    Re: FRIGGIN FINALLY!!!

    The Death Angel is THE ONLY Archtop Death Angel.

    Pablo Santana was given credit for the Kutout Rhoads (sorry Sully). I did play it [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] and the kutz are stable as long as you don't plan on slamming it into your thigh like a douche-bag. I sat with it in "CLassical Position" and the bottom Kutout curves over your leg just like a regular Rhoads. Instead of the Kutz being extra wood on the guitar, they cut wood away from the body, which means the Kutz are as far away from the bridge as the rear of the wings of an RR1, so they should be less likely to break under normal use.

    Just uploaded more pics here:

    There's a ton of them, and they're not High Quality. Those are coming soon. There's all the Jacksons and Charvels as well as some Fenders and other crap.

    I got a bunch more pics of the Charvels and Jacksons, though - not much else to foto.
    I got video of Mustaine in the ESPee booth, but only a few seconds before some a$$hole stepped in front of the camera.
    He wasn't playing, just signing.

    Did I mention I met Adrian Belew? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

            Re: FRIGGIN FINALLY!!!

            All the Jacksons were set up with what I consider to be high action - I can get them lower with better playability but with some fret buzz (which you won't hear when it's amplified properly - with distortion - just acoustically).
            Plus I didn't have a strap, so I had to sit on a Fender Cybertwin holding the guitar with my legs like a mini-cello [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
            That said, the DA plays great - nice thick neckshape (none of them had the thin neck), light and comfy.

            The Goldtop Kelly had a Gibson-profile neck.

            The Silver Marble Kelly had the older "flatspot" neck, which was far more pronounced and noticeable than on the others. Hopefully they'll go back to that as the production standard and leave the round Stratty necks only on the Charvels.

            The Blue/Yellow Star plays friggin KILLER even with high action. Whoever gets that one is going to have a seriously great guitar to play.

              Ok Thanks!!
              Sounds like these Jackson have thicker necks than what I expected.

                Isn't that guitar a pickup short for you?

                      Good to see Joel & Todd going hardcore at the Daisy Rock booth. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Did anyone try one of those butterfly guitars?

                            I wanted this Kelly sooooo bad. Scott from Vwall offered to help me out as it was yet unsold. But with Big Red coming, I just couldn't muster the funds for it. Thanks for the offer Scott! It was well appreciated, and really nice to meet you, Tekky, Ralph and Mrs. Ralph Joel and his girl, and even Newc too. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                              Nice pics Newc!!! Great job! Pic 59 was interesting as it looks like the same shape as the fake guitar the cops are playing air guitar on in the Judas priest video Breaking The Law. Is that some kind of Vox guitar?
