About once every 2-3 months.

The revelation for me yesterday was the Tremolux. If I sell my 18watt clone, that's what will replace it.

Seriously hot amp Pete!

It was about time I turned up at one of these gearfests. Nice to be some faces to the names.
Spent most of my time in the pointy department. Didn't want to show how tasteless my playing is with a clean tone of sorts :lol:

Rob's guitars are freaken sweeet. That ESP is drool material. And yea I guess that PRS was alright lol

Ed's Singlecut sounded huge! Kind of got scared so I put it down quickly and then tried the Ash Kelly...which was just amazing. Neck was nicely sized and the general craft of the instrument was something to behold.

Nice to get Dong's approve on my ESP MI Deluxe. Never though my little guitar could sound so heavy in standard tuning. Dong have approven himself to be the master of metal tones once again.

I've always heard Gelato was hell of a player, and it was cool to see him in action going nuts on Rob's ESP. As a matter of fact, I don't think anyone picked up that guitar and didn't have a go at being Yngwie/Petrucci/metal shred dude...now where's that pic of Benderissimo playing it :P

All in all good fun...I am now an convert ESP and PRS fan boy. Looks like got some playing to work on for the next one :D
Hmmm....Its niiiiiice

Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

Interesting... but when it comes to Tele's I'm a convservative bastard and it's just GOT to have the Fender headstock (not neccessarily the Fender name tho :wink: ) Cool guitar tho. Semi-hollow FTW !
