some older pics of some of my gear…which exceed my playing ability. they look pretty cool though!
The finish on that ESP is absolutely beautiful. How does the neck feel on it?
thanks! yeah, i saw the finish and knew i had to have it. the neck isn’t super thin, but isn’t chunky either. it’s got a glossy finish, which may or may not be your thing. i’m not super picky with necks though, unless it feels like a baseball bat…those are the only ones i really have an issue with.
the matte finish on my ltd m1000 is probably my favorite, along with the profile as well.
Great collection, I’m a big fan of LTD but haven’t had the pleasure of playing an ESP yet. Was that Ibanez your first? I started on one very similar to that from the mid 90s, except mine was red and has a wrap around bridge instead of the tune-o-matic style you have. Thanks for sharing!
i started out with a samick sg copy that i sold to pay for the explorer when i was in college. then i quickly picked up the ibanez because i wanted something cheap to have around in case i thought i had too much to drink but still wanted to play guitar. oh the college days…
and yes, gotta love ltd guitars! great guitars at a great price. i got an ec-256 as well that’s like the purple one’s stunt double…still gets the job done though!
Nice collection, but why 3 double humbucker guitars? Are they all different tunings, or is there something else that differentiates them?
the ibanez is in d standard, the v is in e standard. the purple one has emg het set pickups and the explorer has emg 81/60, both tuned to e flat.
Its 4 HH guitars. I got 3 myself - i love double Humbucker guitars - the 3 i got are definitly very different in sound.
What’s your Marshall amp? I think I have the same one!
jcm900 4100 dual reverb, the one some people like to crap on. it really nails a lot of 80s and 90s tones though, so i love it!
Nice. JCM900 is properly underated.
