One of my favorites, but he should never have agreed to being back in that band.

This set was designed to sound like the great 59 set everyone loves, but in a special edition with that pays tribute to its origins.

Especially between 84-88. Live recordings at the time prove it.

Jon Lord's best playing (that I saw) was at a Purpendicular show ('96), the first tour with Steve Morse. Steve pushed him a lot, and he played lots of notes that night (at the House of Blues, Orlando).

It was the white ones he used in the last days of Rainbow through the DP reunion shows. I couldn't tell if they were the Majors from where I was. His tone was great, I just think he didn't want to be there and was pissed off most of the night.

I've seen him several times. He did that the first time I way him, in Philly in '87. Too bad Ritchie didn't feel like playing that night- he was off the stage most of the night, and when he stepped back onstage, he'd just stand in front of his amp with one note feeding back most of the time.

I think it depends on the application- if you are in a 2 guitar band or love to layer things on a recording, a huge awesome tone might not work.

Well, awesome then! Win/win!

This is my favorite guitar I own, a 2006 Music Man Silhouette Special. It has a scalloped neck, and Alnico II Pro in the neck, and a CC in the bridge. I used this all day while working on sounds for the round of shows this weekend.

Do all of the other positions work correctly, too?

What are the 5 positions of that switch supposed to be?

Did you buy these directly from the Custom Shop?

Honestly, it is pretty good, despite the name. It is more versatile than the name leads you to believe, and if you need it, the chug is there.

I'd say the Black Winter too. If you need something more cutting, look at the Sentient.

Or, unless the agreement with ESP prevents them from building them outside of that particular model.
