Members Alchemist Posted February 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Disco-caster? I own a metallic purple MIA standard strat, a red and gold flake Ibanez RG..... is a silver flake guitar that surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Superrust Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 96 Strat - Lone star... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Looks like an HSS strat, USA. Maybe Lonestar but I don't think that color is right and the neck looks unique. Maybe a custom shop HSS strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 AH, ESP, wasn't expecting that. I was checking out a relic'd Edwards strat on ebay today, very nice, especially for $825 or whatever it was. I imagine the ESP is a step up from the Edwards. Very nice though, wild color. How does it play and sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Krashpad Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 sad old guitar day.... bye bye G&L, you were one of the best guitars I've ever had, but it was time to try some new toys and happy new guitar day! ahhh what could it be, lets see who can guess Lemme guess, a big giant guitar that's so big you can't possibly show us all of it at once? :poke: Looks like an H-S-S Strat or maybe the G&L analog of same. I'm not up on specific models as I ain't a Strat guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice! But I can't believe you parted with the G&L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alchemist Posted February 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Nice! But I can't believe you parted with the G&L. I'm going to own many nice guitars in my playing lifetime.... the G&L was just one of them...... awesome guitar, but I wasnt playing it as much as my others.... I really prefer thinner maple necks, and the G&L was my thickest neck and it was mahogany.... it was my best guitar.... but when your best guitar is not your most played something isnt right..... this guitar is of equal quality to the G&L, and did cost more initially..... but because of its specs I feel I will likely play it more....

Members JC777 Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 I don't care what name is on it. That is a gorgeous finish. Shiny things excite me....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Doctor Morbius Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Love that finish on the body! Very nice. Congrats. Too bad you parted with the G & L though. Sounds like it was an old friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that. No reason to hang onto something you don't adore, especially if you can flip it and acquire something nice. The new one looks sweet btw. Are those jumbo frets? They look huge in that pic, and nicely polished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like it was an old friend. thanks.... yeah the G&L was a tough one to give up, I am comforted that I replaced it with an equally unique high end guitar though..... I wish I had the money to just keep buying new gear and never have to rid of my old stuff lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alex9152 Posted February 18, 2009 Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 Love the finish. If the bridge pickup was white too it'd be perfect. Normally don't like ESP but this is an exception. I've seen quite a few exceptions, maybe my new least favorite brand will be Daisy Rock in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alchemist Posted February 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2009 ah. Well that's perfect for my tastes. yeah its a very nice fret size to play on strings are heavier than I would like.... going to string her up with some 9's and give her a full setup now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frets99 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The only thing wrong with this thread is that I don't have that SO G&L!! That was my kinda guitar !!! Gonna have to look up some pics of her and look at them while I cry in mah beer. But you floored me with an ESP!! Looks awesome and it does fit the music you play!! Excellent choice!!
