Mista SCARY

I have to say George Lynch because I just got home from his guitar clinic. Damn he can still shred at 56 years old. I believe George is 52 years young...He'll turn 53 on Sept. 28 of this year. He can still shred with the best of them. Check out his online guitar school called the DOJO. Here's the link: http://www.georgelynch.com/newsite/index2.html

George Lynch

Crate GLX212...FOR ONLY $250!!! It comes with a lighted faceplate, lighted footswitch, 4 caster wheels. It's loud as hell, and has nice effects, too. You can't go wrong with this one. You won't be dissappointed. I bought mine from ZZsounds. It only took a couple of days, and HAD FREE ground shipping. http://a330.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/image...74d874a46e9.jpg Doug

Here's a few slideshows of my "Raging Bengal" guitar project: Here's the finished guitar: Doug

Curt over at The Guitar Station called me Friday to come and get my guitar. He wired it up and set the Floyd and put some new Dean Markley Super V strings on it. It sounds amazing!! And, it plays really nice, too! Thanks Curt and Jim for completing my project! You guys rock! And Thanks to Spazzyone for the G.L. wiring schematic...it came in handy for Curt.

The amp is so F**King loud! It's a Beast of an amp. Love all of the lighted knobs and lighted footswitch, and great sounding speakers. Doug

I'm getting a new amp today...a Crate GLX212. Here's the link: [post=http://www.zzounds.com/item--CRAGLX212]http://www.zzounds.com/item--CRAGLX212

Thanks Spazzyone for the George Lynch pickup schematic. I gave that to the guy who is going to wire my bengal guitar. It'll help him with the wiring set-up. Much appreciated! Doug

"I suddenly have the urge for a bowl of Frosties!" It's GGGRRRRRRRRRREAT!

nice headstock design! Great job!

I'm thinking about purchasing a Crate amp. Anyone have or ever use one before? Any feedback on Crate would be appreciated. Doug

I appreciate all of the great advice and compliments from you all. Thanks! But, it's almost done. No more sanding for me. Just gotta get wiring done and strings put on. I love how it's not "perfect." It has a feel to it like it's worn, yet not. When you rub your fingers over the stripes, you can feel them. You can also see scratch lines under the finish,yet the paint and stripes cover them. If I do anymore lacquer, you won't. It's all a matter of taste. Doug

Thanks! Actually, it's more orange in color, than red. Here's an updated photo with a new knob, and pickup rings. The metal flakes are what give it a cool sparklely shine. The paint is called," Burnt Copper." And, It's in the "Metal Flakes" spray line made by Duplicolor. It can be purchased at Pep Boys or from Duplicolor paints online. I used only one can with about 4 coats. Plus, I used Duplicolor clear lacquer to coat the paint. I went today to get an estimate on wiring the pickups, push/pull pot, and jack. Plus, string and tune it up with the Floyd Rose tremelo. Hopefully, the owner won't charge me more than $100. for the soldering work. Doug

It's a StarPower Guitar kit, and Ionly paid $110 + $20 shipping for it. It came built all together when I got it. Then took it all apart to paint it. I used 2 Bengal masking kits for the front and back. Thanks for your wiring advice. I'll look into that on SD website. It's a HotRails for strat. I'll Pm A mod about it when I get a chance. Where should this topic go? Thanks, Doug

Sorry, I'm new here. I haven't played it as of yet. It has a Duncan JB in bridge, & a Duncan HotRails in the neck. I want to wire it myself, but have never done it before. Any advice? It has 1 volume knob, but I replaced it with a 500K push/ pull potentiometer, to get full use of both pickups individually. How do I move this to the proper section? Doug
