Yeah you got me, I was joking about it being a custom. :lol: Here's the front and back pics you asked for, and a couple shots of the inlays (pretty much Greek letters spelling "Andrapos" with a double X at the 12th fret and my initials at the 24th)....pics taken during assembly in Peru by luthier Domingo Cicirello.

All the other pics of its creation are available here: http://www.andrapos.com/Custom.html


As far as the Soldano goes, I love it. The tone is amazing (to my ears) and the only volume issues with it (besides it being loud) are if you have the clean tone on and you flick the "crunch" switch (not the channel switch) - adding crunch immensely increases the volume on channel 1.





Thanks for the attention :)

Soldano Hot Rod 50XL mated to a crate 4x12 :rolleyes: Hey, It was cheap and it actually sounds pretty good. (the Soldano 4x12 is on the way. Had 2 of their cabs before with 2 HR50XLs. Excellent cabs and amps.):

I forgot, I also have an old Ibanez XV500 but it's in pieces right now.

And andrapos, that 7 string looks great!

Thanks! That 9 string looks killer, where did you find it? A few too many frets (is that 36?) but I can only imagine all the chunk it has!

You wouldnt be interested in another Hot Rod 50 (not XL) would you? I just tossed mine up on ebay, replacing it with another SLO
Hot Rod 50 for sale, clicky clicky!

Thanks! I had it built for me buy a guy that primarily builds electric upright basses. He had built a few guitars before and I think mine was the last one he was going to make. And yes, it has 36 frets. Mostly just for looks. It is quite chunky too. The custom EMG helps. It's basically a 707 streched out(I call it the 909 :D ). It's a perfect match for the Soldano.

I'd love to pick up your HR50 but I think I need to stop spending money for a while. :( :D

Hmm. A little simple compared to some of you, but tweaked to fit my needs rather nicely:

Guitars:
Ibanez RG-7620. 1999, "Vampire Kiss," basically a metallic burgundy. Black hardware, although I'd LOVE to switch it out for the powder coat pewter-ish, if any of you are looking for black... ;) Strung with GHS Boomers 10-60. Stock pickups replaced with Air Norton 7/Tone Zone 7, stock Ibanez 5-way replaced with a tele-style 3-way and a master push/pull coil tap on the tone control. Essentially, a JS-series 7-string tweaked in more of a prog metal vein.

Fender American Standard Strat. Strung with Elixer 10's. Also 1999, "Inca Silver," which is basically silver with a hint of green, with a maple board. White pearloid pickguard, three Lace Sensor Gold pickups, graphite nut and saddles. I'm thinking of replacing the trem and going for a roller nut and locking tuners; the Fender Deluxe locking trem is tempting, for the Ibanez-style push-in bar, but the Hipshot vintage trem is sexy as hell, so... Basically, a greay bluesy guitar that can still hang for the heavier high-gain stuff, too.

Martin MC-16GTE. Strung with Elixer acosutic 12's. Think it's about a '00, and bone-stock. Mahogany body, gloss spruce top, Fishman Prefix pickup (one of the most accurate I've ever played, incidentally- soundhole mic ROCKS for adding ambience and "breath"). I've been playing this one a lot lately- helped my electric technique tremendously, and I'm trying to get a feel for Jimi-style fingerstyle blues.

Amps:
Mesa Nomad-45 2x12. IMO the most versatile thing they offer; 45 watts, three channels, two modes per channel. Clean channel can be driven a little bit on normal mode, or sent into SRV on meltdown aggression in pushed. Channel two is pretty Mark-esq, I generally stay in vintage mode, very liquid, but modern mode offers a touch more bass, treble, and output. Channel three modern i actually prefer to the Rectifiers, and vintage is like an agressive mark-iv; nice. Then throw the normal/extreme poweramp options in there... generally prefer extreme for distortion, as it's more compressed and saturated, but normal offers some gorgeous open clean sounds.

Lately, I can't get over how good channel 2 sounds with the gain back- maybe 4-ish. Amazing.

Johnson J-station- it's been gathering dust, mostly, of late, but it's still a great tool to have around- i have a few weird spacey patches that i like for ambient overdubs, and the bass sounds are pretty decent. (oh- squire p-bass 5 string- peice of crap,b ut probably should be mentioned. It sits in its gig bag when I'm not recording).

Hey, it keeps me happy...

Thanks! And good qeustion. :lol: I think right now it's going from low E to high E and some sort of half-assed open tuning in between. I don't have a tuner anymore so I usually just tune everything by ear. Many years of working set-up here at Gibson Guitars Acoustic Division kind of trained my ear really well.

No of course not! It used to be volume, pickup blend, active treble, active bass, two coil taps, and an in/out of phase switch. Soon it's going to be 2 volume, 2 tone, 2 series/split/parallel, and a kill switch.

PS: Got it on eBay. If it was my choice, I'd have 2 volume, 2 tone w/push-pull for coil tap, and a kill switch.
