YES ! THANK YOU ! THIS HAS BEEN DRIVING ME NUTS FOR ALMOST A YEAR !  I had even posted on Vivian's web site in "ask Viv", but I never got a response. Everyone kept telling me I was nuts and it's a Nightswan. I knew it wasn't, but could not remember the name for the life of me.

| If memory serves me correctly, that guitar in the Whitesnake video is a Rand. Prior to the Nightswans, Vivian never really had a sponsorship. Although he was given a Charvel, Charvel/Jackson players never got a sponsorship deal other than one free guitar a year. |

Yes, as in Buddy Blaze, but the maker of the guitar came to M.I. and tried to sell them to us and it wasn't him. They were $1200, but he'd be willing to deal if we could order 3 or more. Yeah, right ! M.I. students are even poorer than other students.

I know I've been down this road before, but this is the guitar I'm talking about. It's NOT a Blaze. Trust me. I met the maker at M.I.T. Baddest axe I've ever played. AND I MEAN EVER ! See Vivian. www.youtube.com/watch |

This band was "IT". Damn Yankees fuckin' rocked ! Wrong time and got a label put on them. Too bad. Great players and great chemistry.

My fingers are too short. I have to have the thin and narrow necks. The easiest guitar I ever played was one of the "snake skin" style Warren DiMartini guitars made by Performance. It seemed so small. They told me they had scaled it down a little for easier playing, but I wouldn't know if that's true or not. All I know is my little hands got around that neck like . . . . .

They have 2 or 3 versions of the neck,each one is a progression of the last one. They are amazing. My personal favorite for necks is still the Jackson dual compound radius necks though. I like them wide and flat. The Ibanez Wizards are actually thinner than the Jackson`s but the same(or nearly) the same width. either one is a beauty to hold!!

I never played an SG before, but it looks cool to me. I specialy like it how the highest notes are very accesible (or seem to be, anyway). On a strat, I almost have to break my fingers when I want to play above the 17th fret on the low strings.
| | | TIMBONI wrote: | | | From my experience, I think the reason that people say the SG has such a fast neck is because it's so much sleeker than a Les Paul or any other Gibson that I've ever played. Flater, narrower and just plain easier to get around. I'd still toss it aside for an Ibanez for playing ease though. |
