Re: My Gear

I know you sold it already Pete, but I dig that white strat. That's what I'd like my next Warmoth project to be: White rear loaded basswood or mahogany strat body, Wolfgang profile maple/maple strathead, non recessed OFR, direct mounted Dimarzio zebra PAF, one volume knob. Cool old school guitar!

The Furman works fine, it was pretty cheap too ($50 I think). Can't be too careful with your gear.

Like the carpet eh? I just got the house about six months ago and instead of remodeling the things that need it, I bought gear instead. Makes sense right? [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: My Gear

Hey Shawn! I can't say it enough... When I went Les Paul shopping, I looked at Studios, Standards, and Classics. They were all awesome, but expensive. I tried the Epi Elite at the suggestion of of a sales guy at one of the stores I visited. I couldn't believe it! I went back at least three times to make sure I wasn't crazy! They play, sound, and feel as good as any Gibson I've tried for half the price. The one advantage they have is that the lacquer on the neck is smoother than the type of paint that Gibson uses. They usually sell for around a grand, but I got mine for $750 w/case. Unbeatable deal. It's probably my favorite guitar right now, next to the Wolf. Gibsons do have the "cool" factor going for them, but cool factor alone doesn't make them better.

That Charvel is so frustrating! It could be great, but the relief is at about the 12th fret and the only way I can get is out is to take the neck off, clamp it, tighten the rod, and put it back on the guitar. I had the action great but decided to take it to a "pro" to have it set up (I just put the OFR on and wanted it strobed)... he ruined it! Now I have to do it all over again. Also, the Floyd nut is a bit too high, so I have to rout the ledge a bit to get it right.
