  • The twins have arrived...well, a few months ago..

    So, I've been really lazy to take good pictures, well not all lazy - busy and not home much when the sun is out.

    I ordered these 2 CS's soloist's from The Music Zoo, dealt with the manager Tim Reynolds per the connection Ian made for me.

    Tim is fantastic - just fantastic! My experience with TMZ was really good and I promise you I'm very OCD (Engineer) and hard to please. Big thanks to Tim!

    Also, I need to thank Ian Neill for connecting me with Tim and overall being a great friend. Marty Friedman's webmaster (Mayzan) needs a "thank you" as well for selling me the only chrome LSR set I could find on the planet and for recommending push/push pots instead of push/pull.

    Another big thanks to Mike Shannon for building fantastic guitars and Kurt Walton for helping with the process.

    So, on to the guitars (better pics down the road):

    These are almost identical. No truss rod cover, no Floyd spring cover, minimal control routes, extremely thin necks, R5 nuts, recessed Floyds, LSR tuners, special input jacks, push/push pup selector, H/S, and both with black binding with MOP side markers, special volume knob location, rev HS, "Pablo" backside cut, G&G cases.

    The main differences as you can see is the paint, the boards (one ebony - very dark, one Birdseye maple), barbwire inlays, bio-hazard inlays, and the logo's

    Just very nice guitars and to my door in 18 months.

        Wow, just killer dude. They're both very cool. I'm a big fan of H-S layouts. Especially love the green w/black vintage logo.

          Wow. I didn't notice the barbed wire in the other thread. What pickups did you go with?
          I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

            Looking at these guitars: I have a feeling you are a George Lynch fan.

            What's the logo size on the black one? 80%? 100%?

              Looks great Dave - glad I could help in some small way, and am delighted that you're happy with the end result. Awesome!
              Popular is not the same as good
              Rare is not the same as valuable
              Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                    Yes, I love Lynch but he has no influence on my guitars. 100% logos, another great tip from Ian.

                        What was Ian's tip regarding the 100% logos?

                          He was getting a 100% logo on a custom select, one they screwed up, right before my logo was going on so I contacted Kurt and told him to go 100%. The timing was perfect...
