This is a total cop-out, but over at the Kramer Forum I made a nice write-up of what I have. I included lots of youtube embedded videos and pictures. Too much to redo so do yourself a favor and follow this link.

I have a couple. I'm having a hard time finding the link for 2 of them.

I have a Grover Jackson Soloist owned by Jim Root of Slipknot. He used it on their first national television appearance on Conan when they played Wait & Bleed. That's one link I'm having a hard time finding.

I also have a custom built PRS Standard that was built for Jim. You can see it in this vid.

I also own an Ibanez RG421 owned by Josh Rand of Stone Sour. It's burned to shit. I know he use to play it but I couldn't find any vids of it either. It was his C# guitar on their first tour cycle.

Jim also gave me a Jackson Soloist but it was never really used by him. Just owned by him. I have pics but on my computer at home.

A few of them. Jim has been my friend for about 25 years now. We grew up together even though he was a little younger than we were. He was a cool kid and a hot shot guitarist so we didn't care that he was in 7th grade and we were in 9th. It also helped that he got to about 6 foot 4 by the time he was 13.

Cool man! Tell him to send some groupies my way! I'll pm you my address.

[Bengal]

hehehehehehehehehehehehe.

No groupies. He's totally devoted to Cristina Scabia from Lacuna Coil. I'm waiting for the announcement they are getting married. I don't know if it will happen but they've been together a while now.
