Second from right

I agree, hearing a comment like that makes me think OP has some undiagnosed issue with their ears. It has struck me as odd as someone who is on the younger side of the median of a group like this, that the old guys with the top end hearing loss play their amps with so little high end. If its...

I had a SuperDrive 18. It had no taper on the volume knob, but also wasn’t loud enough to keep up with my band. Lose-lose

Don't tell Dave! :p

The way it feeds back in the top clip is nice, but otherwise from those clips I'm a bit deflated on it.

If it was shipped, it’s plausible that something got messed up on the move.

I wish they would rerelease the Swan ii. HSS, though I would like them to keep the floyd top mounted, rather than the recessed way they went.

No. I have one spare humbucker around should I want a change in a guitar. I don't need a stockpile of shit I'm not going to use.

If I wanted crazy versatility, I would definitely consider the modelling route, but I don't. I don't want a whole tool kit, I want a really fucking good screwdriver. When playing in live scenarios, as they are not uber frequent for me, I would rather play with a real amp and feel the joy of...

I definitely much prefer Vai Alcatrazz than Yngwie. Disturbing the Peace is a great record. No Parole from Rock n' Roll is dumpy by comparison.

I prefer top mount, decked or floating. As said above, it feels similar to a Gibson bridge. I can play recessed of course, but I don't love it, just like I don't love the bridge feel of a Fender.

If I'm spending the same amount of money on each, I'm likely going for the RG, and that's coming from a Charvel guy. My MIJ Socal has been the only guitar to stay with me since 2011. (I do have another home brew that I put together in 2012 that has also stood the test of time, but a lot of...

Yeah for my Single coil needs, the QP is king of the mountain. I also quite like the Dimarzio FS-1, but to be honest I only bought one of those because it was the cheapest single coil Dimarzio or Duncan were offering at the time. Win-win

Also, of course changes were made to the 5150. That's how the 5152 came to be, same with the EVH stuff going through the OG, Stealth, etc. Ed also had greenbacks in his cabs vs the Sheffields that the Peavey's came with. I don't think there was anything really devious about it, and its...

Great band. They had a really good sound, great singer. Fields of Yesterday is a great record that I wish was a bit more polished. If it was produced like Poetic Justice would be awesome.
