    It's raining NGD's...but these are special..

    Cuz my son's bought them for me...

    Both my boys are into metal. (elder one's hair is halfway down his back) ...not crazy into it like me but more casually.

    He likes modern metal, "progressive" stuff & djent... and the two of us argue about our completely different tastes all the time

    ...while my younger is more into trad metal like me & is especially crazy about King Diamond

    The elder guy (now 20) who's away at university in the UK is home for the holidays so I was showing them both the last couple guitars I bought (FGN & Charvel). They asked where I got them from & yesterday I was presented w/ this one by my younger son...(probably actually bought by my older one though ..cuz he has a couple of part-time jobs in the UK while my younger pretty much just plays video games in his free time )








    It's an alder HSS Strat w/ a rosewood fretboard & FGN's own proprietary pup's. I actually mentioned it to my boys when I showed them my Koa FGN saying I'd seen another I like but honestly did'nt for the life of me expect them to get it for me..cuz they've never done anything remotely like this in the past. (Lol, I must be doing somethng right ;p) ..so yeah I was genuinely surprised & also pretty deeply touched to say the least.

    It's another awesome guitar! Looks fantastic & plays/sounds as good as it looks

    Here it is plugged into my JVM410 (neck single coil)


    ​


    And on top of that my elder dude says he too got me one online "that I'd like" & it's on the way (upcoming NGD!)...so I probably have a hideous djent guitar to look forward to in the near future (just j/k......it's the thought that counts)...


    What can I say...I have awesome kids

        Haha..yeah apparently, beats me what that might be though

        j/k ...we've always been close, especially since their mum died a few years ago. I'm just happy my elder one made it back home for a bit . He's been gone over a year & actually was'nt sure if he'd be able to until this coming April-May. But then he finally got here on Christmas day....

        That's awesome! Also, I just learned what djent is...thank you!
        No problem....now you know you were'nt missing much

          That it is. They said they they had a bit of a time locating it, cuz I'd told them the one I liked had a 'Black Limba' top & the guy's at the store apparenttly did'nt realize that this model (Dark Mocha burst) was Black Limba

              Haha. "Pops, I got some good news and some bad news" huh? Nah, I'm lucky they're both good boys. Nothing like I was like at their age

              Plus I drive a beat up 25 year old Suzuki hatchbback. ('guitar's not car's' kinda guy) Believe me It's 100% safe from them

                Pretty sure this is the exact same guitar (as in, the very same piece) my son got me. The top looks identical & the demo is from the same music store that I first saw it in a few weeks ago. It's also def not the same one I played when I was there.

                But man...what an awesome sounding instrument!

                'course this dude is a way better player then I am

                              And....my elder son's mystery axe arrived today...

                              Gotta say ..I was pleasantly surprised by the aesthetics

                              It had a headstock...

                              ...and a Floyd.

                              Probably not something I'd have reached out for myself, being more 'modern' looking than I go for usually...but then can't say I was'nt expecting that. In fact, he did a perfect job picking it out cuz it has elements to it that we both can dig

                              He knows I'm partial to the brand as well...


                              All in all, I'm ****ing thrilled. Don't know what got into the two of them....but w/e it was, I'm not complaining

                              These are officially my two fave guitars ever
