OT: Guitar Talk

haha, wrong thread, thought I was in the"music mood" thread.



Actually that was from 2009. Fucking love ASTRA, they have the 70's sound nailed.

Yeah, I figured it was recent since I'd never heard of it/them before.

this year I am going to be on the hunt for another combo amp that will create a good stereo sound with my Blackstar HT-60. I really dig the tone of my amp, I may even get the same amp. Run one on the "American" settings, get an ABY box, and set the other amp to "British" settings. I hear it really makes for amazing tone.

More of a full sound as well. I only need two more pedals to really complete my sound.

You fuckers just wait till like Spring time. I'll post my rig then.

I'm really hoping to have some stuff with the new band recorded by early October. Our first jam sesh is this Saturday. Right now it is just me, my buddy Kev on guitar and this dude I haven't even met yet on drums. It's going to be a mish mash of funk, jazz, blues and rock. Should be interesting.

Puck, what's your favorite guitar you've physically played? Just make/model...

I've always been a strat man... And I will never get rid of mine. Too much sentimental value in that bad boy. But I just recently jammed on a Les Paul, holy fuck that neck.

my 2001 Tokai LoveRocks Ltd Edition.
it's a Les Paul knock off, made by the Japanese basically to show a new Korean factory how good they can make them.
fucking gorgeous, beauty neck, plays like a dream, has the LP crunch when you dig in.

Doesn't cooperate with my work PC< but I will check out when I get home. Looks purrty in the first pic.

Japanese gear is pretty much the high standard of the music industry these days. Nice Tokai. I remember seeing/hearing Tokai's back around 1980; even then, they were one of the premier copies.

thanks B.B., I just smile everytime I even look at that guitar.

Since I used to own a Charvel, I guess that makes me a "total douchebag"
