Close family meeting for Nuno.

[Ibanez-Mag]

Not sure if I should post it here, since far from all the guitars are prestige, forgive me if I’m doing wrong.

I did send some shots of my new home studio to Nuno (Ibanez87.it guy) the other day.
One was a picture were you could see the wall were some guitars are hanging, and he asked if I could get a family shot of my guitars to post here at JEMsite.
I have no space to get all guitars in there (and a bunch of them are not at my home) but I took a picture of the ones that are there now (some are hanging in another room, but I left them on the wall). So this is the close family (not meaning family as the ones that are used the most), the ones that are living in my studio room.

Someone with a very sharp eye should be able to see these guitars (from top left).
1. RG550, the original from the 80’s.
2. RG3120VV, probably my al time favorite guitar.
3. RG1550FMRBT, changed neck

5. PRO540S
6. RG Custom with Wilkinson trem
7. S7320

16. Starfield Altair SJ Classic
17. Strato 2375ASH

19. Custom built guitar.
20. RG Mikro with changed everything :-)

Very sorry for the horrible color on the wallpaper. It will be changed ASAP, but I just moved here.

Almost forgott the pic.
It have been taken with a ultra wide lens so the perspectives are a bit distorted.

I think, that if I could only save one (but I rather die ) then I probably save my MO2, it is the guitar I play the most.
But the 3120 in the picture is also very close to my heart, and some of the old 550's, since they been with me for so long.

I hate to say it, but some of these guitars are never played.

So what are your thoughts on the tremoloig magnus?

I think it is super cool, a step forward for guitar. It makes it possible to do things that never have been done before. You can create completely new things, if you feel like spending the time with it.
It takes a lot of work to get it under your belt, just to be able to do anything with it and it take even more work to do something cool. You basically have to re-learn the instrument if you really want to see the potential of this beast. And you have to have the strong mind and imagination to be able to reach for things that never been done before, witch is a very hard thing to do.

It has some benefits over a normal tremolo too, stays in tune better, stays in tune if you break a string, you can do country double stop bends without one string going down, and it doesn’t steal as much tone as a normal trem does. Also look very cool.

It also have some drawback from a traditional trem, many witch are from the benefits.
You don’t have a normal trem arm that affects all strings, bending feels a bit different since each sting has its own feather, it is hard to do vibrato on whole chords (like you can do with just pushing on the trem with a normal one, think Holdsworth).

My major drawback is that it is next to impossible to play (pick or pluck strings) while doing tremolo at the same time, so a Shawn Lane trem dipp into a tone is impossible.
This makes that you can only do tremolo things with sustaining notes (or with legato, and then you can’t mute).

One day will there be a guy spending the time needed who does some amazing things that will make the whole world want one.

You know Magnus.......Ive seen videos of you playing. Me and a drummer friend of mine spent hours one day on youtube going through guitarist that had it all style flash, pizzaz. Your playing is already touching into new realms, and its just a matter of time before you come up with something completely unique.

[Distantshore]

You should post a warning for a guy...serious eye candy!!

[TongueShredder]

Hahaha, I'm pretty sure your JEM77BRMR Custom is the most pampered one among all your guitars. It is sitting pretty inside the glass casing to be admired and adored

[Dee]

F'ing unreal. Dude, do I see a signed-by-Holdsworth AH-20 in GREEN!!? I'm sure you understand just how rare that guitar is as much as I do. Awesome stuff. I also see a 540-SH, which is the exact Saber I want.
