It's been a few years since I think I've posted a proper new gear / guitar day here and I figured I'd clean up some of the new arrivals and throw them up on the site. I moved back from Germany a little under a year ago and have almost completely swapped out most of my guitars since then. I've also been building a small EVH stealth rig with a few pedals shamelessly ripped from Brandon Ellis's live setup.
The ESP Silverburst I've had on order for a little over a year and a half now. I was able to get one shipped from overseas and it arrived last week, so it's perhaps the truest NGD and the actual reason for the post. The finish on it is pretty amazing in person and it's a little thinner and sleeker than the gold splatter.
Most of the guitars are in different tunings, except the Strat and Les Paul which are in Standard. I've made small modifications to about half of the guitars, with the gold splatter being the real guinea pig. I just installed some Will Adler Fishman's in it last night, and it's rocking a Hantug Floyd from Turkey. The Aristides is also loaded with Hantug parts and Fishman Moderns. I just finished installing Grover locking tuners and a locking Corsa-Faber bridge on the Les Paul Custom as well. Finally, the Tremonti is awaiting a pickup swap at the PRS PTC, because it turns out I absolutely can't stand the stock Tremonti pickups in it.
The '55 Bone tone is stock and plays like a dream. I've got it up for sale locally which is why it looks like it's undressing in the pictures. Won't be heartbroken if it doesn't sell.
Anyways, sorry the pictures are a little darker than expected, I wanted to clean them up and get them in some natural light, enjoy!
