this is my baby. Nothing special about this guitar...though it did survive two cracks at the headstock near the nech. The Headstock was snapped almost at a 45 degree angle

Joe Hurd was able to fix it twice. why I love this guitar so much? Well it did not dent the pocket book ( only cost me $549), it plays great...came to me that way ( I baught it from Musicians Friend). It sounds good. Lastly it is a Gibson. Not only I have a fondness for The Les Paul Special. I saw Jonathan Cain of Journey using one EXCATLY like mine when they last came to El paso and plaed @ the AC Theater.

Specs? Nothing Special:


490R humbucker at the neck
498T humbucker at the bridge
Mahogany body
1960 slim taper neck
Rosewood 22-fret fingerboard
Chrome hardware

Mine is my PRS Custom 22. I was visiting family in Denver when the other guitarist in Krimson came into town to purchase a Mesa Boogie cab. We met up at Guitar Center PRS to demo and purchase the cab. My buddy grabbed a PRS when the sales person tells him, "This PRS right here is $1000 today only". My eyes lit up, as my buddy declined. Then just as I tried to convince my wife to let me buy it some guy grabbed it and tried it out. I was a little worried but by the time he was done I had convinced the wife and she let me lay down the plastic for it. This guitar was my first high end guitar and the first of my four PRS guitar. I can get a variety of tones with this guitar using the 5 way rotary switch. The nice best thing about this guitar is I know I can always sell it for more than I paid. Custom 22 PRS guitar normally sell for about $1500 in the used market.


Here are some specs:

Mahogany body and neck
Purple Flamed Maple Top
22 Fret Rosewood neck with Birds
Dragon II pickups

Gisbson Les Paul Studio....fits all my needs, very versatile and I got it for 800 bones.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-11/895696/VoodooBody.jpg

Second fave is my Gibson Voodoo SG, light as a feather and hotter pickups than the Paul. 500T in the bridge and 498 in the neck.

I've played both so much the finish on both necks is already wearing off.

[eddies880]

GodSocket.
That is one beautiful LP Dude,IMO it has to be one of the best looking LPs Ive seen in a while.
Congrates.
DO you play it thru a tube or solid state amp?

[eddies880]

This is my Les Paul,I bought it from a guy who had a shop off of Pebble Hills back in the mid 80s,I believe the name of the his store was called MadMax guitars.
I bought it as is with the Floyd Rose and some crappy ass pick ups in it,,I sent it off to Barry and he fixed the terrible job that somebody did on the guitar when they tried to install the tremelo,he also replaced the pick ups with some hot,,maybe too hot Dimarzios.
I wish to this day that I would of been able to find an old Les Paul like this one that hadnt been hacked on,but I got it at a good price 4 bills,but back in those days,I was just dying to get ahold of a Les Paul,and this one just happened to have a tremelo.
The damm thing stays in tune all night,even after some thrashing,its still holds tune.http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x88/eddies880/IMG_0365.jpg

Right now I'm playing a Marshall DSL.....tube of course.

[Ludwig]

I must say, a Les Paul through a Marshall is a classic sound. All meat, slick.

Have always been partial to a strat or tele through a Boogie, but what the hell do I know, I'm a drummer.

Oops, hijack!

Thats exactly why I bought the Marshall. I used to play thru this....

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-11/895696/OldRig.jpg



Peavey XXX, and while it was good for metal, I wanted a more classic sound(I play more of a hard rock style anyway), so I sold it and haven't regretted it one bit. The Peavey also had a really weird mid voicing I didn't like. I like the Marshall mids very much.

[eddies880]

thanks. it plays better than my american standard strat.

now i just need a good tele.Yep,,,I too have always wanted a Tele,,Im still looking,but aint buying,,,too many expendatures in the studio dept.

[rjkildee]

Yep,,,I too have always wanted a Tele,,Im still looking,but aint buying,,,too many expendatures in the studio dept.

i hear you. i just spent about $1000 upgrading wheels, brakes, and suspension on my mountain bike. could have got a nice tele for it, but had to prioritize...

Kieth, you need to but more guitars.

I played w/ Pat Tucker for awhile (2nd cousin to Tanya Tucker). Anyway, at one ime the guy had over 150 guitars...amazing.

