Guitars

Well, it's been so long since I updated the guitar page. I've learnt a lot during these past 4 years and have got myself my very own Standard Fender Stratocaster, and it's rocks. Mikey is sitting on my lap now. I'll update you on my latest wish list.

I've been playing guitar now for just about 2-3 years. Over the years, I've learnt a lot about techniques and correct picking on the guitar. I confess, im a guitar freak and I cannot live without my guitar :)

I have an SG (I know what you're thinking, no not the Gibson. I'm 16, I don't earn any money, nor do I like expensive gifts. Well, I have a replica SG manufactured by a company called JHS, also the manufacturer of well know guitar make Ovation. Here, on this page, I'll display a list of my favourite guitars and a complete biography of the famous top three, Gibson, Fender and PRS.

My wish list for this year - it's an unreal christmas list ;) Hahaha lol Ho0t H0ot!

This is the very famous Jackson Soloist (SLSMG). I absolutely love this guitar, it's freakin' awsome!! I like the headstock on this axe, it really sets this guitar different from others. It's famous for being endorsed by Ben Moody of Evanescence, but he usually prefers to play an LTD.

I think the body has a kind of baratone look, even though it's not, I still like the effect. The EMG's on this are just wonderful!! This is definitely my most "dreamt of" guitar.

This is Kirk Hammet's signature ESP KH2 model. Kirk Hammet is a very favourite ESP endorser. He almost usually plays his own signature customs. I have however seen him with a ESP Strat. I think this guitar is gorgeous! My favourite feature of this guitar is the reverse headstock, which gives it that unique look obviously, now most metal guitars feauture a reversed headstock.

Body: Alder
Neck/Fretboard: Maple/rosewood
Inlays: Spiders, skull & bones
Pickups: EMG-81 active set
Bridge: Original Floyd Rose
Binding: None
Frets: 24 XJ

This is my second most favourite guitar. I actually have this guitar but it's a replica SG made by the manufacturer called JHS.The thing that I love most about this guitar is the shape of the body. I love the devil horns, there really isn't anything quite like this guitar. Again, I know what you're thinking, I have never touched a Gibson...a shame, they're hard to come by in an independant retailer due to the expense of them. This SG Standard would probabably cost in the region between �900-1500.

FENDER GIBSON PRS

Well, I'll be getting my Gibson Les Paul Custom real soon ;). A real Gibson. I couldn't believe it when my dad asked me if I wanted one for real. I asked him if he knew how expensive they were and he said, he was willing to buy it because it's a good investment, which is true, honetly because they're a Vintage make. Well, I didn't disagree lol.

This Les Paul is absolutely masterfully created - the golden pickups, knobs, bridge and machineheads just give it that presitge look that i'm looking for, as well as great tone capabilities from the high output pickups...I originally did want to put an EMG -81 on the bridge and a JB Seymour Duncan on the Neck but what the hell?

LES S ONS

Here is a pretty recent picture of mikey in it's place. It's a Standard Fender Stratocaster, that means no made in USA lable. It's a Mexican Stratocaster. Very Nice indeed.

It has 21 (which totally blows) medium frets on a maple fingerboard. It's in a three tone sunburst finish - the picture may not look like it, but it is.

This is a Seymour Duncan Hotrail pickup for stratocaster. I really want one of these, but I'm a bit short of money. The cheapest ones I've seen are a little over �70 and on sale on Ebay. I still can't afford that.
