Been wanting to get a guitar with dual Phat Cats now, then I saw these…
…but why oh why are you only Japan exclusive?

Yup, I can definitely get into that...dayum!
As for my current GAS, kind of a surprising choice, but this one, the Douglas Scope 727 Nat Ash 7:
Why, you might ask? It's looking like I might be able to afford one of these around Christmas time, and for some reason, the insanely low price ($125 currently, hoping the sale lasts another month) makes the GAS even worse. At that price, pretty much all it needs to do is have fairly good playability and stay in tune, because even if I wound up having to swap out the bridge pickup, I'd still be doing alright.
If I do indeed get this one, I have one mod planned for sure...the headstock shape is alrightish as is, but I noticed if you were to do a little creative woodworking, you wind up with something pretty close to an ESP headstock, so I'd be doing that and getting rid of the decal, perhaps to come up with something of my own, or maybe just leave it blank.

Well is that really confirmed yet? But I'd rather have the originals anyway. I'm looking at one for $500 right now!

The shinyyyyy:
I want my old Caparison TAT-I back somewhat fierce. Sellers remorse!
an Axe FX-II would be nice as well since I can't play my Sig X in my new flat. Booooo!

Right now, JP-7's have me by the balls.
Best guitars I've ever played ever.

Reissued in late 2013/early 2014.
And if it's pretty easy to setup the Eventide Pitchfactor with a MIDI-capable amp and a MIDI footcontroller, I wouldn't mind centering my entire rig around one. All I really need is a delay, chorus, and some pitch effects.
Also a plus if expression pedals work via MIDI with the Pitchfactor.
Yeah I suppose. I found the prototypes already for sale after I posted this. I can't wait to get my hands on one. Hopefully I'll have one by the end of next week!
And the next thing I'll need to get is a tube amp. Currently running through a 150w Line 6 Spider IV because it was only $400 for the half stack. What would be the way to go? Marshall?

The Factor pedals use a 1/4" mono jack to connect the expression pedal. But you can assign a MIDI controller to do just about anything on the PitchFactor including anything the expression pedal is assigned to do.

Depends on what you plan on playing. Usually Peavey stuff is best on the cheap, especially used.
Also, yeah, the Schecter Classics are coming back under a limited run for 2014.
Sounds good to me. If by some miracle I get the cash for a Pitchfactor, I'd probably get a Behringer controller with the upgraded Eprom.

Metal dude. That's why I'm about to get my second Schecter! I wouldn't go cheap though. I need something to really help my $1000 guitars soar, so I figure an amp for around the same price would be the right thing to do.
I live in a house with 2 full stack Marshalls and an Orange head with a Mesa Boogie clone cabinet. I just don't use them since they're not mine.
What would be a good amp for using both EMG actives and SD passives through? That's all I've got now. No telling what I'll get later. I'm really craving a nice Jackson with some DiMarzios since everyone talks so highly of them. But it'll be a while until I can afford a $2000+ guitar.

Have you ever played a Schecter US Custom? I'm so extremely curious as to how good they are but I can't find any one who owns one or has even played one.

The new Schecter Avenger 7 we're getting.
I'll gladly trade both of my testicles for one. If anyone is interested, feel free to PM me!
The Douglas Hadron series, however... I've owned 3 of them and each one has been ....ing amazing and outclassed even my most expensive guitars, including my Ibanez SIR27FD (in terms of tone at least, the fretwork and weight on the ibanez are still much superior). The only downside is they're ....ing heavy, (easily the weight of a full mahogany hellraiser 7, if not more) which is surprising for a guitar that's been slimmed downed to about the size of a SLSMG, but then again I'd consider the weight a major reassurance in terms of tone. Oh, and the stock pickup, while not horrible, isn't the best. Swapping it out for something else would probably be best, I actually put a fullshred 7 in mine and I love it with that pickup.
Actually, I guess you could say I'm actually gassing for my 4th one as of recent, because of the new flamed top ones:

Can't get enough of these things

Just a heads up, I had one of these and I really hated it. It sounded very clacky, had a bad fretjob, and was just in general shoddy craftmanship, the neck wasn't very stable and pulling or pushing on it slightly would cause it to shift in pitch, the floyd felt very cheap, and I had to shim the neck to even get reasonable action.. This was something like 3 or 4 years ago though, when they went for 200USD, and this is also my own personal opinion, so take it with a grain of salt obviously. I tried both a d sonic 7 and a JB7 and they just sounded... bad.... I'd end up trading it to my buddy who liked it fortunately, but I never ever considered that model ever again after that experience.As for my current GAS, kind of a surprising choice, but this one, the Douglas Scope 727 Nat Ash 7:

I've heard nothing but good things.
Peavey. 5150(II), 6505(+), XXX, 3120, JSX, Ultra Plus... any of those will do.
And now I'm GASing for a baritone 7-string. Been listening to a lot more SYL/Hevy Devy lately, so I need something for Open C+G.

My stepdad gave me his shitty old Crate halfstack, which to my surprise, has godlike distortion. The problem is that it has been to hell and back, so I need some good stickers to punx it out and cover the roadwear. So yeah, I'm gassing for car decal stickers and stuff. It's impossible to find any good ones unless you live in the city and have access to one of those niche novelty shops that reeks of weed.
