- I was in a punk band in the early 90's and our guitarist had that Pink Steve Vai Jem with the grip. It was so uncool at the time but now I think back and thinkfooler
- it was the punkest thing we did.fooler
- Yeah Ibanez was more for hair metal back in the dayok_not_ok
- Hair metal and Alex Skolnik. I think all of his axes in the '80s and '90s were Ibanez.
And Alex Skolnik is waaaaay better than hair metal.Continuity - Dave Navarro played Ibanez when in early Jane's. That mattered to me back thenstoplying

- I use fret doctor for my fret boards. It naturally darkens them and seems to stay in longer/better than linseed oil or other fretboard oilsSteveJobs
- My finger oils do the job. I used lemon oil once, but it smelled like shite, so I didn't do it anymore.section_014

This has been a bit of a constantly evolving Electric XII build over the last few years... took some time over the last few days to wire it up / get it all back together. Really happy with how it's playing and it has a great sound with a ton of really geeky options.
Started life as Fender Mexican Jaguar Blacktop body which I stripped, reshaped, filled the bridge holes and routed a larger cavity (to change the scale length). I had the neck made by Musikraft in New Jersey - with a reclaimed Coney Island boardwalk fretboard, pickups are custom wound Firebird style humbuckers that can be switched between series/parallel modes, phase switched, and blended.
Originally pained it in lake placid blue nitrocellulose but I wasn't too keen on it so did it again in sherwood green... I ran out of paint before respraying the headstock and wont be able to get more until lockdown is over, can live with it for now :)

@grey the finish is so gorgeous in person. it's a custom 3-tone. It's about 20 years old now and the nitro is aging so well.futurefood - Oh! You got the ashtray too! You hardly ever see those any more.boobs

Another great DG vid... I love everything about this video (except the bit where I burn all my guitars and give up) some of the old-school players tricks are gold.

- Picked up a jamman couple of weeks back, still working it out, that extra switch looks handy as beans!robthelad
- yeah, the switch makes it! - i have the digitech 3 way box but only need STOP (can't hack the double click)kingsteven
- don't use it much as a looper (there's one on the HX) use it more to trigger samples - you can set up one-shot and fadeout on stop with the librarian software.kingsteven
