The Guitar PR0N thread

With the record labels hurting and bands needing corporate sponsors to go on tour this may be the future. LOL!

The Spammy model is a CHEESE pizza...

The Rough Cutt Charvel/Jackson collection. Not sure if these are replicas or not, but proud to say I worked on a couple of the originals of these babies...

That's a nice chunk o' wood. What kind of pick ups are those?

That's Koa (which I of course have a fondness for ) and imagining they're just Carvins in an EMG housing... funny how all the 7 and 8 string designs seem to be bowing to the EMG footprint... even Duncan is making 7 and 8 string 'buckers in those housings (as a Custom Shop only item at the moment IIRC)

I think a friend of mine has a guitar made of Koa. I'll have to ask him.

Are those EMG's still battery activated? Never liked that feature.

Usually... they do make some passive models now though...

You KNOW you have made it when you own a real '58 or '59 Korina V like Joe has....

You never see it now but I can remember when they made outrigger canoes and paddles out of Koa in Hawaii. Just off the beach in Maui there were guys making outrigger canoes in this work area. People hadn't gone gaga over that wood yet I guess or maybe environmental regulations cut the supply of it. From what I understand all the koa came from the Hawaiian islands.

It's only found in Hawaii, and last I heard it was on the endangered species list due to over-harvesting, so a full canoe, or a 1-piece body like I have is pretty much impossible these days...