[krimson]

I agree with you. So I went out and bought this one last week.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/krimsonguitar/100_1570.jpg

[eddies880]

How does it play?

[krimson]

I like the neck. It has a nice new, unfinished feel. I really like the neck pickup, but the bridge could use a little more bottom end. The jumbo frets feel great. I may just take it out today, although I'm a little worried about taking it out without extra strings or a backup. I don't like to take more than 3 guitars to a gig, so if I take it out and a string breaks I'll be stuck playing the doubleneck for the rest of the night.

[eddies880]

Wench!
Thas a great looking axe you got there,what model is it?

[Sly]

is that a one hander or a two hander?:banana:

[krimson]

So I took out the new Floyd Rose guitar yesterday. I really liked it, the only issue that I had with it was were getting crisp clean sounds. My PRS guitars have 5 way switches that can coil tap so I'm ver accostomed to clean straty tones. I couldn't get a that from this current setup. I think I may install a push pull pot to split the neck so it doesn't sound so fat.

Here is a pick the Robbie (Steelheels) took yesterday.

[Sly]

you are so rock and roll

[krimson]

Bye the way, the guitar stays in tune very well. I actually made a bet with Earl before the gig that it would stay in tune. My reaction was like, I hope it stays in tune because I don't have an tuners. So I went home with an extra dollar last night.

well boy's today is the big day i get to use both my fender supertwins linked together! tryed it the other night in my living room it gave me a stomache ache.gman.

[krimson]

Hey Moe,

Did you ever get your Floyd Rose Guitar?

[eddies880]

well boy's today is the big day i get to use both my fender supertwins linked together! tryed it the other night in my living room it gave me a stomache ache.gman.Thats a hole lot of db level happening there dude!,you probably dont even need to mic up.:yeah:

[eddies880]

Theres nothing like thr "true" tone of a tube amp

[eddies880]

Keith
Is there any way you could find out what the impedance is on your pick ups?
Maybe, a diif set of pick ups?

[Sly]

Get a meter

[krimson]

I don't have a meter. I was gonna try and coil tap the pickups but I don't think I'll really have time to do it. On a side note I went down to Guitar Center and scored some strings for that Floyd Rose Speedloader. They had 12 sets and I bought ten of them for $2.99. That should keep me okay for about year or so.

[Sly]

nice!

[eddies880]

Coil tapping can be a pain if you dont have the manufators wiring schematic.
Way to go on the strings.

[eddies880]

Come on guys! theres gotta be more axes out there!

Lets show those dudes in the drummers den how its done!!!

[krimson]

Okay, Okay. Let me go see what I can buy this weekend, since it is my Birthday this Sunday. El 16 de septiembre Viva Mexico!

Happy birthday!!! Hey I knew you might be a Virgo...kick ass musician and humble at the same time...kind of like me...:halm: ( my bday was sept 11th).

H

[krimson]

Happy belated Birthday.

Did you get any new gear?

[HMorales]

Thanks.

No...right now the $$$ is tight being I am the only one that works. But next year and tax is coming soon...think I might get me a martin acoustic...

H

[Ludwig]

Hey H - you did not show up on the B-Day list, must not have registered your date. Anyway, Happy Birthday a bit late...you too, Kieth.

[krimson]

Thanks Ron. Hey H. Make sure you check out some Taylors as well, I checked both out and decided to go with the Taylor.

[eddies880]

My sisters b.d is the 16th! wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy bd guys

[HMorales]

Hey H - you did not show up on the B-Day list, must not have registered your date. Anyway, Happy Birthday a bit late...you too, Kieth.


Hmmmm, I guess I overlooked that while registering.

Hey Keith...tried the Taylors and love them...but they are out of my cash range for now. The Martin low lines are in my grasp...plus I like the cut away. The martin I want has one of those Fishman PU's you guys were talking about...

H

[eddies880]

Listen to the voices in your head H,,,,,,saying,,,,,,,,,buy it H,,,,buy it H.

Fishmans IMO are the best piezo pick ups and the best preamp systems for acoustics.

buy it H ----I double dog dare you.

[krimson]

They actually have a new series that came out. The 100 series. I think they just released the 110CE which is a has a cutaway and electronics.

