Yeah? I'm pretty curious about those. How are the pickups?


they're not bad - like the humbucker, not really sold on the singles but I prob won't change them. Still gets that tele twang if you want it.

Some of the MIM fenders are hit and miss but this one plays well and has no obvious issues.

:lol: the whole time I was digging that Ibanez, it was like one of those angel and devil on your shoulder conversations of looney toons yore:

"It doesn't have his name anywhere on it! No one will know!"
"But you will know. In the back of your mind, you'll always know."

Here's a pic of 3 guitars tuned to A:
DSC00108 (Large).JPG

30" scale on the left, 27" 7-string in the middle, ~25" on the right. They all have about the same size strings on them with the low A string being around .065ish.

The LP is the easiest to play and has an awesome dark chug to it but it's hard to make it in tune all over the fret board... that works ok for me since I only like the first few frets anyway. The 7 string is hardest to play thanks to its wide neck and too many strings and everything you play on it sounds like Fear Factory, tight and EMG sounding. The EGC is kinda hard to play with its huge frets but it's my favourite sound, very tight and bright.

For sludgey heavy palm mutey and power chordy stuff, I'd probably say the LP is the best choice... it's really easy to play and just has that Crowbar chunky chug all day. It's not a big deal to turn a regular 6 string into a low-machine, at worst you might have to file out the nut a bit for the biggest string. Well at worst worst your tuners won't be big enough for the biggest string but that's rare. The biggest drawback is the flakey tuning but if you get it set up by somebody with some skills it's just fine.

It's a mess in there... you should clean your room. :lol:
Just kidding.

What is the red tele in the back... G&L?

Haha yeah, Syl, Tanya agrees!

The red Tele is an ASAT with p90s and my other ASAT is a Classic Bluesboy with a single coil bridge and humbucker neck... I love G&L ASATs, they're excellent guitars.

Andy, it's just a normal JM, it's from Guitar Mill/Mario Martin.

One of these popped up on my CL recently and I'm so disappointed someone got to it before I did :cry:

I have one of the Eastwood Sidejack standards, love it. replaced the bridge with an overwound Lollar P90 and i'll get an underwound for the neck when i've got cash. Saw it listed on CL several years ago, ended up driving to the old Malekko workplace before they moved northwest. that was was surprising.

It sounds awesome with my bassman or v4b. with a 2x12 and 1x15 it sounds serious
