We should all have a get together with our guitars and try things out. Maybe can also gather a few nice amps.

Can I come too???:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

 

[KennethC]

Kenneth, look at it this way, at least your future amp won't cost more than USD 3000 (unlike guitars)


... then again, who knows, maybe you'd like 2 amps in stereo :mrgreen::mrgreen:

When hit by GAS... you will always have reason why your need more than 1 USD3k amps

Yes yes...as the two of you wld very well know hehehe :mrgreen: drool...

but no la...i only need an amp w a nice clean channel...so I'll just stick w the simple stuff

Dont mind us Kenneth ... we're just troublemakers looking to generate a lil G.A.S.

There are really some good sounding and value for money pedal-friendly tube amps out there ... no need to look too far.

 

[edo83]

sounds like a good idea. must collab when ed's suhr comes in too then we can have a gathering.

Definitely, already planning....just a couple more weeks!

Mind you?? The next time we meet up we'll be sure to grab someone's cab so we can try ur reinhardt head and whatever else u can fit into a taxi!

 

[edo83]

F*CK YEAH!!!!! 1 more week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

enroute to my dealer as we speak!

 

[Plastic]

so, as I figured out, the strat doesn't distort too well, any pickups to recommend for more versatility?

 

[JMguitars]

Edo: your Suhr definitely looks beautiful.

Plactic: are you looking for slightly more aggresive tones but within the single-coil form? Just the bridge pickup or all of them?

 

[Plastic]

Yep, just within the single coil form.

edo edo... why your gitar strat "lak sek" one???? :mrgreen:

 

[edo83]

JM: Thanks.....i have yet to confess to you that the room which stores all your amps and guitars is lagi sexier!

edder: i thought 'lak sek' is the in thing, with all that relic rage and banged up dingo dings look

 

[Gr3y]

tt reminds me of my giodano jeans.. hehe

 

[edo83]

Well, it is a denim slate blue finish. I wouldn't expect anything lesser than what the finish is named after

 

[penta-tonic]

wah suhr has done it again. always comes up with such amazing figured tops. looks like an old super washed and tattered pair of jeans i have.

 

[j_m_s]

My #2 strat.

Neck

Headstock

The small hole there was from a string tree which popped off on stage while i was solo-ing. and then i got another string tree. and then it popped out a few weeks back at home. hahaha

 

[penta-tonic]

think either the holes too big for the screw or the woods too soft. might wanna try adding a lil wood chips into the hole before screwing in. would make a tighter fit and thus wont pop out. nice finish btw. love the look of the guitar.

 

[j_m_s]

thanks. haha. its heavily modified. haha. and only set up by beez. he's been the only one handling this guitar since day 1. had some neck warp issues which he fixed and adjusted the usual stuff for me within like 20 mins?!?!? fast and good.

yeah. woodglue and toothpick. thats the trick.

i did so on my first guitar for the strap pins. haha.

james and his strats....
