Gear 31

The cherry red Baretta was the first really good/top-end guitar I owned. The black Focus I picked up because of the headstock.
The Vintage Plus I received years ago from my now beautiful wife Amy, it was a surprise Christmas gift, thanks Birdie. The Eclipse is a Semi-Hollow Body with a red glitter paint job. Got this because I love the color red and I saw that George Lynch owned a silver one.
Sweet guitar, fatter frets, Duncan "JB" Humbucker in the bridge and a beautifully sanded headstock. The patch behind the bridge is in memory of a friend of mine who passed away, he went by the name Rondo, that's how the guitar got it's name. R.I.P. Buddy.
This is a parts guitar which ended up turning out AWESOME!! Has a Duncan "JB" pickup, two piece bridge system which I believe I bought from Stew Mac. Had the pickguard made, one volume and a toggle for that cut pickup sound. The neck is a Dean Michael Schenker that I bought online and has Gotoh tuning pegs....I think . This guitar plays GREAT!! Schenker RULES!!
Here are four DIME guitars I own. The Razorback was one of four or five prototypes for a NAMM show which was introducing the Dean DIME Razorback Series. The guitar has no serial number and is autographed by Dean himself....NICE:-) R.I.P. DIME
The JEM is my brother Mark's which he has allowed me to display in my guitar museum. This JEM has the actual floral fabric underneath the clear coat. The Kamikaze is mine and it's something I've just always wanted to own.
The guitar, as you can tell, I dressed up in Superman stickers. The bass I kinda just wanted to have around. They both play very good and they both are red:-)
I know it's not right to buy clone guitars but there is no way I am ever going to be able to afford to buy the real thing. If I could I'm not even sure I'd want to play it because of the cost. This guitar, believe it or not, is actually very cool. I had it set up and it plays GREAT!! It looks cool and I'm not afraid to play it. ACE RULES!!
Again I had to have it and it plays pretty cool. Not the real thing but looks pretty neat and not a bad guitar for being a clone.
Well DIME RULES and so does this head. Looks cool, sounds amazing and is endorsed by DIME. When I spoke to the KRANK people and mentioned my serial number they said it is a very early one, one of the first sent out to a customer or to anybody for that matter.
Got mine right when they first came out, I have a very early one. The amp is amazing, in fact I believe it's the amp that is currently in my road case right now. The dirty tone is AMAZING and is exactly what I like. I dig all the other amps I own but this amp is something else:-)
I use mine for clean guitar tones and my goodness are they good cleans.
I use this amp all the time. Great amp, easy to take with you (which I do from time to time). It's compact and sounds excellent.
The two Kramer amps are cool just because their Kramer amps, one for guitar and one for bass. The Zakk Micro Stack is cool and it sounds amazing. Three pieces which is nice in case you just want to use the half stack. Cool cleans and dirties up real nice, has a fine reverb as well.
I've owned mine for a very long time. The preamp sounds AWESOME when it's working right. I've always had problems with it, I use to bring it in all the time for repair. Again the three channels (2 - Dirty & 1 - Clean) sound AMAZING and I'm pretty sure I'll never get rid of it, even though I don't trust it to function on stage anymore. If you can find one buy it, I'm sure you'll love it.
Great sounding preamp and can achieve very heavy tones. Hard to find but if your using a good power amp and dig heavy tunes buy one you'll love it.
I use to own two of these and now I own one. The one I have kept is one of the early ones that has George Lynch's autograph on the jack plate and the handles are on the side of the box. George hand signed a few early on and than they began printing his signature on the plates. I mentioned to Genz Benz that I noticed George was using these wooden slip covers for his cabinets while on tour. They told me that they do not regularly produce these but since I noticed George using them they said they would build me one and they did:-)
Front of house has to love it when they see a guitar player with one of these. Your able to dump db's without changing the tone of your amp, you might hear a little change but not much. Great piece of gear and comes in handy when playing at home, let's say through a Marshall:-)
My first wah pedal and the thing took a beating. I still have it but I believe it's not working at this time. I took the rubber stopper off of the pedal to attempt to get more range. Learned that from a very dear friend of mine. R.I.P. Rondo
Cool pedal and a pretty cool range. I like the chrome top:-)