[miguel]

Keith, you are an equipment freak! I don't know how you do it!

[eddies880]

Im in the same shoes as Keith Mig,theres always something new and better just around the corner.

[krimson]

This is how you do it. You buy this mixer for $30 and then flip it on Ebay for $151.

Here's one of Rich's and my favorite axes. The one I use is borrowed, and I love playing this bass. It's a five-string bass I use with a four-string tuning and I tune the top string to an A.http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90/miguelc1/RichandMiguelepcc.jpg

[HMorales]

Like that SG :halm: .

H

[eddies880]

That SG has that classic SG tone to it,he used that axe at the last jamm session... the gent can jamm on it too. Werent you playing that 5 string at the last jamm session Mig?

H

[HMorales]

Guess not...saw on your myspace his name is rich...but he does look like my guitar teacher.....

[eddies880]

I used this guitar extensively at Muggs this weekend and I have to tell you guys,it sounds nice,big and fat,,,dont let that Squire logo fool you.
Joe Hurd set it up for me and it sounds awesum!
Those Duncan buckers really do it right,it drives a tube amp like a Les Paul-----hard to believe---but it does.

too bad its up around his nipples.

too bad its up around his nipples.It may be up to his nipples,but Rich plays with alot of balls.-----hmmm----that didnt come out right.:LolLolLolLol:

[miguel]

Rich does have a lot of "huevos" when he plays, and yes that is the bass I was using. It's heavy and the strings are very thick, but it is borrowed so I am going to use a different bass. Don't know if it will sound good on the Robin Trower song.

[rjkildee]

I'm not trying to knock the guy's playing since i've never heard him. it just looks funny.

One thing I like about the Gibson SG and the Flying V,,is that there all neck,you can play at the 22nd with ease.

[eddies880]

That pic was taken at PLayers,was it not?

[HMorales]

yes. That was back in 2005...the 2nd to last show I did with Bruja. It was are old bassist Larry jenkins last show.

[rjkildee]

I like it at the waist, sometimes a little below. depending on my level of 'rock star' for the night.

makes for a much weaker neck joint than an LP though.

Like my SG, but it is light as ****. I need to put some beefy PU's in it to...it just doesn't snarl as much as my Les Pauls do...

[eddies880]

I should of bought me that Tele when I had the cash and the chance,but instead,bought another Manely compressor.

Here's my baby... Geronimo rode her hard the last few years but she's still hot...

http://coxsound.com/images/guitar.jpg

Seven-way switching, Duncan hotrail in the bridge, locking tuners, strap locks, light as a feather, and sustains fer days.
http://coxsound.com/images/headstock.jpg
Custom made to my specs. Notice the genuine Geronimo Black cigarette butt still stuck in her headstock.

Yeah, she's easy but I wouldn't trade her for anything.

[KeyPlayer]

Of course, he has a guitar of his own now, so he doesn't need her any more.

Wait a minute. I think I just figured something out...

:banana::banana::banana::banana:

Ahhh. All is clear now.

(Just kidding, Mo...)

[eddies880]

Nice axe Mike.\
What kinda tone do you get out of the Duncan hot rail?
Is it bright high end--bright midrange---a little beefy in the low end?

[KeyPlayer]

Eddie, I'm not much of a guitarist, I don't have the vocabulary to answer! It's just nice and crunchy. Gets a real nice distortion that is good for lots of styles.

I'm looking forward to getting re-aquainted with her. Thinking about getting a Blues Jr. or something - I don't even have an amp right now, I've been playing it through a modeling pedal.

Geronimo? Are you lurking out there? Describe the tone for Eddie.

[krimson]

Blues Jr. are great amps. They sound great and they are very mobile.

They sound nice and round,not too thin

[KeyPlayer]

If we're talking Favorite Axe Pictures, this has to be my very favorite.

Here's one of the last pictures I have of my father, holding my guitar when it was new. He could barely hold it and he couldn't press the strings hard enough to play a chord any more, but he was determined to try.
http://coxsound.com/images/dadguitar.jpg

Another reason I'd never let go of it.

[eddies880]

A picture is worth 1000 words.

This is my nine-year-old's band. They only do originals and they are very serious about it. My daughter is the one on keyboard and she is the songwriter, too.

