Re: Who has the craziest guitar here?
Nah. Its a custom model of a Japanese guitarist who was like god in the 80s before he died. He was a shroomer so all of his gear was colorful and bright and "deep" lol. I had to have it when it came out not really because I liked the guitarist but because it looked so awesome. But then again Im about to buy a black ESP here real soon and Im gonna try to do a paint job kinda like it. I just hope I can remember everything from art class =)

I love those Custom order ESPs with the anime characters as the graphics. I've also seen one with all the characters from The Simpsons as the graphics.

Re: Who has the craziest guitar here?
......well, I'll take a stab at this one.....All of my guitars are either '81 to '84 Ibanez DestroyerII's or my '89 Explorer and although they may not be the wildest looking ones.....all of them share a unique aspect to them.....To the best of my knowledge, I am the only person who actually uses a custom made footswitch to actually switch pickups (including coil-taps) in my guitar...
..let me explain.... since the band I play in has a rather large library of tunes we play...my selection of tones is large but pretty simple....clean/OD, chorus, reverb, volume boosts and the many differing degrees of tones from two SD SH-6's....and a Marshall 2210...(slightly modified..).although this may not seem like a lot.....Some of the tunes we play require a little more "toe-dancing" than I can really pull off....
switching PU's/coil taps (which I use extensively), chorus, reverb, channel's and volume boost are a feat in and of itself with conventional footswitches...
So I perfected a way to switch any and all parameters (limitless) in any configuration needed with one switch to simultaneously switch tones....
My guitars have two relays mounted in the control cavity, a 5V and a 12v relay...using a stereo TRS cable from my guitar to the amp, I can switch between the two most common setups I use (Full HB neck & tapped bridge and full HB bridge....bypasses the volume control completely!), this way I can go from a rolled off OD tone to blistering solos and right back to where I was just by hitting one switch... and I never have to stop playing at all...
(edit)..sorta forgot that the guitar controls function as always unless one of the relays is activated....if you just plug a regular cable in, it's the same as from the factory..............makes slightly more sense
I'm pretty "old school" and don't use modeller's or MIDI...just my own solution for performing better!

...allright, no making fun of the "old guy"...... :blackeye:

Re: Who has the craziest guitar here?
I'm seriously jealous of you, you have identical taste that I do. That copper Les paul is way kickass. And I was about to hot rod up a strat the same way you did. Also, I've been looking around for one of those C-1 XXX's. Nice guitars man.
XSSIVE said:It's not that crazy but for a strat i guess some would think it's a bit wild...i dunno...but it is my favorite looking guitar of all mine since i decked it out hot rod style and i'm a motorhead at heart (still not done with it though)!!
while the rest of my schecter is classic black the inlays are wild...

Re: Who has the craziest guitar here?
Man that was fun......there are some seriiously crazy guitars as well as some cool ones.... I like the yellow hotrodded strat, XSSIVE!!
One of my better friends at Atlanta's Institute of Music is playing through a XXX... We usually pick on him in some of our theory classes though... instead of saying the 12th fret, we say "spread eagle" and other positions corresponding with his in"lays"!!!!

Re: Who has the craziest guitar here?
thanks for the kind words guys!! that yellow strat is my "hot rod" strat hence the moon eyes, diamond plate and (not seen) small rat fink on the headstock hehe...i may change that over to a fender engine turned pickguard since that is often seen on the firewalls and gauge cluster areas of hotrods (not sure yet).
wattage...you have some sweet guitars man, that tele is amazing, i love the pinstripe work!!
Xeromus thanks man!! all my guitars for the most part are modded (just like my cars hehe) i didn't post the others b/c they aren't as wild.
