Time machine feels so good!
I own a 74 Tele Custom maple on a 79 strat body, i loved the wide spacing and the C-shape profile it fits perfectly in my palm. I got interested in Japanese Lawsuit guitars back in the 80's I could never get my hands on one until eBay I found a seller in the US about 5-6 years back (shipping was just too much from there to here). I bought an Orville LPS...it's an incredible guitar, I cannot say enough about the sustain and tone of this just over 10lbs guitar. I have been buying and searching for Japanese guitars ever since, the craftsmanship is just superb. I was playing an LTD MH-250 in a metal band and was done with that because my real passion is blues/rock (Trower, Gilmour, Scott Henderson, etc.), so I was in search of a Strat, I couldn't get the strat sound from the LTD, I eve put a single coil in the neck postition, but it just wasn't there. I looked at Tokai's and almost grabbed a Greco and a Fernandes Burny...but then I had forgotten about the Fender Japanese guitars...so this is what I found from a seller who had purchased these guitars brand new, he never got to playing them...not a surface mark on it anywhere, serial numbers all match up. all Crafted in Japan...and it feels so good!

If Robin Trower uses this, then I will too!
Emulates the old Shin Ei Univibe that Jimi and Robin both used.

1993 Marshall 1987 Vintage Series no FX Loop
Killer Marshall growl..this is the first reissue of this amp, it does not have the FX Loop, which many do not want, I didn't either. Powerful and ballsy!

I don't see a lot of the FX loop RIs around. They definitely sound different.

Anpther great versatile pedal
The DigiTech HardWire DL-8 is a delay and looper effect pedal that features stereo I/O with selectable tails and a choice of 11 delay types. Among the delays you can configure with the DL-8 are Analog, Lo-Fi, Tape, and Reverse. The DigiTech DL-8 pedal also provides up to 8 seconds of delay and 20 seconds of looping as well as functions like tap-tempo and more.

Great sounding cheap flanger
Got this rather cheap off eBay, all I wanted was something to lightly color my sound, works perfectly silent not noisey

works just like the rack mount
I used to use racks, I always employed a Rocktron Super C in my rack system.but all the cords were bugging me plus I had just switched over to vintage tube amps that didn't have FX Loops. This is a Super C in a pedal.

one of the best wahs
I used Dunlop wahs like everyone else for years wondering why I never got those killer wah sounds people like Robin Trower got...it was the crap Dunlop!!! I learned how to get better tones out of one and started modding Dunlop wahs. i did a very good job, but there's only so much one can do using a crap wah to mod in the first place. Heard about Fulltone, checked out the Clyde...fell in love with it and got the Deluxe and I still use it!

1989 Orville Les Paul Cherry Burst
Excellent guitar Authorized by Gibson made in the famous Fujigen factory in Japan. the quality of these guitars were as good if not better than a USA made Gibson, these were made with a longer tenon at the neck joints making them stronger and having better sustain.

2011 ESP LTD EC-1000 Deluxe
Excellent guitar 24 frets, real abalone binding throughout the guitar, it's "Set-through" neck which is a partial full neck through. I swapped out the EMG 81/60 set for the 57/66 in gold...wow!

2011 ESP LTD MH-250
Fast neck through guitar, excellent unobtrusive neck/body joint. Swapped the EMG 85 at the neck for an EMG H, a ceramic magnet single coil in a humbucker cover for blues rock.