[krimson]

Amazingly my son walked into my rehearsal room the other day while I was practicing and wanted to play my guitar. My son hasn't really taken any interest in playing up to this point so, I immediately took advantage of the moment and let him strap on one of my guitars.

Here's a video (not sure if this works on the forum)

Thank heavens they had time to make a CD. I've got copies for anyone who wants one. You'll be amazed.

I'll stick a few in my car so I'll have one handy if anyone crosses paths with me.

[eddies880]

I think big Mike has got to be one lucky dude right now,,he has his son playing in his band,,or is it,,,shays bands,,,,hmmmm

[eddies880]

I was hoping my son would follow my footsteps,but no go,,,he is gonna be 26 soon,and has never shown any sign of playing music like the old man,,,,oh well,,,,i will gave him onwe thing,,he has a good taste for music he listens to,,,

[Ludwig]

wow...I have not been keeping up with this thread, being an outsider as a drummer. Some very cool pics there, Miguel's daughter's band, and that video of Keiths son is waaaaaaaaaaaay cool. It reminds me of a tune I recorded w/ Ryan way back when. I had recorded a guitar riff and had him write and sing his own lyrics to it. It's hilarious.

[KeyPlayer]

[eddies880]

Does he know you put his pic on the web,,,you know he is wanted,,,dont you? Ha
Tell him I said hellow.

[KeyPlayer]

Is that anything like "hello"? LOL, time to quit ragging each other about our spelling.

Yes, he was standing right here when I did it.

That Chapman Stick looks sooooo cool. Sounds fantastic too.

[eddies880]

Dammit,,,you got me again!

It has 10 strings a?
I bet its endless as to what you can do with it.

[KeyPlayer]

Yes, some even have 12.

For those who've never seen one before, A Chapman Stick is a "tapping" instrument; you play notes my "hammering", and you do it with both hands. Tones range from bass to high guitar, so a skilled Stick player can cover both bass and guitar ranges. Very very cool.

Mike, I couldn't see the picture above http://www.stick.com/method

[KeyPlayer]

A result of me changing hosting companies. Sorry, forgot about that!

[eddies880]

THat kicks ass,,,does Robert play it freguently?

[KeyPlayer]

He's been laying off it because it doesn't exactly fit in with the bands he's been in the last few years, but this band is definitely the right band for it.

Guitarists HATE Stick players! Long story...

Mike, I couldn't see the picture above http://www.stick.com/methodNOTHING WILL EVER REPLACE A GOOD TRUSTY SIX STRING I DIDN'T LIKE HOW IT SOUNDED IT SOUNDED LIKE SOME KIND OF VIDEO GAME SONG HE WAS PLAYING RIDICULOUS

[KeyPlayer]

Thanks for the input. Hope you play better than you type.

[eddies880]

Oh Well

[KeyPlayer]

Oh well indeed. I guess you have to appreciate the honesty of someone who lets you know right up front that they don't mind insulting you.

Why I keep running into that type is beyond me. And they all play guitar, and usually badly. Like I said, guitarists hate Stick players. It's an ego thing.

By the way Wench, most forums have an "ignore user" feature. Does this one?

I don't think this is meant to replace a guitar; it's just another way to play strings, and play it kinda the way you play a piano.

[eddies880]

is that the axe that you were looking at when I ran into you at GS?

[krimson]

Jav, they won't stop responding until Keith stops buying geetars,lol....which will be when hell freezes over...right Keith?:LolLolLolLol:

[seahorse450]

hahah I liked that Taylor tell him to give it to me!!!

[krimson]

You have no idea how long I wanted a Taylor for. Everytime I would go out of town I would stop by a guitar center and make my wife listen to how nice every Taylor sounded compared to every other brand. I finally sold a Washburn N4 to get the Taylor, so I am covered when it comes to acoustics, although I would like a nice classical guitar. Those Cordoba's sure are nice.

[eddies880]

I own a Taylor Big Baby,,plays easy,sounds full for the size,but I have issues with the wood,damm neck is always moving on me,(normal for climate change)I need a nice roomwith a humdifier.
ParkWoods are really nice guitar also

[Stovall Vasquez]

Oh yeah i missed that taylor i love those guitars nice full sound beautiful
