Roger that Mike, well except for the part about it one day being yours. I will however note without further comment that I still have the other one and know where you could get it refinned just like the one you want. :D

Wait what is the guitar?
 
Re: Show me your favorite guitar(you own)!

Here it is. Assembled from cast away parts scored on E-Bay (some kind of very light basswood or poplar body with a Fender style neck pocket and a Fender "medallion" factory replacement neck), my Hybrid '59/Custom, a vintage non-fine tuner Floyd and some lovin' from Dino of Dino's guitars. This guitar SMOKES and has one of the most comfortable, shredable neck I have ever touched. This thing just sings, and nails the crap out of early Van Halen. This is when it was "pristine" and had just been assembled by Dino. The neck is now dirty as hell and has the obligatory cigarette burns on the HS. :lol:

I love inexpensive guitars, I have about $400 in this one and I would put it up against any other EVH style guitar.

How do you tune that EVH guitar after you've tightened the nut?

Aside from the Wave Supreme I ordered a few weeks ago and won't be seeing for at least six month I have my dream rig. I'm one of the few lucky ones to be able to say that. So here they are once again...

you undo the lock nut and tune via the tuners.....that's old school floyd style for ya LOL. a bit of a PITA until the strings stretch in. just keep the allen key for the lock nut near by or mounted on the back of the headstock and you're good to go in only a few seconds more than a normal strat.

slade...you and your silly desire for switches and multiple pickups and tone knobs and this and that. one day you'll realize all you need to get good tone is the right guitar with the right bridge hum and a volume knob!!

How did I know Brad would be along here showing off a GMP? :fart:

Brad, I'll be moving to Chicago in about a year and a half. If you end up there because of work, then we'll have to get together. You can learn why I love my Hamers so much and I can get my greasy fingers on a GMP or two. :sword: :laugh2:

I'm so predictable. :fing25:

A year and a half? I'll probably make it to Chicago by then but I've got to admit that after spending the last decade drifting through the more populous areas of the west I'm having more fun than I imagined possible back on the ranch. :smokin:

I love 'em too. Don't tell anyone but, they're all disconnected. They don't do anything on my guitar but provice decoration. Shhhhh it's our little secret.

Odd, when I had my floyd, tightning the nut screw would always send it way out of tune.

Nope, it stays pretty much in tune when the strings are broken in. I guess a combination of a quality Floyd and a really good setup makes all of the difference.

The twisting of the locknut causes tuning problems all in itself, outside of the Floyd and guitar setup.

Having played Floyd equipped axes for MANY years that guitar would be a nightmare IMO...
 
Re: Show me your favorite guitar(you own)!

just an FYI...if you own a guitar with a floyd and your guitar goes either flat or sharp when you tighten the lock nut that's caused by the string retainer bar behind the nut being set at the wrong height. play with the height of it while you lock and unlock the nut and you will find that when you nail the right height the tuning stays nearly dead on where you left it before you locked the nut.



Brad...man that thing makes me drool every time i see it. you seriously need to sell it to the guy who can't land a gmp to save his life....ME lol. spread the gmp love :D

Fitted with a CC + Jazz. Doesn't get out much these days since it had to have the headstock re-fitted, but still the one that gets a space in the box with me when the time comes...

I love those MSG's, I always wanted a Deluxe with the locking trem. I see Martyn Booth is making guitars under his own name these days.
