Butchered Kramer Baretta?

Not fair using Wayne's bandwidth for that... drop me a line if you want to use my server as a cheap image host...

No! That would be wrong - this started out as a BC Rich. Dunno if you remember the ones made in the late 80's with the really ugly headstocks. Hard to tell because in the first pic, it had already had bits sliced off it.

Thanks - figured it was time for another guitar thread anyhow.

Instead of using Pelican, why don't you open a free account at photobucket.com, then link from their. I just linked this photo from photobucket.com

It is great wayne allows photo hosting for this board, many others do not, and uploading/linking is a pain in the arse...

Don't abuse it by using his bandwidth for other boards or ebay.

Alright already - seem to be a lot of people clicking here to check out the pics so whats the difference between this thread and the "I'm a desperate married man please post pics of chicks in bikinis" thread?

"I'm a desparate married chick. Please post pics of guitars in bikinis, please..."

Can someone please link me to the thread that says we shouldn't use Wayne's bandwidth to post pictures of things like this and that we should all use our photobucket accounts instead?

Nice work, BTW, Victor. Thanks for sharing.

For all the Gibson haters out there...I just had to buy this a couple of weeks ago. Wine Red Studio. Got a deal on it. I love it. I've never been a huge fan of gold hardware, but this thing plays wonderfully and has some great tone. Great tone...wow...

(teaser...)

I'll post some luthier magic for the Gibson haters later today or tomorrow :)

Nice work Vic. Is that still a BC rich body ? Or was it just the neck. I own a couple of BC's in the 80's, and just didnt like the feel, or sound of them. GREAT work with making the new neck.:cool:

Thats a nice LP IROC.

I picked up this LTD Swamp Ash Studio down in Hollywood GC a few summer ago. I really wasn't a LP fan because they felt uncomfortable when playing them, till I picked up this one......

I'm really not a fan of gold hardware on guitars either, but have to live with it on my RR Jackson. The tone/feel out weighs that issue, lol.

PS to Victor. I use Photobucket myself, and it works great for hosting/storing your photos (not riding you, just giving you a free ave for your picture storage.)

Yes - the body is BC Rich. Although no longer metallic hot pink the way it left the factory. Replaced the bridge humbucker with a Symour Duncan "custom custom".

IROC - that is a nice Studio. I actually like the "no frills" look of these things and have one myself. It's the "MKIV" or something - it has 3 pickups (the middle bing single) and a strat 5 way + a coil tap. Must be the most versatile LP out there. Will take some shots tonight and post 'em.

I bought an LP Studio new back in the 90s. Within 1 year all of the cheap hardware broke off of it. Tuning pegs all broke, knobs all fell off. Even the frets started popping up.

Gratuitous photo of my most recent luthier hand built '59 LP replica. Yes, thats eastern maple and a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard :)
