GuitarStoolMaker Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well I take back my words.....I have done finger exercisers while watching TV. If you put the crotch of the vee on/in your Right leg and use a footrest to raise your left leg you can actually play a vee very comfortable. One of my instructors when I was a teen had a Jackson V (it was nice to.) he showed me that trick at the time I had a Charvel Star body style and I could never play sitting down until he showed me the trick.

westhemann Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Charvel Star I remember those...hideous guitars... If you put the crotch of the vee on/in your Right leg and use a footrest to raise your left leg you can actually play a vee very comfortable. Well,that IS how I play sitting down...but I play explorers,les pauls,super strats,etc sitting down... My vee is for standing because it is so light and well balanced...a trait none of my other guitars share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarStoolMaker Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 What kind of Vee do you have? I really like the new Gibson V's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I have two main Vees...A jackson Japanese phil demel(?) vee with emg dual humbuckers and an original floyd...alder body maple neck thru and a KXK custom SSV(my baby)...maple neck thru,mahogany wings...dual emg humbuckers(81/85) and an original floyd... Both are great,but the KXK is top knotch homegrown california handmade custom...Thanks to Rob Kaufman it is easily the best guitar I have ever owned...and I have owned more expensive ones...

GuitarStoolMaker Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Nice, I like Jacksons. My top 2 guitars are a 2004 Gibson Les Paul stadard cherry sunburst and a Fender 'Robin Ford' Elite with a Khaler tremlo.. I bought this guitar new when I was 15 and had it ever since. It is one of may favs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Kahler trem you say? I built this two years ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarStoolMaker Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ok that Rocks! how heavy is it. Here are my top 3 guitars....I feel to old (39) to say Axe the yellow one I built from BC rich and Fender parts a few years back. Kahler Tems are the best. Even with my new floyds still go out of tune....My kahler nevers does I can jam for hours and still be tuned. the fine tuners are way better than a floyd as well.

westhemann Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 how heavy is it. Everyone asks that....so I just now weighed it...ready? 10.4 pounds....about the same as a les paul supreme... But too heavy...I should have hollowed out more...just could have made a huge control cavity....since I matched the cover it would not have mattered....

westhemann Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 That Fender is amazing...I have never seen one...I thought the schecter body was original...obviously fender did it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarStoolMaker Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) The black Fender was only made for one year. I was lucky to get it. The yellow one all the parts are fender except the body. That is a BC Rich model I can;t recall. The black Fender has better tone than the les Paul and the P90's really kick through my Marshal Edited October 29, 2008 by GuitarStoolMaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 The black Fender has better tone than the les Paul and the P90's really kick through my Marshal Man...I bet...those p90s look tasty...I can hear it now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarStoolMaker Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 yep that is it....nice one piece alder body... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Just FYI you can REALLY liven up the tone of a les paul with some premium pups...depending on what you play as to what kind... I always throw emg in mine...but the JB/59 duncan combo is awesome too...both combos for rock/metal... for other styles I don't know..but I never liked those gibson alnicos too much...

GuitarStoolMaker Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) these aren;t that bad I prefer Screamin Deamons. I like the G lynch sound. I never put them in the LP cause the pups were not that bad. The neck pickup is really fat and heavy. has a G N R type feel and in the clean channel there is almost no hum. I have 3 effects DD-2, DOD chourus and a Whah. Another happy footrest buyer! Edited November 2, 2008 by GuitarStoolMaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
