Re: Destroyer Appreciation Thread

LOL.. way too cool ! Here's a shot of the DT-155 I just bought this week!

THe whole thing is nearly ready for gigs... I need a fret leveling and then DONE! Next is the bridge pickup, of course, the historically correct Super Distortion dbl-cream! Oh.. and the pots too, they look too cheap! Probably some cream speed knobs!

I think it would look cool with knurled chrome knobs.

Re: Destroyer Appreciation Thread

I do so like the old eighties destroyer. Although as much as I love the over the top nature of the three pickup Phil Collen model I'd go for a candy apple red one like Adrian Smith used to use, and like I used to own (sob).
Unfortunately they are just far to expensive second hand for what you get these days. Ten years ago you couldn't give the things away, now they go for pretty much what you pay for a new one.
On that subject how did Ibanez make such a rubbish re-issue. I know it's probably better in many ways than the original but the candy apple finish is just bland, and the black pickups and nobs just don't look right.
