Re: New Chris Holmes guitarsite up and running!!!

Cool site, ever since visiting it I've been listening to my old WASP stuff. I always loved that yellow star.

I need more room for guitars. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: New Chris Holmes guitarsite up and running!!!

I'm not done on my research on the yellow star yet, but I'm 99% sure it's not Charvel nor Jackson. The "original" neck had no logo and Chris got the body later to complete it. It might be a Dimarzio or similar body. Also the body was bought unfinished. Chris later got a custom Charvel neck for it, and then a Jackson and another Jackson and another and another... He was really hard on that guitar! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] If someone can guess the manufacturer of the body from the pics please let me know!
Thanks!

I'm no expert but, I remember ESP selling just guitar parts at that time with Akira Takasaki in there adds.

Well the yellow had the sd-type route, so I think that would narrow it down to Charvel, Mighty Mite, and Dimarzio (and maybe I am forgetting one more brand???). I thought in one pic you could see an SD Charvel-style plate?

I think the control knob layout might be a little help in identification, but the body is already so trashed in the pics that you can't tell what the original knob layout was.
