Tokai do do a V, it's just finding one. And Tokai > All other guitar brands, especially when it comes to the Fender copies.

Guess who makes my guitar?

A highly under-rated guitar in my opinion, especially ones with P-90 pickups on them. My 3rd favourite Les Paul after the Custom with 3 pickups and the Les Paul Jr

I Play A Randy Rhodes Jackson Sig Guitar And An ESP EC-1000VB.

My Fav Bands Cradle Of Filth.(I Can Play Alot Of There Stuff)

And I've Been Playing For Over 4 years.

I detest all the guitars you just mentioned :P. Especially the Special. Its soo ugly its untrue. Looking at it makes me thing 'cheap and crap'. I can't stand it. The Jr's too small too. And I dislike that, plus it has a dotted fretboard. And LPs with a dotted fretboard look wrong.
And even though I love Customs, the three pickup one looks too cramped.

here are some guitar pics for you.

I'm saving up to buy a Ibanez IC4000. It's $500, so I'll be saving for over a year, selling shit and whatnot. I love the design.
Does any of you know if it's any good? In the shop page all the reviews ere straight 10's.

But the Special has that P-90 growl. And I think they look nice. Especially the Double cut In TV yellow.

The Jr's too small too. And I dislike that, plus it has a dotted fretboard. And LPs with a dotted fretboard look wrong.

The Jr is a small guitar I will agree, but I am not a big guy so I like the size. The growl that the single P-90 makes is one of the best sounds ever. And I like LPs with dotted fretboards anyway.

And even though I love Customs, the three pickup one looks too cramped.

Peter Frampton and Eric Clapton used them. That gives it instant god status.

You play through a 400 watt crate speaker cab?

How the hell does that work? :P

Say if I bought a Hello Kitty Squier, and wanted to transfer the bridge to a Floyd Rose esque one (with a locking nut obviously). How expensive would it be to change it (assume I got a profession to do it).

To get a genuine (hell, probably even a licensed) Floyd Rose fitted to the Hello Kitty Squier, it will be more than the cost of the actual guitar :P. I quite like the Hello Kitty Strat the way it is though. Hardtail Fenders are nice.

The only thing I don't like about the Hello Kitty Strat is that the Hello Kitty face isn't graphics on the guitar, it's actually the pickguard. Tacky or what?

...oh yeah!

Some kind of natural phenomenon is causing the guitar to output an amplified signal...all on it's own! :O

Thats part of the guitar's cool factor, it's so tacky it's great. I mean a cheap, pink, guitar with a cute face for a pickguard. What can go wrong?

At 7/31/06 06:05 AM, positively_negative wrote: What can go wrong?

My desire to purchase said guitar :D.

I'd rather just find a bog standard Squier Strat and airbrush it myself :P

Plus everyone knows a guitar sounds better when the pickups are bolted directly to the wood, rather than a big slab of plastic :)

Not that it matters when your axe is made out of low grade plywood, but whatever :P

squier strat is my second guitar and im only 5 months in!

haven't thought about airbrushing it though, dude, white would be so cool. is it even possible?

Yeah dude, it's definitely possible. It's pretty boring work though, and you have to be very careful, especially when stripping back the guitar body.

Welcome to the club :)

Is this the faded double cutaway. It's probably the same, I have got one and I would recomend it to anyone because it's great value plays and amazing and looks pretty good even the only reason i got it was cause it was the cheapest USA I could get.

Guys, I got my Iceman!! Not the best i know but its pretty damn good.

Look for a bassist. When my band got a kid with no experience on bass, we regretted it. Of course we kicked him out, but look for a bassist.

Check out my birthday present woo!!! When I get it I am putting a YJM in the neck pick up and probably a bill lawerence in the bridge.

Thats the one. They are very good guitars. If I could buy a new guitar it would be high on the list. Third in fact, after the Rickenbaker 360 and the Gibson ES-335.

Metaljonus, that is indeed one sweet axe. I almost bought a similar Squier last year. Fat strat with a floyd...but I eventually decided against it.

Interesting pickup combination you're going for there :). Yngwie lead tone with a Dimebag rythym tone :D

Ya I think the pup choice is going to be weird but I love the tone malmsteen gets using that pup in the neck.
