I brought the guitar secondhand with the same black hardware Steve has on his Jem eg edge rather than Lo-pro etc. The mini switch gets me the neck position single coil. The plastic is very vintage looking but this doesn't come out on the pictures for some reason and the guitar is well used with chips all over it like Steves Evo so I thought I would write Evo on it and dress it up like Steves guitar. I'm tring to find the material Steve write "Knox" on but so far I can't source it. The funny thing is I'm not even a Vai fan, I do respect him as a genius but I'm more into Peter Green, Hendrix and Page type guitar players.

Picked up a Gibbo Explorer when in LA last week - I was set on a LP DC until I saw this, looks tight in the natural finish and the gutiar plays very sweet even off the shop floor. It was a massvie bitch to bring through customs as it weighed a ton but I didn't get stung on duty, didn't even get second look. I tried one in artic white as well, which just didn't sound as sweet as this one. The pickups are the 496/500 ceramic set and more versatile than expected for ceramics - the clean tones through a Twin were almost as good as the dirty ones when I cranked a Marshall Kerry King JCM800 head (which itself is pretty brutal). The case looks sharp in white as well.

Aslo in the poor quality pics (my camera is playing up, a few too many drunken drops I think), I collected an Orange Mini-Crush, which will now be my late night jam amp. I've got a crapload of guitar shop pictures to post as well, Guitar Centre blows the Rip Shop away in both selection and service - the staff were super helpful, not condescending and negotiable more than expected... I got a good deal on the Explorer.

cool mate, looks like a stunner. You do realise that its bigger than you though?

[Jenesis]

Yep, looks nice alright.

That amp is miniscule!

Here's a pic i got of EVO at the start of last year if it helps

The Tape looks to me like the bandage material tape you get from the chemist....

[robnobcorncob]

The material he's used for that purpose [string not getting stuck under the pickup or whatever...] has changed greatly over the years numerous times. Used to be green tape with 'KONX' and before that I don't recall... I haven't seen it like the picture above before though, cool!

[angry_young_poet]

nice squier voxshall. probably the tweed case is more expensive

[Voxshall]

Ha ha yeah.

[philipnz]

Nice and simple. Hollowbody has a piezo pickup

[hamo]

Ha, simply 3 months pay...

[Terexgeek]

Nice Phillipnz, have you always had that tasty pair or are those new to the collection

[philipnz]

They're all i've been using for over 2 years now. Almost 100 gigs. A few things have come and gone meantime but not used live.

Those are some pretty attractive work horses

I hope they'll be at the gearfest
