Members t_e_l_e Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 t_e_l_e, that tele is slick. Do you have any audio clips of it?never did clips before, just some recordings with my mp3 player with the whole band, but i guess its not worthy to share, and currently there is nothing recorded with the new tele.but soundwise, this thing is really hmm different i did only play strats and les pauls before and this tele fits in completly in the middle. its not as warm and fat sounding than my lp, and it also does not do the stratish sound. it sounds amazing, its dirty its bad its punky its fun to play...i don't know how else i could describe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zeff Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 Anyone know where I could find a lefty floyd replacement arm? All parts doesn't have them in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RebelShredmojo Posted April 26, 2007 Members Share Posted April 26, 2007 woo Lefty here too! Main guitar I play is an Ibanez RG1570..about went nuts when they came out with a lefty prestiage.. Definately my fav guitar other than the plain black paint w/ dot inlays. Raven West guitar (www.ravenwestguitar.com) makes some awesome lefties..I have one of the ealier models before the AAJ joint.. Really good guitar. Bout to sell my JSX, Raven, Strat, and maybe my Les Paul to get a Carvin DC400 made I think. or an Ibanez RG3120 lefty... probably the Carvin though..Be cool to have a custom lefty.

Members leftyjay Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 i added one more gretsch this past month. its a 7594 White Falcon II. plays great, sounds great. it may not be everybody's cup of tea, but for my style and the gigs i play, these white gretsches work very well.plus i just changed over my gretsch 6128-57 from dynasonics to filtertrons. it came out looking sweet and was too good of a guitar to sell off and buy a replacement.before...after...the dynasonics had a great sound. kind of a p-90/tele mix, but the hum was bad. i stand next to a keyboard during my gigs and it made the guitar hum a lot. it plays and sounds sweet now.

Members guitarNed Posted May 3, 2007 Members Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hi, everyone. I've been a lefty for as long as I can remember. It started when I lived in New York, on Long Island. I was a straight-arrow member of the Democratic party, marched against the Vietnam war, opposed Richard Nixon and supported liberal politicians and leftist causes, whatever they were. I also supported civil rights. When I moved to Wisconsin I discovered many, many leftists. Madison, Wisconsin is probably ground zero for liberal leftist political activity. I don't live in Madison, or near it, but I manage to visit there once in a while. I live close to Minneapolis/St. Paul, the land of Paul Wellstone and the Democratic Farmer Labor party. I am a card-carrying, dues paying member of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, and a well known friend to leftists here in Wisconsin. Some of my earliest musical experiences were playing at rallies for liberal causes and progressive candidates here is Wisconsin. "Progressive" is the word we like to use in Wisconsin when we mean "communist sympathizer." "Liberal" and "leftist" are additional synonyms for "communist sympathizer." Glad to see that HCEG has a leftist clique. Maybe we could start a fund, to raise money for liberal candidates for the U.S. congress. Let me know what you think. BTW, Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl are our U.S. senators here in Wisconsin. They are two fine liberal statesmen. If we all pitch in together, we can spread the liberal ideas and leftist values that have made this country great. And which, er, can make any country great, if they are adopted.

Members clarky Posted May 4, 2007 Members Share Posted May 4, 2007 Nice! I've been gassin for a lefty 7 string lately. So is that a full custom, or an Ibanez body with a custom neck? dude.. this guitar is a full custom..however, it's a bit of a half breed..Avarice used to look like this:which was made by UniversalJemsbody: alderneck: maple - 3 piecef/b: ebonypups: 2 PAF7 and a S/Cbridge: LoPro Edge 7This version of Avarice [Avarice I] was based upon the UV7. The build quality was ok in most areas and actually quite poor on some parts of the neck. She had an interesting voice and was mainly used as a riff machine in the studio. I couldn't take her on stage because the neck was simply not good enough everywhere. The profile was really "blocky", and above the 18th fret she really sucked bad. But for riffing she was great.I needed however to play some gigs with a 7 string, and I'd already been working with Morgan Custom, helping them to develop a 'Hot Rod' variant of their Merlin model. So Morgan came to the rescue and built me a replacement neck. This served two purposes:1 - bailed me out so I could go play the 7-string gigs2 - served as a test bed for the 7-string protoype neckThe Avarice I body and hardware was used as a test bed to mount and trial the Morgan neck, thereby giving birth to Avarice II.Once the new neck was fitted, all the neon colours looked nasty so I fixed it all.Avarice II is nowbody: alder - same body as Av Ineck: maple - single piece birdseye maplef/b: ziricotepups: 2 PAF7 - to be replaced by my prototype "Clarky sig model" Bulldogsbridge: LoPro Edge 7Custom Pickguard: Pickguard Paradise - the original P/G was a bit crap, plus I was switching from H-S-H to H-H and didn't want a great big empty hole.After all that I ended up with:quite a transformation isn't it.. lol..the birdseye neckthe Morgan headstock - she's a prototype explaining why there is no logo etc..abalone inlaysziricote F/B - note the blonde "sap wood". Ziricote fans consider this as bling..Basically, the more sap wood on a ziricote F/B, the more bling it iscustom P/G - which the "Clarky Shredding Stickman" logothe new neck changed absolutely everything..her tone grew ten foldher sustain grewshe's wicked fast and completely alive in my handsso having been a tacky neon riff machine confined to the studio that was pretty much the last guitar in the rack I'd reach for..she's now my number one lil' girlie and I can't leave her alone..we're now deeply in love and going to live happily ever after..The thing with these Morgans is that they're more than just nicely made "bling-wood" furnature guitars...they are principley about being tone monsters and are very high performance guitars..when I look at my 6 and 7 string Hot Rod Merlins - that are currently being born..I know that they'll each have the beauty, grace and finesse of a Dutchess..but they'll go like a trailer-park whore...it just don't get any better than that now does it.. lmao..
