Holy shit! That's badass! Who did the inlays?

Orpheus +Slug Syndicate Friday 27 Betong, Oslo

First time I plugged into a Diezel Herbert and hit the E chord!

I beg to differ

I smell the irony, but will follow up with some pics. Check out the links for som great metal Karl Sanders from NILE Niklas Sundin from Bjarte (Can't remember his last name) from Enslaved

There's a big difference between what was metal then and what is reckoned metal today. Did they play Venom, Bathory or Ministry on mtv in the 80s? On ordinary music video shows (not the metalshows) in NOrway the play Satyricon and Stonegard in addition to all the britney and christina crap. Dimmu Borgir has sold over a million records, and black metal was a very small underground scene only 10 years ago. From what I understand the metalcore thing is VERY big in america these days, so calling it a fringe appeal is from my point of view an understatement I play heavy metal on my standard and agree with the person who said that metal is in your fingers, not in your axe. I saw a concertclip with Dark Tranquillity, I belive it was "punish my heaven" (great song by the way), where Niklas Sundin played a strat with single coils, so you don't have to have a BC Rich with EMGs to play metal.

If you play old school black metal or clean jazz. get a solidstate amp, otherwise a tubeamp sound better to my ears. The more you crank a ss amp the worse it sounds. The more you crank a tube amp,the sweeter it sounds.

No. You just thread the strings from the bridgeside Like this

...and the sentinel is by far the best priest song

Hi. your Monaco looks great. Since you are from Opethtown your are good in my book (hehe). However. It looks like the strings touch the bridge on the backside of the (whatever they are called, the things you adjust the intonation). I had had the same "problem" with my standard custom. I wrapped th estrings around the stop tail, and got better sustain. Is this a common problem with hamers? I suppose it is a question about neck angle. My friend's yamaha sg 700, which is much cheaper (but still a very good guitar) doesn't have this. I'm not trolling or trying to hijack your thread at all.

That's badass. One of the coolest standards I've seen

Here's my trans black standard in action and in case

SWEET!!! trans black standards rock

Opeth - morningrise. Not a single bad riff, and there are hundreds of them.

Thanks! I'm thinking of removing the pickupcovers and change the bridgepickup to something with more output and adding cream pickuprings.

Thanks martin-uk. After I bought that one I can't afford rent or food, so I'm hungry and homeless. Luckily the guitar came in a large box A new custom is far away, but there will be another.

So... many... stan...dards..... And I like it!

There have been many extremely nice standards lately, so lets get them all in one thread. Also I have just finished the second of 4 exams and need a fix.

4 days! My new hamer usa standard custom arrived thursday and it will be my #1 for a long time. I will post some porn some time soon
