The 8 String "Leviathan"

When you consider they have jigs and templates for control cavities and pickup cavities, ya have to wonder...

Karl Hungus · 31-12-2004 1:42am

Well, even if it does take that long, I believe it will be well worth it in the end.

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 10:49am

You can't really argue with a one of a kind custom shop instrument, specifically made to your own specifications :cool:

feylya · 31-12-2004 3:49pm

Exactly. So why spend the same amount on a Gibson or PRS?

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 4:36pm

Because you get the Gibsons and PRS for a grand less from you know who

feylya · 31-12-2004 4:39pm

Bleh!!!

You wouldn't believe how low a PRS is on my wanted list. Somewhere between a BC Rich Ironbird and an ulcer.

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 4:41pm

They wouldn't be top of my list either but that's just me. Gimme an Eggle over a PRS any day. Each to their own.

feylya · 31-12-2004 4:42pm

Tell me more about this Eggle

david · 31-12-2004 4:45pm

Eggle's are nice. there was one in FS musical insts a while ago. Tis sold though

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 4:53pm

Eggles are at least as good as PRS but come without the hype. I can personally vouch for this one. One piece Brazilian Mahogany body, mahogany neck, ebony fretboard, sperzel locking tuners, serial number 23 of 48, Eggles rock

Edit-> I had a tour around the factory when they were based in Coventry, they had a room where you could check out loads of their guitars, really nice stuff indeed.

feylya · 31-12-2004 5:22pm

Yeah, looks quite nice. Shame I can't say the same about your carpet

Why do I get an Iommi vibe from that guitar?

John · 31-12-2004 5:23pm

Nice carpet. And the guitar ain't bad either

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 5:24pm

Thanks, as carpets go, I'd give it a '7'!

As for the guitar, well spotted, tis the short lived Tony Iommi model (basicaly a customised Vienna I think) which I've butchered to suit my sinister aims.

feylya · 31-12-2004 5:25pm

Hmm, what a pic of the gear family some day Doc?

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 5:26pm

Eeen Eeeengleeeesh?

John · 31-12-2004 5:27pm

yeah, you should wheel everything into one room and arrange it nice and hire a pro photographer to take a tasteful portrait of your gear. Then hang it on the wall.

feylya · 31-12-2004 5:28pm

You, get all your guitars, amps, effects etc together in a room. Line them up nicely. Take a photograph. Post that photograph on this forum

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 5:31pm

Couldn't be arsed andI don't really have any effects, except for a wah and a tremelo pedal.

feylya · 31-12-2004 5:32pm

Ah, GWAN!!!

You keep appearing with new guitars every week and I want to know what ones you have at the moment.

John · 31-12-2004 5:36pm

Or at least give us a guided tour someday. I'll organise a minibus

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 5:36pm

New guitars? I am old, friend, and like a stationary stone I have gathered a few instruments (moss) over my long and pointless life, not as many as you think though. Every instrument I have is different to the others. I don't see the logic in just accumulating guitars for the sake of it. I inly have two guitars at the moment (discounting the cheap junk I'm going to burn)

I demand pictures and videos of the cheap junk burning!

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 5:39pm

And you will have your pictures, sir. Worry ye not!

feylya · 31-12-2004 5:41pm

Excellent...

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 5:44pm

Been meaning to do it for years. Cull the herd. Tis all shyte anyway. Burn burn burn.

feylya · 31-12-2004 5:45pm

Cull the herd with burning. There's something in me that says that burning any guitar is bad.

Then there's the rest of me that's screaming BURN!!!

John · 31-12-2004 5:50pm

Well, if it's made of wood, it will float, and if it floats it's the same weight as a duck. So it's a witch. BURN IT!

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 5:50pm

Ahhh some guitars shouldn't exist, simple as that. Just re-aligning the universe, balancing things out. To those that don't make the grade, the fires of hell await thee. I don't think we'll need any flame for KH's Stealth though

feylya · 31-12-2004 5:50pm

I don't like the Stealth.

There, I said it.

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 5:55pm

Oh you bitch!

I'm not a fan of the pointy shaped guitars generally, but I do like the Stealth.

feylya · 31-12-2004 5:57pm

I like the Bich actually :P

I think it looks like a dried snot but hey, I'm not getting the guitar!

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 5:59pm

The green one? Don't worry about that. He put up a pic of a black 7 string.

feylya · 31-12-2004 6:00pm

Yeah, I saw it. If it was the pointy head, it'd look better.

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 6:04pm

You need a strong course of real Metal, my friend, none of your Joe Satriani chrome guitar shenanigans, you need some pointed guitars and bands with logos you can't make head nor tail of

feylya · 31-12-2004 6:07pm

Aye, I'll admit my metal is quite weak these days. I think the pointiest guitar I like is an RG. Man, those horns can cut you real bad

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 6:10pm

FFS!

feylya · 31-12-2004 6:10pm

Pointy enough?

Actually, I don't like that either..

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 6:11pm

Looks like good access to the upper register though

feylya · 31-12-2004 6:12pm

Very true that. Of course, you get good access on a flying V. And an explorer surprisingly :eek:

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 8:04pm

See, there are good points! (boom boom)

feylya · 31-12-2004 8:06pm

How can you live with yourself? Really?

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 8:15pm

You get used to it, you never actually enjoy it but you do get used to it.

What was the name of that old Gibson that was like a V but with the top half on backwards? Thunderbolt? Lightningbolt? It's doing my head in.

feylya · 31-12-2004 8:18pm

I haven't the foggiest...

Karl Hungus · 31-12-2004 8:31pm

I'm thinking that I'll wait a little while before I place my order anyway, no matter how I look at it, I just don't want to be hasty when taking something like this into consideration. Know what I mean?

feylya · 31-12-2004 8:32pm

Yes. Yes I do.

Doctor J · 31-12-2004 8:35pm

It's a lot of wedge. If you're unsure then don't go for it. You've really got to be happy that what you are ordering is what you really want.

Karl Hungus · 31-12-2004 8:40pm

No, I'm not unsure at all, but I would like to give it a bit of time. I'm very sure I've the details worked out, and it's going to be exactly what I want, but I really do want to wait a little before I do anything rash or spur of the moment.

Doctor J · 01-01-2005 2:43pm

Ok, a year has passed

mach schnell with the ordering

Both Fey and I are bored waiting for our loans of this guitar

feylya · 01-01-2005 2:59pm

Yes!!!

Yours too Doc!
