You are correct in the pickup configuration I want and the bridge.That Charvel is awesome. I have looked at the Warren DeMartini models they have currently as they are about the same price as the GL models. The Charvel`s have the compund radius necks with the spacing that I like(1 11/16). the GL models do not(the radius anyway). Thanks for the link,Ill look into them.

Customs have gotten out of control. judging by the GL reference, you are looking for a hum/single Strat shape with a bolt on neck and Floyd.... Try this...

You know,this should be in the "Piss me off " thread,but I`ll vent here.
I`ve been looking at Jackson and ESP for a new guitar,even went as far as getting quotes on custom builds. Man they were both over 4grand for the features I wanted,hell I can get any of the George Lynch signature models from ESP, for the high 2 grands,WTF is up with that.!!! |

I would go with the Red with the Maple fingerboard,I`ve always had a thing for the maple fingerboards,more an asthetic thing than sound. Ebony is a hard wood and it`s darker color lends itself to looking good for a guitar. But a maple board with a matching (body color) headstock will always get my vote.
It would seem that ESP is overly proud of those George Lynch models also. The custom shop is just high,so one of the premier series that go for around 3600. will be more inline of what I might go with,but then again,what the hell do I need with a guiatr that costs that much??
Let`s see.... get played once a month and set around in the case the rest of the tim in a dark closet. Maybe I should just drop this notion until a Phantom GT comes up somewhere!! I always liked those when they were new,so now that they`re un-obtanium,makes the pot even sweeter.

That aside, what are your choice in options? While I actually like the red, scalloped frets, maple fingerboard, I think I'd be leaning more towards what KK actually plays now. Howse 'bout you? Go KK authentic or color of choice?

Allthough I`m not a "V" guy,they are beautiful guitars and i would like to have one,so now it`s on to the ESP site for a George Lynch model I guess?

You know, that mini V is probably my least fav guitar. Not that I would run were someone to offer it to me but I still marvel at the beautiful tiger-striping of this '84 Hamer as I do the sound and look of the Gibson V.
I would love to try one of those KxKs just to feel the scalloped fingerboard. Robo used to swear by them. Where HAS that fellow gotten off to, btw? I miss his guitar expertise.
