The nice thing about customs is having a fiddle made personally to your own spec. Everything from neck thickness, to type of frets, and so on. If done properly the custom will fit you perfectly. It allows you to really get the sounds you are looking for.

I love that bass. Geddy Lee is an animal on 4 strings.

I have one more custom coming. An ESP MII with a 5A maple cap and scalloped frets. A friend of mine did a mock up for me and the flame on this one should be amazing.



This is my other Suhr, a Lime Green Freeze, it's a satin finish but the paint is pearlescent so it looks crazy in the sun.



One of my personal favorite's right here. A Charvel USA Custom Shop San Dimas Primer Scream Robin's Egg Blue with custom DiMarzio pickups specially made for this guitar.

Tone Zone (b), and Liquid Fire (n)

The Jackson is pure metal madness. EMG 81x (b) and 85x (n) makes the output insane. I play it through a Bogner Twin Jet or my Splawn Nitro usually jamming to thrash or speed metal.

The ESP E-II 27 fret has an interesting wiring scheme and the TB-14 is a Custom 5 bridge pickup, not many use it. It has a huge bass response and an extremely sharp attack for solo's.


To go with the Jackson King is my Jackson USA select RR1 Lightning. It has DiMarzio's with ceramic magnets so the output is sky high.










Splawn Nitro



My Mesa Boogie mini-rectifier



Behind the Dime Slime and the natural stealth is my Custom red Bogner Twin Jet.

The natural Dean Stealth has a set of Bare Knuckle Pickups in it called Painkillers which will give you a rip your face off 80's metal sound. They are ceramic pups with a good chunk of bass, high mids, and lots of treble.

The Dime Slime is currently getting a set of Seymour Duncan Black Winters.

Here are some of my guitars, oddly enough I don't have a picture of the green one after I finished it. The Mg Marshall actually crapped out on me, but I love the peavey head so its ok now.

I'm kinda weird with band members and arguments about names and such. In fact there are people I've played with that I've never spoken to. I can't be near my rig without playing it.

When the other member start gabbing I start jamming, a name will come up some where at some point.

LSA's would cool be though.

Did you buy those guitars or Frankenstein them? Like DIY. That's a great collection! I love the ValveKing. Never owned one but played one many times and always got a great sound out of it, no fuss, no boosting, It's what I call a players amp.

If you need a new cab for about half the price of the big name brands look at Avatarspeakers.com. They built me a 4x12 loaded with V30's and it stands up just fine to my Splanws and Mesa cabs. Total custom and much more affordable.
