My old Predator

[axmann]

I finally got around to doing a little touch up and cleaning on a guitar I really enjoy playing. Some guitars are just plain hard to put down. This one stays on a stand in my small studio area all the time. I never changed the pickups from stock. I have a habit of doing that. I have found the stock hum to do just about anything I want. Mainly metal, but man can it handle some dirty blues very nicely. The single is a bit mild, but if you give it a chance I have found it to be quite interesting, especially playing clean. I have a hard time doing that, but thats one of my goals. Listen a little more . I have to say the stock trem is one of my absolute favorites. I am the master of "cat stuck in car fan belt" noises. Thought I would throw the pic out there. Hey Tricky, Dude you rock, my thanks. Cheers from Wisconsin.

Sweet man Rock On from WI!!!

? is that an ebony board?

[axmann]

No, its rosewood. Just really, really dark. I have only cleaned and oiled it a bit. I was fortunate when I got it that the previous owner maybe played some power chords on it. Minimal fret and fretboard wear.

[axmann]

Oh yeah,its way darker colored than that. Almost a wine metalic color. It was hit with almost direct morning sunlight. Its not that happy looking, if you know what I mean.

[Tricky]

Sweet.
The dark board with that color makes for a slick look.
Clean and classy, without being overdone.
I agree on the pups. The J90 can can throw out some mean heavy blues, and the J200 works pretty good for some Zeppelin 1.
Looks like a keeper to me.

Thanks, it plays quick and really frets nice and crisp. Just a great sounding guitar. The color is just a bit bizzare with all the funky metal flake. In any natural light it looks like the picture, out of the sunlight or in a corner it is a deeper red. Either way, all good!

Nice! Is that a box of records back there? Wow!

[axmann]

Come on, you got some records laying around, don't you? It can't just be me. Thats a very small sprinkle of them. I'd grab old used peach crates from where I worked as a kid. Albums fit perfect. You know for me on a Sunday morning its just nice to spin a old Mahogany Rush album.

Denmark? Me mums grandpa came from there in the 1890's to here. Not even knowing your musical scene you automatically kick ass. " The Power and the Glory" sent to the half of my homeland. That and I think I have some old Royal Hunt vinyl around here somewhere. Hail Denmark!
