The Show Your Work Thread

And don't forget the D-tuna Floyd...

That wasn't introduced until the Peavey.. They really are cool. I put one on the EBMM and it works like a charm.

Ya learn something every day...

First quickie test clip done with the MJ-wound pickup...



And here's the latest piece I did for Duncan about the new Schecters for 2014.

Good lord, that's some serious shredding going on in that clip! Are you happy with the pick-up? Sounds good to my ears..

Also - have you ever played an 8-string? What's that like? I feel like I'd be totally lost on one of those...

Thanks. It was late, and there's a couple of clunkers, but it turned out OK. I really like that pickup, think I'm going to ask MJ to wind at least one more for me. Like the 59/Custom, it's a little too "woody" sounding for extreme metal, but for everything else it sounds fantastic.
I haven't tried an 8-string yet, was just starting to find my way around on 7-strings, FFS. But I'm interested to check one out. My buddy at the Schecter Custom Shop liked the piece so much he invited me up for a factory tour, so I'll try one and let you know.

Sounds more like a digital chainsaw competition to me...

Fuck off, redneck.

It seems that the one thing you can say about Schecters is that they always sound good. They don't cut corners on pickups. The best sounding bass our bass player has is a Schecter and I find that the Schecter V thing I got for just $500 with the SD Custom Custom pickups sounds amazing.

Just last night I had it and an EVH Special thing with Dimarzios and a brass block in a rehearsal room going into a JCM 2000 and the Schecter sounded better.

That said it's light, unbalanced and not the nicest neck. Great value though I recommend them...

Schecters are very nice for the money and they look nice and clean, but they always feel cheap when I pick one up...

Apparently one of the features they're offering for 2014 is thinner neck profiles.

I bet you say that to all the girls...

I know what you mean though.

There is something about the V thing though. I've played half a dozen guitars at gigs recently and it's been the only one admired by people.

The thing about playing rock stuff live is that at least a third of your audience plays guitar. The average guitarist is a fucking prick who always thinks they are better than the guy they are watching. X10 if their girlfriend likes the band.

In that environment part of me always thought it was cool to use quite cheap guitars. You turn up with a $3k Les Paul maybe they like you less?

I've started using this Schecter thing about half the time. It is more difficult than playing one of my nicer guitars but that becomes part of the show to me.

[Seshmeister]

I should clarify that I don't have a $3k Les Paul....

[Nitro Express]

I'm a Strat guy. I have a three bolt 72 that's my favorite. Strats are kind of like blue jeans. The more worn and beat up they become the cooler they become. You always seem to have your favorite pair you just don't want to part with either.

The old Gibsons are cool but the only ones I like to play are SG's and 335's.

[Nitro Express]

Good eye, it's a 94 EBMM EVH.. I bought it new back in the day. Hard to believe it's been 20 years already!

Nice guitar. I always liked the look of the Musicman better than the Wolfgang series.

Fuck off, redneck.
