woah, there for a second i didnt even see the graphic on the jackson. i thought it was just a blurred reflection off in the distance reflecting off of the black paint job.

That was the Twisted Metal Sweet TOOTH LTD ed, Jackson.
They made a Jersey Devil graphic about the same time I been looking FOREVER to get!
But upgraded the Sweet tooth with some EMG's and Real Floyd.
Its a Shred machine!!

thats cool. what emg combo did you choose/wood of the guitar? im just curious. i'm debating doing a floyd upgrade on my charvel along with new center pickup/neck pickup. not sure yet if i even want to jump for it. it's more of a tone beast than an excellent player.

I did the Zakk set. 81/85.
Sounds great.
Not sure what wood the guitar is made out of. It was a Japan import. But the neck on it is flat and wide. Feels like a old RG550 neck. Plays super fast and sounds Killa! :rock:

in the end, thats all that counts! :rock:
 
the best of all the 80s finishes is the crackle, or any Dan Lawrence finish. I think this charvel actually is both

I don't like this one, however - that stained fretboard is awesome!

that yellow one is bitchin. what is that?
Killer Guitars. Akira Takasawa plays one, maybe a sig?
Yuppers!
Designed by Akira. His signature line. They are made thru ESP Japan.
The one I have is a Prime model.
Love it!

Been playing Killer for years. Bought a few of them when I was stationed in Japan. :yes:

thats so badass. i thought i would NEVER see the likings of loudness mentioned on this forum.

i call dibs if you decide to sell it :lol: :LOL:
 
Another guitar that screams 80's is the Aria Pro II Urchin. Those can be had pretty reasonably right now. Less than $500 at least. Peavey had a model that was really similar.

Hamer Scarab?
