GAS Strikes... Again. <yawn>

What is it (other than stupidity or trying to fill some supposed emotional void with things) that compels me to buy guitars that I know will very likely be subpar to my Hamers and HELs?

To wit: '18 Ibanez RG 550.

2010 ESP LTD GL200K Kamikaze

and now a 2013 BC Rich Zolton Bathory ASM. 🙄

Those BCs are killer-looking guitars. The Bathory model is sleek. Excellent lines on these guitars. 

Couldn't agree more. And it's got some very respectable  hardware and snazzy appointments- natural, maple cap over mahogany wings, 5 piece neck thru, a real deal OFR, Grover mini's, in this case, the Rockfields were replaced with Seymour Duncans. Not sure what models but it could be an improvement. Sheeooot- it comes stock with 24 jumbo frets, reversed heads stock and a f-ing toggle switch, no less!!!

That LTD Lynch Kami I'm putzing around on at work could soon be replaced with this.

Only you can decide when enough is enough.   Enjoy it.  

 

And I'll enjoy seeing you refinish it with green polka dots.  😜

Nah. It's not a prospective stage ax. Likely, just a soon-to-be-flipped item.

Its only a problem if it interferes with normal functioning.  Looks cool. Korean made?

Yup. Korean made with a US-sourced maple cap and hardware. Kinda amusing- American maple shipped to Korea for assembly then shipped back over to the US for sale.

Guess shipping maple is cheaper than paying labor.  Definitely a choice.

I am still waiting on you getting a Jazz box and putting FR in it and then doing one of your day glow paint jobs on it. Maybe going with a King Kong theme paint scheme for it. 😉

Great idea; if nothing else,  just to annoy jazz snobs but not gonna happen.

It's: Shred 'til I'm dead. (or my ham-handed approximation there of)

I found a Gibson gold-plated floating Johnny Smith mini-bucker. I had it installed on an MIK Gretsch Electromatic hollowbody jazz box. Would that annoy the jazz snob?

Sorta like this, but with sunburst finish and gold-plated genuine Gibson Johnny Smith floating pickup:spacer.png

Make it a matte black EMG or a Duncan Invader and we'll talk.  ;)
