OOps, GAS has struck...

Just taken delivery of this

Image

Image
(the white one obviously, now with scratchplate added)

It's basically a custom guitar from Ash Custom Works here in NZ, his top end stuff is usually upwards of NZ$2000 but he did a more budget range a while back using premade necks but still all the love and attention he puts into making his normal guitars, got a chance to pick this one up very very reasonable and it's supposed to be a dream guitar.

Both Adrian (who is Ash Custom) and the guy I bought it from are on a local guitar forum I hang out at, just like yakyak but for guitars so I know it's history and everything.

Can't wait to get it home plug it into the amp and get some AC/DC or similar rockingout through it.

(In other news I have now put EMG81 and EMG85 into the Zakk Wylde custom, complete with the 18V mod while I was doing it, piece of piss to do and adds to the clean tones - not that you'd be caught using clean tones on a ZW Custom :twisted: )

I'd be interested to know what the em600 is like, I got one of their Vintage Overdrive units and it was rather excellent for the price :D

Out of curiosity, what did you pay for the Nord modular? It's the keyboard G1, unexpanded, right?

l1n3n01z - its an expanded keyboard version of the g1, a bargain for £350. :)

sty - i recommend the em600, great little pedal for the money (£36.50 delivered) not a very durable shell on the pedal (wouldnt stomp on it too hard) but lots of bang for your buck. its a copy of the line6 'echo park' delay pedal.

I bought a Vox AC30CC 2x12 the other day. Real nice it is as well.

I'm seriously hankering after a telecaster to go with it. Possibly a '72 reissue.

I want a telecaster too, at the moment. Nothing expensive for me. Definitely getting one soon. I sold my Schecter to a friend who fell in love with it.

The Baja is a 50's reissue with S1 switching and looks really nice. You can pick it up for £379

MIM Fender with US Alnico pickups

Just getting used to it, but it's really nice so far and a good companion to the Zakk and the SG Jnr
