They look great! Do you prefer the scalloped necks?

Dang! You're lugging around a full Marshall stack too. Very nice. What kind of music are you guys playing?

Woow :shock: Very nice collection really.

I am wondering about the scalloped one with black fretboard. Ebony I guess. That looks great.

It looks like a custom built one. I saw a Schecter guitar with scalloped neck with gold Schaller hardware on it was not a Floyd Rose. Looks very cool.

With respects master 8)

Thanks gents.

I only recently downsized my live rig to a single full stack. For the last 2 years I've played through two full stacks.

Image

Although it's easier to transport one stack, I miss the two-stack look and sound and will probably move back to sixteen 12" celestions soon.
I was very lucky and just picked up eight celestions greenbacks owned by Ritchie Blackmore (signed and numbered) from his last Rainbow tour. I'll be throwing those into a couple Marshall cabs I have laying around - not sure if I'll actually gig with those though.....

Dear Lord,

I've never even heard of a neck like that. Sculpted, huh. (I'm new to Fender guitars).

Also, the guitar in the 10th and 13th picture. Mahogany? Neck and headstock too? (just read this morning in the 50 th anniv Strat Book a picture and quote from a gentleman with an old, rare mahogany Strat and Tele, and he said they're the best sounding Fenders he's ever heard.)

And the nut and trem on it and one of the others?

I'd love to read anything you'd be willing to write about them.

They're beautiful. Very impressed. (although it looks like you kinda beat the snot out of the pink one.)

The dark red wood is Padouk:
Padouk, African (Pterocarpus soyauxii):
Bright vivid orange color which oxidizes to a warm brown with use. This waxy feeling wood has an open grain texture similar to rosewood and a tone similar to maple with great mids and attack.
That's a chambered body with matching Padouk neck. Original Floyd Rose trem and pickups are Seymour Duncan Duckbucker, Lil-'59 and a mini JB in the bridge.

That pink one is a Custom Shop Heavy-Relic'd 1960 strat. Pink was not available for that model. Quite rare. The black one is a Clapton. The green one with the flame neck is a John Page Custom Shop and a monster player. I actually talked with John last year about that guitar.

The first one - the yellowed white with finish cracks....I had that one custom made -all by hand- all by one guy. It took a year to complete, but it's great- I spared no expense on that one. Brazilian rosewood board, one-piece ash body (weighs 3.2 lbs) Lindy-Fralin matched-set pickups, oil pots, Orange Drop resistor, bridge off a 1971 Strat, Dunlop 6000 frets (like the Yngwie) birds-eye flame maple neck....

Hahaha - yes! Praise be.

We're assuming the girls sitting peacably in front of that 16x12 rig were already deaf? They don't seem bothered any.

There's folks here be interested to hear about those Marshall heads, while were at it, if you'd be so kind.

Also. Don't think you mentioned the maker of that padouk S-type? I'm sure it plays just as well, but I must say the scalloping on the Fender neck looks a much more regular and clean job. I wonder if the padouk guitar builder was not so familiar with constructing that kind of fingerboard?

Cheers - C

PS Curious setup the gentleman with the white drumkit has. Looks like at least four toms all the same size. Bizarro.

The scalloping on the padouk looks very similar to the scallop on a jackson randy rhodes custom order i had in the early 90's. Nowhere near as deep as the malmsteen but the same kind of round curve albeit shallower.

What are the heads a JVM and DSL? dont know how you use stacks. I used to disconnect the top speaker if i couldnt have em side by side, they take your head off, particularly with marshalls current aggresive treble sound.
