Actually is King V, but I renamed it a Spectral V because of the colours. :agreed:

At first, I saw it as a Rhoads. Then I realised it was a King V. But for some reason, when I wrote my comment, I stayed with the Rhoads. I need more coffee ahaha

Anyway, it looks killer man

This is my home built ergonomic 6 String Baritone, scale length is 27". It is setup with a set of Strings from 12-54 (wound "G" String) and tuned from C to c. I dig it a lot....

Now this is my kinda thread :shred:
6xFtB

The two main guitars right here, my PRS SE Mike Mushok and my Douglas Ceti 627. Both have Seymour Duncan JBs in the bridge and the Douglas has a GFS Crunchy PAT in the neck with a coil tap for each. Kind of tempted to put the same setup in my PRS with 2 switches, but I might just toggle switch tap the neck pickup once I replace it on my PRS. I don't find myself using the tapped bridge pickup often, as I always switch to neck or mid on H/S for clean playing.


As for my next buy...

I want one. My only gripe though is I'd prefer an ebony fretboard aswell, but for 500 dollars I guess beggars can't be choosers.


Can anyone tell I have a thing for sunburst finishes, by the way? :lol:

Hope I don't make anyone angry with this bump, but I'm not about to make a new thread to talk about my newly arisen GAS :rolleyes:

So, just when I thought I was satisfied after getting my Mike Mushok sig about a month ago now, this has to hit the market
Electric Guitars RG - RGIB6 Iron Label | Ibanez guitars

Okay, so maybe I've been out of the loop with ibanez since I got my SIR27FD, but I'm a total sucker for the tuxedo look, and this one just has me hardcore GASing because it's so beautiful. Has anyone gotten one yet? I need to see this model with a JB/59 set in white right now. :squint:

I'm not really a big fan of the rosewood fretboard though, was hoping since Ibanez finally decided to start using ebony that they'd put ebony on the newer iron labels.. Oh well, I can still dig it.

It looks sooo beautiful :) Question: Since that one comes factory tuned a whole frigging octave below standard with bloody .90 strings in the bottom, how will it react if you put lighter strings on it and tune it in Bb standard?

Which Schecter model is this one ?

Holy shit am I jealous of you, two of the guitars I want most in this world!

How is that Douglas? I'm really very seriously tempted to throw caution to the wind and get one shipped over to the UK just because of how cheap it is. I seriously love the look of that thing and it would be absolutely perfect for modding, assuming its a decent enough build in the first place.


Oh, and just to counter how jealous I am of you guitars, I own one of those Blacktops :D I shall take pics if I have the time!

My first post here :hbang:

My first guitar that i made for myself resently:

Bari6.jpg


28" scale
Wenge/Maple/Wenge bolt-on neck
Pau Ferro fretboard
Maple body with (limed)Oak top
Locking tuners
EMG 81+60
Toggle/vol/vol/tone
Brass bridge, designed by me
Graphtech saddles and nut
Danish oil finishing

Going to do new bridge as now it's too far back, other than that it turned out very well and sounds really tight and clear (currently drop Ab with 14-68, need to make another in 30" for that F..:hbang:)

Given the sudden proliferation of 8-strings in my rack, the baritones have taken a bit of a backseat lately, with one exception: this gal.

bich_zps0630cb21.jpg


BC Rich Special Edition Baritone Bich. 30" scale, with an EMG 85 in the bridge. I have it strung 17-28-38-48-60-80 and tuned EADGBE, one octave down from standard guitar tuning.
