He played 540's. The one most people call the Skolnick model is the 540PII. Has a body like this one.

On the earlier albums he played a Maxxas - it had hollow tone chambers in it.

Yeah, I know he played several different Ibanez guitars. Just giving the guy the info on the one guitar that is pretty much known as the Alex Skolnick model. Though he didnt have an Ibanez signature model.

legacy- charvel star (black and white)
new order- red saber with lightning bolt inlays
practice- maxxas in studio, saber- live
souls- 540 pII
ritual- can't remember...d.m.

btw- the 540 pII he's playing in the pic was the guitar he used when he toured with stu hamm on ...the urge tour?!? i think...

when i saw him with savatage he switched between criss" gargoyle and a re-ish

When James came in after Alex he also played Ibabez Sabers as well as a heavily modded Fender. I wonder if Alex's playing Ibanez had anything to do with that because before that I know he was playing BC Rich.

I just watched the Trial by Fire video. It's a red saber.
