My custom Valravn Headless with a slightly different configuration than most

Interesting, minimal config. Is the volume-poti still push-pull, to switch voicings?

I honestly had to check but yes, still push-pull to switch voicings.

Holy. S

Holy shit how did you get that

He already clarified but Dino did offload a lot of his LACS guitars over the years. IIRC he did around the time he left FF back in the early 2000s and I wouldn't be surprised if he did again after switching to Ormsby.

Any chance you'd want to let go of that DK2M ?

My COW 6 and 7. Always loved how they look.

Where's all the Charvel Stars?

Here's one.

My biggest guitar regret ever is a single-pickup guitar.

It was an all black DC-125 with big block inlays, slender body and pointy headstock.
The tones it could get with just one pickup thanks to its 3-way wiring (humbucker/single/out of phase) were astonishing.

Sold it due to an intercontinental move and have not seen a single used one like it since for some reason...

Why not make it again? Or if not the same, just get a single pickup guitar and use the same wiring?

It may not feel the same, but it should, in theory, sound similar? Maybe a neckthru construction body esp/ltd/Jackson/Ibanez/etc?

I could get kinda close with Kiesel for about 2k$. But the headstock would be wrong, the body shape is no longer slender and the scale length is too long.
I could get the right scale length with Balaguer SK, but the headstock would be even worse, not even talking about the weird body shape, and it would be 2.5k$.
I could get a custom Jackson with a nice headstock, but for my 5k$ I'm pretty sure they'd still get the wrong scale length and forget a couple of frets.
Suhr or Anderson don't do neck-through super strats.
I've had a few bad runs with ESP Japans (the off-the-shelf stuff, it would be ridiculous to spend their Custom price for that "barebones" a guitar).

The Carvin at the time cost me only 300$, had perfect looks, and it sounded goood. Who knows how a new build would sound \o/
Plus, that's besides the point. Since the day I've received my perfect guitar build, overnight I just kinda stopped the cycle of buy/try/selling dozens of guitars a month to find the right one; so I'm not in the market right now. I realize I didn't even do an NGD for it now that I think about it lmao, just cut the cycle altogether

But this Carvin... That's the one that got away...
It's the exception...I'd probably snatch that in a heartbeat if it or one like it popped up in the used market.

Custom pickguards FTW!

What model are these?

 

[crimson]

Jackson Stars J2SP

I've been looking for this guitar nonstop. There was one on Mercari but it was going for $2700 which is unreasonable. At this point, it's more of a collector's item than anything, I have this in the Edwards variant haha. Also have the blacky.

Jackson just released a Korean version is this. A little pricey, but looks cool. https://www.jacksonguitars.com/en-U...ncept-series-rhoads-rr24-fr-h/2916679503.html

Depends on your offer. And since it's actually not for sale, you need to go forward with it.

Also I really love these Reba Meyers sigs. I don't know if people are into them or what but I think it's one of the best sigs ESP has done in a while
