You're welcome
. The one I saw didn't go for too much, $300-400 maybe.
Yeah, they seem that way; I guess they're ok for wobbles rather than Eddieisms. There was the Hard Rocker Pro as well, which had lockable saddles, but only appeared on the higher end axes, like the RS1000.
The Pro Rock'r is a b!tch - broke one of the T-nuts which holds intonation and saddle lockdown screws and it cost a pretty penny to get one. Lesson: don't intonate a Pro Rock'r under string tension!
Yeah, a magenta burst would be sweet. I think I saw a picture of one once. I am something of an Ibanez fanatic, but I'm not sure how much $$$ I'd pay just to get a third finish. But thanks for putting the GAS in my head...
The trem on these isn't too bad. It's a bit big and klunky looking, but comfortable to play, and I've had no problems with either of them. Just don't lose your whammy bar or you'll pay through the nose for another.

This guitar started it's life as a Dean Jammer III. It originally had a humbucker and 2 single coils. The neck is original. One of very few Deans that I've seen with the Jackson-ish style headstock. It's now loaded with an old Seymour Duncan Custom (wound by MJ). I put the chrome cover on it. The tone control is also a push/pull pot. It sounds awesome. This was actually my first guitar. I've had it over 20 years.

I love all single humbucker bridge guitars. My love was probably born from the Jackson RR24 and the ESP Alexi signatures.
it used to have a full pickguard, two single coils, and two tones. I took out the single coils and the tones. the pickguard recently shattered. So i trimmed it down.

Re: who here just loves their single bridge pickup guitars?
thanks. that's the francis rossi finish on the esquire [clearcoat over copper napthenate wood preservative]. and yes, that is a cantrell signature rampage, but it is an older m.i.c. tribute, from before production moved to indonesia. outstanding guitar, though. no way the u.s.a. model is worth 1400 bucks more when they make an import that good.

Now this is cool; nice to see other colours used for this concept.
Ash body?

Re: who here just loves their single bridge pickup guitars?
That's a great example of a stripped-down axe with very little there but every single part is just awesome and makes for a better guitar overall. Nice Axe! I'd love to build one like that someday with a mahogany body and a natural finish.
I've barely played any of my other guitars since finishing this one.
Currently got an EVH Frankenstein pickup, sounds fantastic. The Titanium saddles, brass baseplate and titanium sustain block make this guitar sound so killer. Amazing articulation and tone,

Re: who here just loves their single bridge pickup guitars?
I love switching pickups in the middle of solos. I think I started doing that a lot after I got into Eric Johnson's playing. He does that all the time.
I also rarely use a straight-up bridge pickup for clean tones. If there's even a smidge of dirt in my tone, though, I will. But I use the neck or both pickups, or even a split bridge, for cleany-cleans.
