He had a black ones with Kahler's as well. :cool:

That's a really cool LP! :cool:

Happy NGD, very nice. That would make a really nice Robbin Crosby tribute guitar. Would like to make one myself someday.

I'd definitely rock out the Flamed one for sure. Looks a lot like C.C.'s flamed San Dimas. Looks pretty damn cool to me. :cool:

I have an 08 Damien Special FR I bought new back in 08. It's a great playing, great sounding and solid built guitar. Switched out the pups from the stock HZ's (H4-H4A) with a set of GFS VEH's back around 2010. More recently I removed the neck pup, 3 way toggle and the tone pot and added a mini...

I've thought about turning my Epi LP Standard Ebony into a Vivian Campbell style tribute w/x2n's or GFS Power Rails and some brass knobs. I would keep it glossy though. I already tried pulling the poker chip and pickguard to get an idea if I'd like it, and I would. :cool:

Just use some bubble gum like MacGyver would use to stick them on. Probably Wrigley's Spearmint/Doublemint would be best. Maybe wedge some uncoated metal paperclips between the baseplate and covers for a snug secured fit. That should take of any grounding issues and any possible vibrations as well.

Sweet, HNHD!! :cool:

My 20' Epi LP Standard 60's is another very 80's rocker. I grew up on MTV and so many great players were slinging them. So when I think 80's guitars, an LP is one that jumps out at the top of my list. :cool:

My most 80's is my Gary Kramer Custom. ​​​​​​​

The ProBuckers in my 20' Epi Standard 60's sounds great IMHO, especially after removing the covers. There was basically no wax in them besides a paper thin layer on top of the bobbins to isolate the cover. 90% of that came off with the cover. I'm sure they were potted but absolutely no excess...

The Rocktek's were all plastic as well, at least the series like pictured was. And, it says a lot when the Ibanez Classic Metal Soundtank was a big improvement (since people seem to hate on it anyways). I had the Soundtank for about 6 years before someone stole it from me. Durability was never...

My 1st distortion pedal was the Rocktek Distortion DIR-01 (exactly like the one pictured). Think I payed $20 new for it. That thing was awful, Just a thin tin can Buzzsaw distortion. I kept it for like 25 years or so because I felt like I needed to keep it away from the rest of the world. I...

I just recently bought a brand new RAT2 for $59 at Musicians Friend as well. :cool: I would love to have some of those RAT picks though that came with this package.
