Stop making me want to spend money I don't have on a BW Rails, dammit!

Black Winter bridge. None more black. 🤘

TBH, I've given up on any Youtube guitar demos, because 95% of the time, all I'm hearing is a. how good the guitarist is and b. their amp + Youtube's crappy audio compression. A good demo can get me hyped about a guitar, but that's about it. If I buy a guitar, I am buying for ergonomics...

I just can't with those gigantic headstocks. I'm sure they're great guitars but the look is not my vibe at all.

In that era, yeah. At least Mustaine did. I don't recall offhand what Marty was using during the RIP sessions.

Went with the Schecter Omen Extreme S-ii tonight (Nazgul/Sentient) to work on the intro to a Judas Priest song.

Yeah, I'm not quite understanding why they wouldn't work, unless it's a trembucker vs. regular bucker issue?

Marty will always be my favourite Megadeth guitarist, which is saying something because that band has always had top-quality lead guitarists the whole way, from Chris Poland and Jeff Young in the pre-Marty era through to Kiko Loureiro and Teemu (cannot remember how to spell his last name lol)...

Damn, man, that's a killer finish.

What about a Sentient?

But it splits so well! :D As for the Naz, I wonder how they got away with the name without paying the Tolkien estate for its use. Or maybe they did?

I'm torn a bit. From the metal standpoint, it's a great name, particularly suited to the Lvciferion crowd. But yeah, it in no way conveys how versatile the pickup actually is. You can use it for all kinds of non-metal applications quite handily.

Oh yeah, I mean, he's been back since Formation, so he's obviously played his share of Low or Gathering songs live since he rejoined.

Skolnick actually wasn't in the band for Low, but I get what you mean. :)

I haven't tried them but I'm curious too! They've obviously gotta be hot and tight enough to handle Testament.
