Famous guitars in the hands of forum members

[toejam]

great thread!!..I've always wondered, how dinky is Sptz's dinky Rhoads, is it significantly smaller than a normal Rhoads

I believe someone here stated that Dan had them cut the bevels off a regular Rhoads and redo it. Here's a tracing someone did awhile ago comparing.

So Chris Holmes (3 metres tall) had a SMALLER guitar than Dan Spitz (twelve centimetres tall)???!!!

Maybe Chris really isn't that tall, he just plays tiny guitars to make himself look bigger?

Like Ian Anderson - this guitar is actually normal sized....

Nah, Chris had a regular size RR and it broke, so it got reshaped.

I actually played one of Mike Romeo's Kramers back in the '80s. I used to take lessons from him at my house and his house.

Sweet! I got to check out his Comparisons when they came through SoCal (my buddy is really good friends with SymX's singer Russ), but I didn't have the balls to ask him to play it! Super nice guys - I swear - Romeo doesn't stop playing/noodling except to eat!

More on topic, I have a Model 2 formerly owned by Dave Starr of Laaz Rockit/Vicious Rumors "fame", and a Mesa SOB head formerly owned (AND played!) by Jimmie Lyons on the first couple Eddie Money albums...

Ok - well, I got the guitar for $100 and the head for $300, so they were cheap and a damn good deal anyway!:ROTF:

I played EVO and MOJO a while back while i was interviewing Vai, along with his mirror double neck and the prototype acoustic. Apart of that.. nothing more to report :P

I get it that you two were... close

He worked at a music store a few blocks from me, I inquired about lessons. The woman who owned the store was a bitch and Mike decided to give me privates lessons. He lived a few more blocks up in his grandfather's house (which was right next door to a good friend of mine anyway), so I would sometimes go there or he would come to my house. My mom used to think he looked like Yngwie in the posters on my wall. :ROTF:

He seemed to never put that guitar down. He actually broke the headstock on the Kramer at one time, he was pretty bummed out, but then he glued it back together and it seemed fine. I would love to check out a Caparison one day. I haven't seen Mike since the late '80s, not sure if he would remember me.
I hung out with the old SymX bass player, Tom Miller, a few times in the early '90s (going bar hopping with some mutual friends), and he was really cool, too. I also used to see new bass player Mike LePond everywhere I went; never knew who the hell he was, though. :ROTF:
