Out of curiousity, does anyone know what kind of electric Don Anderson (Agalloch) plays? I have seen pictures, but I can't place it. Pictures are at www.agalloch.org under photos, I can't link the photo page directly. He is the short-haired one.

sean · « **Reply #1351 on:** 23 Feb 2008, 21:28 »

I can't tell you what kind, but I am damn sure that headstock says schecter.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #1352 on:** 23 Feb 2008, 21:54 »

Thanks, I couldn't make it out past the strings. I can probably track it down from there. Not likely to get one of those in the forseeable future, but I love the tones he gets out of it. Though I suppose that also comes from the effects quite a bit.

Ketzer · « **Reply #1353 on:** 23 Feb 2008, 23:25 »

looks to me like one of the old Omen 7s/C-7s

Schecter necks, as I noted earlier, are rather large, especially on the seven-string models.

Lummer · « **Reply #1354 on:** 24 Feb 2008, 04:27 »

I don't find Schecter's 7-string necks to be as big some people say they are, honestly.

They are fatter than Ibanez, but only slightly, IMO.
Still enough to make them too big for my bitch-like little hands though, but that's another story.

That said, the overall quality of Schecter has impressed the fuck out of me!

RipTaterman, that acoustic is -gorgeous-, I don't see any flaws. Only thing I'd do different is give her some inlays.

Alright, I'm jumping in. Behold!

Far right is a Tokai strat, my first electric. I had to replace the fretboard, and didn't feel like adding fret markers. It does have side dots, of course. And I got to bump it up from 21 frets to 22! It's got some Lindy Fralins in it, but I need to replace the cheap-ass tuners, as the B goes flat when I bend it.

I heartily recommend the Sperzels. I just dealt with them directly on a customer service issue and they are wonderful people with a great product.
Plus a set of 6-in-line will only run you about $75 or less.

In other news, or new drummer left his Rickenbacker 620 for me to mess around with.
Yeehaw!

Isn't that thing just a random noise generator?

Also I call shenanigans on Zinky getting sued and stopping production of the Smokey Amps.

They're totally still around and sold at my work.

Ballard · « **Reply #1358 on:** 25 Feb 2008, 08:39 »

What exactly is playable on it?

RipTatermen · « **Reply #1359 on:** 25 Feb 2008, 21:54 »

KJS: Thanks! If you could get your hands on it you'd see some imperfections (I believe the back is supposed to be convex

), but all in all I'm pretty happy. I didn't even know there was such a thing as flame mahogany until I got those sides, but man, it looks cool.

Doombilly: I loves me some Sperzels. The ASAT and the orange one have them. The Tokai has vintage style tuners, though, so I've been considering these, when I have dollars, since the holes'd match. I don't know if they're any good, though.

Ballard: I didn't mean to imply that they were weren't making them, only that they weren't putting them in cigarette packs anymore. But if they still are, I guess you get to whale on me with a broom.

FireAarro · « **Reply #1360 on:** 26 Feb 2008, 01:07 »

They do still put them in cigarette packs.

I am not a guitarist... Though I do have a badass Guitar.

Autographed by BB and was one of the ones he used on his 2003 tour..

But like I said I am a bassist so I guess I should show off what I actually play

My Schecter SB-1 It has a paint flaw so the original buyer didn't want it... Lucky me.

For some reason my brain wrote Custom Shop before because it was 5am and I had been up for over 24 hours. Anyway it is a korean made but I still love the way it plays.

Im not really sure why I said Custom shop...... That was a goof up.. It's a Korean made. Was special ordered to Lanier Music in Mandeville, La. (no longer a schecter liscenced store) but yeah anyway.. I got it cheap because of a paint flaw as you can see in the pic.

Here is another Pic of me playing with my band Pac-man Turner Overdrive.

I do volunteer work with WWOZ New Orleans. It is the only Jazz and Blues Radio station in the city. My father is a DJ there and we got to meet him a few times. He is a really nice guy, glad I have this guitar now.

Huhhblhluuuuh....Only $399.99...That's like, four hundred dollars cheaper than the Gibson model it's based off of (the guitar I want).

Nodaisho · « **Reply #1374 on:** 27 Feb 2008, 19:28 »

The les paul DC? Or something else?

greenMonkey · « **Reply #1375 on:** 27 Feb 2008, 20:12 »

Its the Les Paul DC copy. I really like that one too.

I also love the MOSRITE baritone copy with tremolo.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #1376 on:** 27 Feb 2008, 20:19 »

I really wish I could play one of those things. I have to get Daddy's Junkie Music to order a Gibson Les Paul Faded DC, if there's a used one for sale on their site.

Ugh. Stupid Vermont. Nobody carries Gibson guitars.

That black guitar with what looks like EMG pickups? It looks nice, but the brand is called Eclipse?

It's an ESP Eclipse

You have been warned.

@Spluff:
Yes. Yes they are. The EC-series from ESP are sexy too, I am most recently lusting over the stained black cherry EC-500. Kinda odd that you need to add a battery for the pickups though, didn't know some needed that.

They're active pickups - it's kinda like having a miniature pre-amp in the pickups, because the standard output is too low, which is what you need the batteries for.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #1390 on:** 28 Feb 2008, 23:36 »

Huh. I understood a few words of that. Are they rare batteries, or just a 9volt or something?

Spluff · « **Reply #1391 on:** 28 Feb 2008, 23:43 »

You just pop a 9 volt into the necessary compartment. Mine is round the back of the guitar.

Patrick · « **Reply #1392 on:** 29 Feb 2008, 01:48 »

Poppin' a 9 in a guitar?

Not impressed.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #1393 on:** 29 Feb 2008, 01:50 »

I wouldn't want to risk fucking up the circuitry, otherwise, bullet holes in a guitar could look pretty badass. Just pick one that is already in bad shape.

Now that is exactly the kind of guitar that it shouldn't be done to. Les pauls are too beautiful. Something that looks like Pat's squier, I could see. Especially fitting since that kind is called a bullet, right?

Spluff · « **Reply #1397 on:** 29 Feb 2008, 18:29 »

I've played a few guitars that I would love to put a few bullets in. They had about as much tone as a cat in labor.

Did they have actives? I think the battery compartment ought to hold an M150 well enough.

edit: Oh, and I was wondering: Are the double tone and volume knobs found on a Les Paul/SG really very useful compared to a single volume and tone or a single volume and two tone?
