Attention guitarists: What's your axe? (Bassists too!)

I'm thinking either the solid black or red. I'm not too huge on the silverburst. They go for about $400 at Guitar Center. From the reviews I've read, they say this guitar plays just as well as something twice its price.

Hey, $400 is not bad! Sounds like a great guitar to go with!

I actually thought the silverburst did look kinda sharp, but I'm not a big fan of bursts in general. Personally, I'd go with the metallic red... very metal!
All my guitars are either red or black!

Sorry about that! Here's a link to the Dean site, the one I'm looking into buying is the MAB3:

Very nice looking guitars.

I like that MAB Classic. Yes, it isn't what you would traditionally think is a "metal" color, but it would look awesome under some spotlights during a gig.

Anyone else got any guitars to tell us about?

Here's a shot of my Ibanez.



And my Yamaha. It's in Drop C#.

Ibanez: Yep, looks like the newer version of the one I used to have. But two hums, huh? Very cool! Mine was the single hum version (GSR-100, I think it was).


Drop C#: Don't ya love that sound on acoustic? That's what I was tuned to for the song "Malice" on Unforsaken's "Not Alone" CD.

So has everyone pretty much spoken their piece about their axes now?

Not yet. I'm about to buy a Hamer XT Californian from my guitar teacher. $175

Very cool! I don't know all that much about Hamer, but hey, you can't beat the price!
Post a pic when you get it...

It will look something like this, except with Ibanez/EMG pickups:

Very nice! Looks a lot like the silver Godin "Detour" that I used to have (the red one I still have looks the same, only red, so the above pic looks closer to my silver one).

What do you mean by "except with Ibanez/EMG pickups"? Do you mean EMG's that came out of an Ibanez?

Yep.

OK, I getcha now. I was gonna say, Ibanez doesn't make EMGs!


Did you get the guitar yet?

I didn't get it yet. Probably this weekend though.

Get it YET???

A while back, actually. http://www.christianhardmusic.com/t3906-my-new-guitar

I've got an S101 JHB74 bass, an ESP LTD Viper 100FM guitar, a Hagstrom guitar from the 60's that is not in original condition(not even close), a '68 Fender Palomino acoustic, an early 80's Applause acoustic, and a Yamaha classical that my uncle Curt resurrected. can't post pics-my camera is shot!

Hey, someone else with lots of axes! Cool!
Thanks for joining in on this thread, Joe!

My pleasure! I haven't been around for a while, but I'm trying to remedy that.

I disappeared from this forum for QUITE a while myself, and I have just gotten back in heerr fairly recently. Been trying to pop in as often as possible now.

Me too. I just finished getting the Hagstrom back to playable status, and am in the process of working out the bugs that come with a complete disassembly/reassembly. If we ever get a decent digital camera, I'll post pics.

Ouch! Been a long time since I've been that daring, and it was only with a cheap piece of junk that didn't matter anyway.

Have fun! Let us know how it goes.

Will do! Since it was basically a body, neck and tailpiece, I kinda went nutz-painted it flat black with a satin clearcoat to seal it. Cut a pickguard out of clear acrylic, scuffed the back with 200 grit emery cloth, painted it flat black, but since the front is still glossy, the pickguard is a subtle contrast to the flat black body. It is set up with a humbucker in the bridge position, and sounds amazing!

Hey, that sounds cool - the gloss pickguard on the flat black body! That would have a cool look to it.

What is the humbucker?
