The Elitist may prove the superior guitar - but I don't stand a chance playing it against you in a duel, even if you're rocking a $100 bottom of the barrel Danelectro. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> The player is more important than the instrument - and my Elitist is much more than I really need in terms of quality! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I thought we were meeting in Vegas to go to Ed Roman's shop - I didn't know it was a challenge!

I'm sure you'll have a good time.

Take video. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> We're hoping to be gig ready in a few months. We've got about 7 solid (original) songs right now - working on 2 new ones at the moment. We need to hit the studio after that - as the crappy recordings from myspace do us no justice what-so-ever!

I'm a very decent rhythm guitarist - as good as anyone that I've ever come across - I can confidently say that - but I'm a novice when it comes to playing lead. I've never even attempted until recently.

I've noticed that. I've had some great little solos - particularly in the stuff that I write that I can "feel" - but I've never sat down and learned scales or any of that garbage. Its coming - slowly, but surely. I impress myself sometimes - other times, I'm way off!

well the last pic I took of my gear is this one [Linked Image from a450.ac-images.myspacecdn.com]

its missing a bit now, but thats still my core set up.

doesnt do a great job of showing it off but I have a Fender Tornado and a Cort G255 (back when they still had EMG pickups). I run it all through my Randall rg75 g3 or my little marshall practice amp (mainly the randall). I also have an art and lutherie acoustic with a custom paintjob in the back of that pic, but of course you cant see that. Maybe in time ill take a couple more pics to better show off my gear but I've been too busy playing it to do that recently

Good stuff Snook! I had an Art Lutherie - its the one I mentioned on page one that is on permanent loan to a buddy of mine. I actually had a luthier fit a bone bridge piece in it - great guitar for the $100 or so that I paid for it about ten years ago! I'd love to see that Gold Fender from the front if you have any more pix. I've never been a Fender man, really - but I'll give them their full credit as being great axes. I always wanted a Fender Jazzmaster - up until the day I played my first Les Paul! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I'd still like to get one if the price is right... Sunburst, for sure. I've almost gotten a Randall amp on a couple of occasions, and ended up doing something else instead. One time I got a Rogue 2x12 combo (eh... never again!) and the other time I ended up getting my Laney 1/2 Stack (which I'm very happy with).

Good to see another guitar player who is a knife addict as well - or vice-versa.

I dont have any more pics of the fender on hand, but google is my friend

fender I have looks like this
[Linked Image from pro-music-news.com]

but instead of those p90s it has fender atomic humbuckers (fenders hottest pickup)

The tornado was made as a direct challenger for the les paul sound. While it doesnt exactly get it, it gets a sound that goes somewhere in between fender and gibson and amazingly smooth, I really do love it and would play it full time if it wasnt so freaking heavy
