What guitar are you playing today?

View attachment 6327265

Went back to the LTD tonight to work on some Exodus and Megadeth. After the mandatory hand/wrist stretches, I decided to do my warmup routine for the first time in a while: three minutes downpicking, three minutes alternate picking, and three minutes hammer-ons and pull-offs (all at 184 bpm on metronome), then some chromatic exercises ending with Darrell Braun's "pinky destroyer" patterns. Definitely helped me play some faster rhythms with less tension and discomfort.
What a killer guitar.
 
I played 2 guitars today. I recently picked up an MXR EVH Phase 90 and put it to the test this afternoon with both my ESP LTD Serpent (in Eb Standard) and my LP Studio (in drop Db). The top on the LP is actually green, but it takes a lot of light to bring out the green. It looks black most of the time.

The Serpent has a Screamin' Demon in the bridge, while the LP has a '59 in the neck and a custom shop trembucker with standard screw/stud bobbins with the PATB-3 wind in the bridge.
