Dude. The PGM makes me jealous. >_<
I was saving my dough to buy one (just the vanilla white one), but blew it on a Bogner Duende and that's when my inner gear whore came out.

Hey, could you tell me a bit about your Seymour Duncan Convertible? It looks like a fantastic amp and I found a great deal on one. Thanks.

Sweet Ibanez you just uploaded pics of Derek.

Id hate that because I'd want to play it but I'd be too afraid.

Yep. Petrucci and Gilbert mainly. I've been getting wayyyyy into prog lately. More than I already was. Animals As Leaders, Periphery, and Scale The Summit. I can't wait for BTBAM's new album to come out either.

Nice avatar maynneeeeee

"Remembrance" was a nice little strole through pretty much every popular metal style of the past decade... gives a nice idea of where you're coming from, and i dig, especially right around 1:42 (not the most technical part of the song, i know, but i like... technical is for yengwenies anyways). nice mix too. laters, -G.

how much does a used Vetta I/II go for normally?

I'm contemplating A/Bing a Marshall, like a TSL 60 or JCM800 2205 with my Peavey. Use the Marshall for clean and crunch up to heavy rythym and use just the Peavey's lead channel for lead shit. Whattaya think? I love the Peavey lead, but I gotta have that middy, molten Marshall crunch in there somewhere.

Yeah I've tried a couple Kelly's, there's a couple at the same shop that the 1960 reissue is, next time I go there I'll try it and compare how thin it is to my explorer.

I've heard SG necks are pretty thin too, well if you want to shred than I imagine you absolutely have to have a thin neck. And well Ibanez's are notoriously shred guitars most of the time.

You know anything about Gibson Les Paul Studio/Specials?

A pretty good price used.

MatrixClaw wrote on Sep 6th, 2009 at 4:14pm : Yeah, that LP was built to shred, probably about as thin as my Carvin's neck, not overly flat like an Ibanez, just enough to feel like it has some substantial existence in your hand haha. My Edwards and Washburn have almost identical necks, both of which are pretty much perfect for my hands, but I do enjoy me some thin necks if they're done right

Haha, have you ever tried an ESP or LTD EX series?

Try that and tell me what you think of the neck, I have the 260 and it is pretty dam thin, but I love it.

When the hell did you get a Carvin DC727 Derek?! :

Very nice.

MatrixClaw wrote on Sep 6th, 2009 at 3:54pm : To be honest, I have no idea lol. I just found those specs on the internet. I tried a LP Standard with a 60's neck Friday at GC and that thing was awesome. I'd say my Edwards is a little rounder, but it's definitely not like the boat necks I've seen on some Gibsons.

Thanks man, don't you just love that thin profile?

I like a little roundeness like on my strat, but I also love the way my explorer neck is too, really really thin.

Well thanks for you help man, I'm trying to look up info on 50's vs. 60's necks but I can't really find anything.

MatrixClaw wrote on Sep 6th, 2009 at 2:17pm : Close to a 50's neck: 43mm (1.6875"/1 11/16"), 305mm radius (12")

Do you know the specs for a 50's neck and 60's neck?

Sorry, I just played a 1960 reissue and absolutely loved the neck so I'm looking for a Les Paul with a similar one.
