Chillin' with some new friends.......

I finally got my RG20th DY almost 10 days ago and just had a chance to sit down and give it the once over: restringing, a few stainless steel screws in the proper places, Dunlop strap locks, ect., basically get it up to stage ready level. What a sweet axe !!!

I brought home a Fender G-Dec 30 tonight that I ordered for my teaching studio and ran it into my Mesa rig to try it out while imbibing some refreshments [hic}

By itself, the amps is ok. It has some cool settings and tones but thru something like the Mesa and that cab.....MMMMMmm

I had fun for a few hours and I think it will be tons of fun with my students. Pretty damn cool to get paid to play with that amp all day

Well, since I know you're all pic ho's, I snapped a couple for ya.

Oh yeah, I just picked up an EC-1000 and snagged a coffin flight case too. I'm diggin this axe and amp.

*excuse the sideways pics*

Nice.

Even better, if the lights go out you'll be able to find your way around by way of fluorescent axes. Great to see non-black guitars - I really should do something about that (you GAS-causing swine you).

Hollowbody in dayglo yellow, maybe?

I'm not hung over so apparently not too much but the blurry pics actually look exactly like I was seeing things at that point

I think I had about 6 Jager Bombs and maybe a six pack of brew so I was only a little sideways, it's just mildly funny that the pics are too

I had alot of fun trying out all the factory settings on that little G-Dec amp and I'm looking forward to getting to know it well enough to re-write some of the arrangements. That little amp is going to be a GREAT addition to my teaching studio. I'm going to check into what footswitch Fender sells for it and also if there is a cover or case I can get for it to keep it protected while bringing it back and forth from my studio to my house.

That EC-1000 is a really nice guitar. I have been looking to get a Les Paul style guitar for awhile and always figured I would buy the version of an EC-1000 with Seymour Duncans until ESP released this color (vtb- Vintage Black) without all the bling bling abalone binding. It has 24 XL frets, a mahogany set neck, a light weight mahogany body (7 1/2lbs maybe), EMG 81/60 (might change to JB/Jazz or Livewire JB/Jazz sets), Tone Pros locking bridge, Schaller locking tuners, Earvana compensated nut and aged triple binding setting off the satin black finish.

I restrung it with 10's and added a pair of matching (brass, not gold) Dunlop strap locks yesterday. I enjoyed the chance to spend a couple hours playing it and so far I'm really impressed at the playability of this guitar. It is very comfortable and a nice change to have an LP style guitar.

I'll get to try it out onstage this weekend and see how it fairs with the EMG's in a live setting before I pass judgement on the EMGs. I am willing to try the 18v mod first if I decide these pickups aren't for me before I spend the cash to replace them. If these pups do come out I figure I should get enough cash selling them to easily buy a replacement set from Seymour Duncan and new pots.

It feels like my birthday or Christmas around here lately
