Yeah, it's one of those threads again. I figure there's enough Ibby content in there to give me reason to post it here as much as anywhere else.

Awesome collection, loving the Pacificas too - would love one with a maple fretboard.

That one again.......I posted similar threads on a few other boards, and every time that's the one that grabs people's attention.

I got this one right here on Jemsite from Screamngdemon69. It's an early 90's Mirage Custom. At some point in time, one of the prvious owners did a collage deal on it. Before I got it I was gonna remove it all and maybe have it refinished, but I actually kinda like the way it looks in person.

Holy sh1t dude...thats spankin!!! No suprise it gets attention!!! Leave it i say, its unique and looks like its got its own personality!!

Yeah, that seems to be the consensus......leave it I will.

I gotta take it to the tech today, I have a couple of bridge issues. I'm almost tempted to just get a whole new Floyd, but while I suspect it would be compatible, I'm not quite sure.

Yes, that's a Charvel Spectrum. This one's even rarer than a typical Spectrum, as it has a maple board. The special thing about the Spectrums is the onboard wah filter. The second knob isn't a tone control. With the wah filter engaged, it controls where exactly in the sweep you are. The filter itself is set via a control located in the electronics cavity.

Playing without the filter engaged,the stock singlecoils don't really do too much for me, but with the wah switched on, the guitar really sings. I had one before that someone put a dual rail single in the bridge........sounded alot beefier than the stock Jackson single. I'm considering doing that with this one. Here's a solo pic of it.
