is so much better than the previous efforts, sound was always good but it lacked the tube feel & touch, 6.0 has rectified that. I basically run the axe & an Ipod into a mixer straight to the 10's and play along to backing tracks, lots of van halen stuff etc and it sounds really good.
Dont get to play as much as I used too so again axe is perfect, once set up the presets, just dead easy to grab a few hours here & there for a jam. Needs the MFC foot controller really I think, and hoping they get the axe edit software sorted soon as thats a great way to ammend presets/move stuff about/auditon patches etc.
Liking all the tone match stuff that gets posted as well now, Im pretty lazy, well not really lazy, but like to spend my limted time playing, so its great to grab other peoples patches, usually pretty much find the sound I want without actually building any myself, just the odd tweak here & there. Had boogies/matchless/marshalls...all gone now just axe fx for me

Pedal board! TS9 & mxr dynacomp are probably the heaviest used in there, although the Hardwire delay is extraordinarily good too.

Didn't plan to buy anything, but picked up this second hand HSS Mex Strat today. Bit battered, but plays/sounds great! Apologies for the poor quality pic...

Something you dont see everyday. Owned a green one of these years ago, sold it & regretted it ever since. They never come up for sale, anyone cut along story short,couldnt belive it when one came up, guy didnt want to sell overseas but I sweet talked him into it.
Guild Crossroads, designed by slash, from the guild custom shop. Dont make them anymore which is a shame, its a beast, and a guitar you can truly do 12 string acoustic & electric. Obviously played knockin on heavens door quite a bit..hotel california/wanted dead or alive...and dare i Say it...stairway. Great guitar build quality is great, such a shame they dont do them anymore.

Like the Germanium Big Muff! thumbup I have the Germanium OD, but whenever I run it on DC, it hums horrendously! Can't figure out what's wrong with it.

A few more snaps of my PRS duo...

513, 10-top, solid Brazilian rosewood neck front and back, Natural.
Custom 24, 10-top, Wood Library limited edition, Blue Fade.

These are both keepers for sure.

Got a huber Orca 59, loved it so much bought its sister too...fantastic guitars, what an LP should be, fatback , big LP 59 neck, but lovely carved top, fingerboard edging & Kloppman pups in one, Haussel in the other. Pic doesnt show it very well, but thin mat lacquer & aged hardware. I will never buy a les paul again Nik Huber is way ahead, try one

Epic win.
Stunning! Well Done.
