Photo album 2010 (Guitar gear)

It's about 2200 in SGD cause this is a second hand model. A first hand model cost about 3k during the Golden week sale and about 4k+ on normal days.

hmm, i was thinking it would be more expensive in japan than exported models, and you confirmed it.

japanese manufacturers (incl electronic goods and cars etc) are well know for practising heavy price discrimination, i.e. expensive within japan, cheaper out of japan.

an Ibanez JEM7V 2010 is going for about $3.7k on bgw website

2,2k for a used jem is a good buy.
Hardly see this kinda price tag on soft even if one pops up.

Recently I have been actively clearing out my stable of guitars, and here are the select few that survived the purge.
I had some time to take some photographs, just thought I would share them here.

Here's my main axe; an Edwards Jimmy Page 59' Reissue.

Here's my first project guitar. Custom stavac-steel bridge and brass trem-block were fabricated by Andi (eclizpe).
I sanded the neck down myself for that irresistible smoothness that we all know and love.

And here's my 19-year-old Yamaha YG1221. Still going strong, recently had all the electronics overhauled by Mike.

Great photos phil! Lovely guitars as well..

 

[Phil]

Thanks Jon. Coming from you it means even more.

 

[j_m_s]

great photos and beautiful guitars! Sheesh that yamaha is older than i am!

 

[dudelove]

Thanks Jon. Coming from you it means even more.

No shit man. Clicked on your signature and you really have very beautiful and tasteful photographs. Lots of emotion and expression in many of them. Really enjoyed looking at them. Gotta share some of your tips with me soon.

 

[j_m_s]

i concur with those sentiments. really good stuff!

And here's my 19-year-old Yamaha YG1221. Still going strong, recently had all the electronics overhauled by Mike.

i have a yg1212 with hss. didn't quite like the D shape neck so i sanded it to more of a C shape for better chording and gripping. these old yamahas just kick so much ass. i wish i could find 1 of those yamaha superstrats with shorter scale. that would make me very happy.

 

[Phil]

I have to say that my preference lies with a deeper 'C' profile too, I know exactly what you mean when you say 'better chording and gripping'. The neck on the Edwards and the project guitar are deep 'C's, feels so good in my hands.

I'll leave the Yamaha alone though, for days when I just feel like having a flatter, 'faster' neck to fool around with.


James and Jon,

Thank you so much for the comments and compliments!

2 new pieces of gear came this week!

After 6 months of waiting, I need to ship the Echo back to Marc..

 

[Phil]

Beautiful. Must have cost a bit eh?

 

[j_m_s]

Nice! Whoa why dya have to ship it back!!!

 

[dudelove]

Nice! Whoa why dya have to ship it back!!!

Because I want 25% off my next Skreddy purchase and because of Marc's careless error in wiring the loop in reverse.

 

[j_m_s]

ohh okay, haha (the 25% off is worth it!!!!)
