Okay so I don't own anything that amazing or flashy but hey I figured I'd make one of these lists to for fun, or for the hope that some rich person will take pity on me and assist in my financial department for the purchase of some truly amazing guitars :) Remember however that I'm only 19 and I don't earn that much so all my gear is pretty much stuff that I lucked into good deals on :) [u]Guitar 1.[/u] My Ibanez RG 6-string - I have no idea exactly what model it is but it has been modded to hell and gone. It's had a fretjob and the bridge has been replaced with an original Lo-Pro Edge model. The Pickups are a Dimarzio PAF Pro in the Neck and a Dimarzio Tone Zone in the Bridge, the single coil is non-existant in the circuitry and was dropped into the body and left for aesthetic reasons, the two humbuckers are wired on a Schaller Mega switch P-model 5-way selector and it has had a Neutrik Jack installed. Odd point of interest I broke my whammy bar so my dad (who works as a quality control manager for Swartklip) had the R&D department at his work remake me one out of Military grade stainless steel :) I'm planning on changing the pickups soon and I want to change the Machineheads to Chrome ones. [u]Guitar 2.[/u] My Cort Neil Zaza Signature - It's versatile as all hell and cuts through a mix beautifully, has a Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck and a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge wired to a three way selector with no tone pot and a coil tap switch :). American Basswood body with a .16mm quilted maple top and ebony fretboard on a 3-piece maple bolt on neck. [u]Guitar 3.[/u] My Ibanez RG1527 - I recently got this seven-string and I have to admit that I'm loving it, never thought I'd go this route when I started but it's really comfortable and I think it kinda suits me :) mine is a Japanese prestige model, new ones are made in Korea :( The only mods I'm planning are a pickup change, a refret and if I can find one I'd like to get an original Lo-Pro edge bridge. [u]GT-10[/u] also a recent aquisition, in my mind it completely rapes the GT-8 and the Line 6 X3 Live. had to sit with it for a while but now I can never see myself parting with it until the next one comes out. Far more responsive and dynamic than the GT-8 and it has USB!!! [u]My Amp[/u] I happen to have an original American made Silver trim flat faced Peavey Bandit 112 with an Eminence Beta driver in it, makes all the new ones sound like poo and is definitly better quality than any of them, perfect for the clean headroom I need to run my GT-10. Sorry for the bad quality images but I don't have access to a decent camera :(...[img][/img]
    Not bad (photography skills aside ?). You may not think it's flashy, but I know people on this forum that would be very proud to have your collection of gear.
      Thank you Alan, I have to admit it suits me and I get the tone I want from it and I don't really think I could ask for more but GAS is an unfortunate side effect of working at a music instrument retail store because you get to try out almost anything you want and sort of grow a spoilt taste when it comes to gear...sigh the folly of my youth ?
        I love your guitars, they look uber sexy and cool! Amp looks like something I'd enjoy jamming on as well!
          nice Stuff dude,

          PS good luck with the pickup for the 7 string pickups... The guy at my local music shop tells me there a bitch to find... If I hear something I'll let you know
            Hahaha I work at a music store so I'm very aware of how hard they are to find...which is why I'm so glad I have friends in Europe who come down twice a year to visit their parents ?...that or Ebay...cause I'll only use Dimarzio ?
              Dimarzio ... even harder to find...you need good contact's!!!!

              There is certian dimarzio I am also intersed in like the yms and the D sonic (think that's the name) the one petrucci uses for his brigde

              But I'll probaly have to get a Seymour Duncans insted... I love SD so its cool!!!!
                the hope that some rich person will take pity on me and assist in my financial department for the purchase of some truly amazing guitars
                mmmmmm.......pity for some reason you wouldn't like a Variax, and are rather particular at this stage of your life. ?

                  Really cool axes Chad...Love the RG1527 the most (I've got a thing for 7s now that i have a RG7620). The pups on mine are th DiMarzio new 7s but you can get tone zones 7s/air norton 7s online and they aren't insanely expensive. Locally, its a bitch to come by.
                  +1 with the Dimarzios. A lot of people also like the Lundgrens and 707s for 7 string guitars. Worth a listen, i suppose.

                  Cheers
