The GAS thread

Doctor J

No, you need to get your cheese sensors re-calibrated

Quattroste

Wouldn't like to be one of those small birds flying down the fretboard

On the Tokai v's the Edwards. If it is an EX85 then it could well be MIJ. The MIK ones are available for £299. I am a Tokai fan but of those two Explorers I'd go for the Edwards.

Karl Hungus

I absolutely love the Dragon by the way, but then again, I am partial to the big of cheese, metaphorically speaking.

Don1

I finally figured it out: The dragon guitar looks like some bastid came along and did a bit of a graffiti job on what would have been a very nice PRS!!! God damn hippies!!
But if you are going to be ridiculous there's always this beaut!!! :rolleyes:

I've always wanted one of the Darth Vader ones!

Brilliant, wouldnt like to be one either myself.

Yup its big and cheesy but beutifull all the same, its got fossilised mastadon ivory, FOSSILISED MASTADON IVORY, plus i bet all the knobs go up to 11

gizmo

Wouldn't turn this one down either...

...and yes, I am a little bit obsessed with that particular model.

Yakult

^Love that model myself! Especially the colour!! :D

Fender Japan '57.....can anyone confirm that \60480 is actually around €360-€365. If that's the case, then, plus tax and shipping, it comes out at under €600.

Gave in and ordered it. Works out at €441 + The Tax, so should come in at about €550 odd fully done.

Deffo thinking about the Edwards as well, if this goes ok.

Doctor J

Nice one. The 57 two tone burst is a thing of beauty. You need to get a mint coluored scratchplate for it though

Creamy Goodness

yeh you need to mint it. the two colours shouldn't match but strangely they do.

Doctor J

For the first time in a while, some GAS from chrisguitars

they so dont.

and dont use the cornetto analogy again!

mint and cream might work nicely tho and no i'm not talking about ice cream here.

feylya

Na, they do work. Really well.

judas101

mint and brown reminds me of bad 1960's decor.

You're 1960's decor

It works like a mint cornetto, that's proof enough. You are wrong, HB says so, just get over it

Ehh... there's a black one on chrisguitars right now

Niall0

i meant price wise not availability wise, they usually cost around two grand . My post kinda came across like i was lookin for a rare vintage guitar kinda...
I just really like that guitar
another pic!

Doctor J

Well, with the strength of the euro against the dollar at the moment, that black one should cost just about a grand all in, rather than two grand. Part of the fun is taking advantage of a great deal when one pops up

gizmo

Micheal Amott's signature ESP Ninja


Alexi Laiho's signature Sythe. I defintely prefer the original Japanese model with the chrome hardware and unfilled black arrow decal.

I really like the black Gibson Les Paul Custom with the chrome pickguard that Tony Rombola from Godsmack uses, can't find a pic right now though.

NeMiSiS

That black Jackson V is sweet. It's the only type of pointy death guitar I could ever think of getting. Well that or a Gibbo one. There will only ever be one pointy death guitar, the V, end of!

That reminds me....Caparison

Caparison

I was sure there was one of those on adverts a while back, in a nicer colour too.
http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=22222&cat=all
Quick check say it's sold, never saw it go.

Overcome by GAS lately for this one myself,


Expecting to see it by next week.:)

That's mine. Its semi-on-hold for a fella from MetalIreland.com, got bored of bumping the ad here so I just closed it.

Caparison are incredible guitars - there's no production line, every instrument is effectively a 'custom shop' guitar (ie handmade), and the quality is unreal. The neck especially - its gorgeous unsealed maple and compound radius front & back - best neck on any guitar ive played, period. I just prefer the familiarity & layout of my J-Customs, been playing RGs so long anything else feels worse in comparison.

Kenny_D

I'm giving into my GAS and ordering an Edwards les paul. My GAS also led me to recently acquire an expensive McIlroy guitar. That GAS had been present for about 3 years I think but unfortunately the money wasnt

feylya

More Edwards LP gas:

I love this one:

Go on, if we're just throwing up pics of random guitars we'd love to own, I may as well fire up some Ibanez porn:

Jem10th, passed up on one of these when funds were short, prices are gone too high now, i'll never bag one


Petrucci 90th anniversary. Nice but too pricey as well


Random J-Custom in a nice colour

bombidol

Middle one is real nice. I have a bog standard RG270 at home and I dont trust the horn stud for the strap. Dunno why. They look flimsy to me.

It wasn't me!

The purple JC is doing bad things to me... Oh dear... how much?

Holy crap! If that was a 7 string, I'd do awful things to get it.

Don1

Every time I think I have my mind made up on what I want/don't need somebody posts something like that JC. Jeebus H Christy-bob!

Adverts.ie - for sale - one soul - offers........

Karl Hungus

I can attest that J Customs are beyond fantastic... If you think that baby there looks good, you should hear how incredible it sounds and plays. Astonishing doesn't come close to describing it.

More pics of the purple one. God damn that's one sexy J-Custom

Don1

Alas me being a penniless student and the fact that I probably won't even get a job when I finish means that my trusty RGT-42 may do!! I know it's a GAS thread and all but this is torture!

Nice guitar but personally I think the inlay is horrible. Takes the whole look away from the guitar. No inlay work would look a lot nicer on that particular guitar IMO

Just as well you're not a guitar designer then, or the Strat would have never got past the proto stage I don't know a strat or strat style that doesnt put the stud at the tip of the horn (though im sure there are a few), it's a tried and tested design.

Where would you have them put it, the headstock?

Quattroste

My GAS is for Sugi.

Search for Sugi on he Digimart site. Expensive but someday I will have one.

Doctor J

I would actually say they are too figured, in my humble opinion. I feel kinda seasick after looking at the depth of that quilted one

Quattroste

I'm not a massive fan of the quilted guitars either and I would most likely go for the spalted maple or similar. There are 6 pages of Sugi guitars and I couldn't be arsed to go through them all (again ) to find the really nice ones.

Not just just the horn as such, just the horn on Ibanez's cause they are so sharp. I mean the horn on a strat is much thicker and rounded etc

It's just an optical illusion - the button isnt attached to the tip of the horn, it's held by a screw that runs right into the wood. The shape of the surrounding wood or the sharpness of the horn is irrelevant.

You don't need to understand why it works, suffice to say it does - even the RG/Jem shape is a 20 year old design. Tried and tested

Yakult

bit more of gas!!

Killaqueen!!!

I want this!!!



I've never even tried gold lace sensors. Anyone know if they're good?!!
