Robert Burns,
what is that plastic thing on the butt of that Jackson?
Also I'd like to add that I really like your Ovation alot. I'm looking for a left handed Celebrity that looks the same as yours. Does it have a shallow or medium bowl on it?

Here's my current collection:
The King V's (left to right)
1996 KV Std - 1993 KV2 bolt on(RR3 sharkfin neck) - 1999 KV3
These all have an EMG '81 w/18v mod, 1 volume. (no tone/no neck pickup) The KV3 is 1-1/2 steps down to C# for the Sabbath stuff
Next up is my '83 Kramer Focus 4000 Roundhorn V that I converted to a lefty by filling in the old control cavity and neck pickup route, and re drilling it. Seymour Duncan TB-4/ 1 volume, Jackson KV Std. neck
It was painted winter camo, but I recently refinished it in Red
Next up is my Charvel mutt inspired by Jake E. Lee
This currently has an EMG'85 18v mod and 1 volume
Here's my '08 Jackson DK2L
I tore the tone pot out of it as soon as I got it, relocated the volume pot to where the tone was.
Here's my Kramer Frankenstrat that I built and painted myself:
Kramer NOS body, Jackson neck EMG'81 9v Jackson JT-580 trem, DK2 hardware
Next is my LTD M100 modded with an ESP logo, scalloped 15-24 frets, filled in nck pickup, control pot holes and 3 way switch hole and re drilled it for 1 volume. It has a Black/Creme DiMarzio in it.
Before the Bengal:
With the Bengal:
Here's my 2004 BC Rich Platinum Pro with a Jackson PS-4 neck and black vinyl sharkfins Bill an Becky Lawrence L500, and a custom Lightning finish:
And lastly, this is my current project; a left handed Rhoads:
Metal Church, the way you set up your King V's is fuckin' SWEET! I need one more so I can do that too!
Here's my group pic with the newly acquired USA RR1!
(from left to right, in order of purchase)
• Encore Strat Copy (scalloped frets 12-21)
• BC Rich Warlock (2003 Body Art Serious: Flesh Ring)

**** Shhhh.... if i let BillZ know about it...i'll be kicked out of the JCF !
It's a GK-3 Midi PUP, so it can be used with the Roland GR-20 Guitar Synth.
(not to worry..sits above the body about 1/8th inch...just mounts to the
end strap post) So i havent ruined the Saturn graphic!
You can blend how much synth, or guitar tone you want.
A touch of "Orchestra" with 80% guitar...or the other way around. Hate to admit this, but that Jackson is a looker only...really
anemic weak Pups in it.. So it blows for tone. Or ive just become so
used to the EVH 78, and TB5's PUPS that i cant bond with it anymore...(i know
i need to do the 18 volt mod someday) Anyway..makes a great toy
being able to play acoustic piano, Banjo!, and Sax, thru your amp!
Since im way too lazy to ever learn the Piano...being able to hear
a perfect acoustic piano coming out of your speakers, playing from
a Jackson...is just too cool! (dont tell Bill!)
That Ovation is a 93' Elite super shallow body... Nowadays, you can
buy an import, that has everything except the walnut pyramid inlays in
the neck, for around $525.00 This USA model ran me $1150.00 back
in the day.. Its one of the few ssbodies, that has a full tone un amplified.
Another cool thing, is that if you can find one of these used, in good
condition, it's only going to set you back about $600.00 (saw one last
month in the used section of GC online)

Whats the deal with the FrankenJEM? (I don't mean that in a bad way, I think it's really cool.)
That's my custom made "IbanED".....................
