Just finished making this baby, thought you guys might be interested.

Laminated maple through neck with ebony f/board, Mahogany wings, Super Dist and PAF Dimarzios. Slightly heavier than average. It sings. Getting shipped to Florida (from Australia) tommorrow.

Hi Drake, not remaking, this is the first. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Thanks for the comments guys. Sound byte below [img]/images/graemlins/band.gif[/img]

This hombre is Mark Devattimo, nominee for Guitarist of the Year in our local industry awards (W. Australia). Yup, he will nail the competition. These are the promo shots for the winners profile [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]




More pics here, here, and here.


Ok, here is the sound byte. The guy who recorded it was Graham Greene (www.grahamgreene.com.au) who is actually an Ibanez endorsee. He is talking about dropping his FREE Ibanze endorsement and taking on my guitars (with zero endorsement). Cool huh?
Whats even cooler, is something thats coming out BECAUSE of the recording... but, more on that later.

Anyway, the gear used:
Peavey ProFex II preamp, Ormsby Polka Dot (9-42's), straight to tape.

The patch had compression, Distortion, 3 band EQ, and a short delay. Drum machine, and Cort bass guitar.


File is 800kb

The sound byte is called Lazy Train, because Graham was too lazy to read the tablature for the music (Crazy Train). However, considering he has only heard the ozzy osbourne album a couple times (and the last time was early eighties), and had never played a RR song, AND he only listened to the track FIVE TIMES (to learn the chords, solo, everything), i think he did a good job [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It was recorded as three takes, but im not sure if it was spliced together, or not. The entire process took about an hour and a half, including programming the drums and recording the bass track AND learning the song.

Re: Polka Dot Flying Veeee

Perry, how is progress coming along on the "other" special edition replica you were planning?

[rhoads56]

Re: Polka Dot Flying Veeee

Everything is made to order, and i dont have anything "special" that i can think of scheduled. Not that i can recall talking about in a forum [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Ive got lots of things i personally want to do, but clients come first.
