Which one...there are two in the pic!
Short answwer is, yeah, they are BOTH absolutely outstanding. Too bad guitardude is out of town. He has seen and played both when we went to the Priest concert last August. He could comment better than I.
In an nutshell, though, yeah...both are SWEET!!

That sucks, a little anyway... At least you have something to look forward to after the trip...
If you hit Disney, check out the Aerosmith coaster, and if you go to Universal, you HAVE to ride The Hulk. Both coasters kick ass. Either way, have a great time with the boys, and if you can find it go to Angel's seafood buffet.. |

Hey guys!
Still wating on word from ESP on the arrival of my guitar. The store where I ordered it called me yesterday and said that they had heard from them and it should be sometime this coming week for it`s arrival.
The unfortunate part(well sort of) is I leave this afternoon for a little R&R time in Orlando with my kids.
See ya in a week!!

I like Alder and Basswood myself, Maple is just so damn heavy!! I am curious about the Floyd"special" also. But, worst case scenario, I could put in the real deal. The routing should be close enogh to work. If not I`ll just keep wrenching at it until it`s right. It couldn`t be a bad guitar, it retails for 719.99 by what the store I ordered it from told me. I negotiated a much cheaper price. My biggest fear is it will end up a POS,and not be even close to my liking.
I have tried the LTD`s and the necks are nice, not a Jackson`s, but still nicely shaped and finished.
They also had the newer production Charvels, if I could have got them to come down to around 700 for one, i would have gotten it(So Cal model in black). Now I`m just waitng as patiently as I can. LTD or not, I`m still excited about it!!! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by SDBinNY from Tuesday, February 24, 2009 5:21:13 PM)

The Bengal M-1 would be it. Only I`ve ordered the LTD version, since the job isn`t so secure right now, I had to go cheapo!!
But at least I can justify spending the cash for a real Floyd and the Screamin Demon later on!! mainly went for it for the paint job.

Ok, who let this thread drop so far?!?
KxK guitar. Being sold with a limited number of configurations. First, red or white? Hmmm.... then come the real questions: what type of fingerboard? Scalloped and logo, no brainers. Only wish they had the option of putting that volume knob in its God given place, in front! Still, come on guitar gurus, what do you all think? I would tend towards matching exactly what KK had last tour (white..but what neck that??). Thoughts?

I can tell you that I saw Jennifer doing "Flight" on a daily basis in 1986 @ M.I. during group lessons. She had obviously been doing it for quite a while at that point to be able to perform it at that level.

From Jennifer's site:
Jennifer has authored two music books and ihas just released her third solo CD/DVD entitled “Whatever”. With this 3rd effort, she’s ventured into electronica, vocal samples, and film. She’s supporting this release with a multimedia one woman show, playing guitar in synch with films projected onto a giant screen. The companion DVD includes over 90 min of art films, previously unreleased music videos, interviews, commentary, and an innovative guitar lesson.
And as a correction of my previous statement, she is now a Washburn endorsee.....

Yes. I suppose you have a point, however, Batten's version (at least the one I have seen) is more "tapping" and it appears she is using some kind of modified "keytar" to me. Not that it isn't a very talented effort , but it does not seem to be the same thing from what I could gather. At least to my over-simplified ears! I like the "blender" analogy! Very clever! This guy does get to the point where it is rather difficult to hear the notes but I think it is a remarkable example of musical dexterity, if nothing else.
