    They can but it's always ugly. Their copies are pretty nice though, I must admit!

      Well, the body is slightly altered so I doubt they will be able to pin 'em for it.
      My Main Rig:
      '87 Charvel Model 4A
      Peavey KB100 amp
      Ibanez SM7 Smashbox

      Others:
      '92 Gibson Les Paul Custom
      '05 Ibanez RG320FM
      '86 Ovation Pinnacle
      '98 Synsonics Custom Strat
      '89 Kramer 700ST Bass

          Me too. I honestly think I would buy one if I had the money after my RR24.

            I like it too, just kinda a blatant copy. Though after doing more research apparently the guy that plays it had a custom shop model for a little while or something.

              Gus rocks man.

              I love stars. But I'd have to find myself s Jackson/Charvel I think. Too much love for those ya know? But if I bought an ESP/LTD, it would definately have to be an ESP. If your gonna do it, do it right.

                    ESP has been doing that body shape for years. The "RS" or Random Star. Anyone remember Loudness? And the Charvel isn't neck-thru either. I've been eyeing these up, but NOT at that price...

                        I have been wanting a Gus G model for awhile now, (ESP or LTD) unfortunately it only come s in red. I hate red. For the jap market there is a black with with binding but no floyd. The LTD comes with a real floyd and real duncans.
                        I am also a big fan of his band Firewind.
                        Just one more guitar!

                          That Gus G Star kicks ass! I still want a Roope Latvala Star, though.
                          I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                              So what didn't you like about it? Was the ESP or the LTD? Was there anything you did like?
