Haha, dig the body and inlays, -headstock brings the giggles for me. Specifically how a pointy headstock from 2 angles meeting wasn't enough, and they added another angle as if the guitar was sharpened on a lathe.

Seems like a winner for 600.00

That headstock reminds me of what Warmoth started doing on some of theirs.

These are great guitars, and had it been 22 frets, I'd consider it. It was his signature in the late 90s, and man, he made it sound great. His newer one, with Washburn, is also a great guitar.

No likely the weak a*s neck pickup tones on a 24 fret eh?

I'll take 24 frets over a perfectly placed neck pickup every time... nice bridge too! But this shade of red would make me look puffy.

Blech. It always sounds like it needs a transfusion.

So there isn't ONE Duncan Pickup, true single, stacked, blades, whatever, that could make it work?

I played a Charvel with a Full Shred in the neck, and it was OK. Still not the sound I like but I didn't immediately hate it. If a guitar was given to me with 24 frets, I could make it work, but given the choice I'd absolutely stick to 22.

Just say it Dave - Trevor Rabin sucks and you have no respect for him. LOL

You know, when 80s guitarists are discussed, he really should come up more. He could sing, write, produce, and play.

Indeed - I really need to add him to the top of the "under-rated" guitar player list. Loved all his stuff. Total Yes revitalization.

If the pickup isn't sensing the right part of the strings, it will never sound quite right.

 

[eclecticsynergy]

What, no MIDI pickup? Seems like a cool guitar though.

 

[Mincer]

You know, Trevor never used synth guitar back in the day, since he is also a fantastic pianist. Anyways, here's some awesome Trevor playing....

 

[GuitarStv]

I like his slide guitar stuff!

 

[jeremy]

snazzy pants too!

All that video did was say "Bob - you suck" in half a dozen styles....
