New DeMartini Custom Shop Pickup (my new favorite)

Re: New DeMartini Custom Shop Pickup (my new favorite)

Warren's tone always stood out from the crowd in the 80's as well as now. From what I gather he wanted something for the new signature guitar he is coming out with and the CS thing is it.

I am surprised that fender allowed Duncan to sell it as Warren's model though. They are generally Nazi's in regards to even discussing the details let alone actually selling a pickup used in their products. The exception being models that are already production pickups. Maybe they tried that path and Duncan/Warren held their ground causing the delays in the guitar coming out

aceman...why is simple...the new charvel signature model and the rumors of a 2007 ratt reunion with the original members (minus Crosby of course ). plus why not, WD was one of the best players to come out of the 80s as a "guitar hero" and still plays just as well today. he's one of my favorite players and one of the few that i wouldn't be embarrased to support by buying something with his name on it.

Warrens playing always had a good root in blues. It wasnt just wanking like so many of the players of the Hair movement. One of thier last albums had some really good blues.

Again, I love the DeMartini. Lot's of listenable stuff, as shreddy things go. I'm just saying that I'm re-issuing a Tony MacAlpine strat either.

But - hey, I'm not gonna be a HATER. Spent a lot of time playing You're in Love, round and round, Lay it down, Lack of Comm, etc...

Rock on Warren - now, if you want to flame me, flame because Dancing Undecover is my favorite album!

Re: New DeMartini Custom Shop Pickup (my new favorite)

no flame for you...dancing has "slip of the lip" on it which is a KILLER song!

Now that I decide to get my Snakecaster built with the '78 instead of waiting for the WD CS that was discussed a while back...............:cussing:

Mike, we'll go ahead with it with the '78, but I'm ordering a WD today & will swap it out when I get it :headbang:

There are probably about 8 people that have these outside of Warren, Duncan and Charvel. Be patient.

I'm guessing he's ahead of me in line

PuckBoy,I saw that body for sale recently on Ebay if I'm not mistaked,good buy,or if you made it,great job.I am excited about the new WDM RTM pickup,but don't want to alter amy of my guitars,so this will mean a new guitar,how much are the pickups,by the way??
Any body have clips of the new Custom Shop Warren Model?
Are you going to use the famed bell metal bridge block routine,for that authentic Warren vibe:
My Snake guitar is more like a Soloist,it's a great Hamer,with a super cool Diamondback Rattlesnake airbrush graphic,it plays great and I drove 3 states away in the nineties to buy it,always being inspired by WD's original Snakeskin Jackson!!

Keep us posted on your build!!:arms: :banana:

You can learn more about the DeMartini RTM (rattus tonus maximus) pickup here.

Warren used a JB back when....this body I got from a dude on HC, but he sells them on Ebay too. Normally, they're basswood, but I paid a little more for alder.

And yet ANOTHER fine example of a Hamer!!!

I've got it being set-up right now by our very own "Clone-ologist" XSSIVE....I already had a '78 & sent him that with the body....then the WD RTM came out, so I'm gonna play it as a '78 for a bit & then throw in the WD.

The '78 is 10k & the WD is 18.7k......:scared:

I need to start working on my "Lay It Down" chops :bigok:

Oh & what's the "famed bell metal bridge block routine" ???
