Search for the most 80's guitar EVER!!!!

[Horus]

I'm on a search for the most 80's guitar ever. By 80's guitar, I mean some Pics, descriptions, whatever you have. Here's what I'm looking for:

- Crazy Body Shape
- Color
- Design
- Company
- Random Features (Scalloped Fretts, Pickup array, etc.)





I'll start. My guitarrist's new weapon, a.k.a. the Helm of Valhala!

- Kramer body
- Fender Strat Neck with Scalloped Fretts
- White and Neon Yellow fade with Tiger Stripes finish with matching headstock
- One single solitary Seymour Duncan JB humbucker with one single solitary volume knob
- Original, actually from the 80's Floyd Rose bridge

Lynch's Esp guitars had some great 80's type graphic's...

 

[Yngvai X]

Charvels, Kramers, BC Rich...all make me think of the 80s.

And the J Frog Lynch skull & bones guitar:

Also the ESP guitars that Akira Takasaki from Loudness plays, which are similar to the Killer guitars' random star shapes:

this is a particularly gaudy finish. Makes me wanna tease my hair

Randy Rhoad's polka dot flying v


Randy Rhoads is the first thing that comes to mind when i think 80's metal. Him just going to work of that awesome flying v.

total sweetness....

 

[Horus]

I actually know someone who owns a Jackson custom shop remake of that Randy Rhoads flying V. Perfectly remade, down to the littlest details. Plays like a GOD!!!!

 

[War_Blade]

aw fucken sweet!!!


I have never stolen anything in my life, but if I saw that work of art, I dont think I could stop myself...


If I ever win powerball... I swear im going buy like 1000 custom shops!!!!!

 

[Horus]

If you win powerball,
A) Get custom shops of all the guitars in this thread
B) Can I borrow some money?

 

[War_Blade]

hmmm, i have an idea...

after i win powerball:

I build i big ass house with speakers and amps all over the place. Then i invite SX fans to come live in it with me. Then I buy like every custom shop guitar i can think off. Then I invent SX over and we have the ultimate shred session!!!!

I super laughed when I saw the Explorer model was called the Exploder

Yeah, I like the Hydra in leopard skin myself.

How could anyone go past the Washburn EC-29/36 with that mantle crackle finish?

I believe MJR is the proud owner of one himself.

Crackle finish & flouro was trademark 80's for me

And the extra frets on the EC29 & EC36 epitomised the excessiveness of 80's culture.

man i have been lusting after his heart guitar for like like 6 months now, every time i see that sxy beast i just wanna pick it up and shred. Wonder if he would ever sell it...

 

[Julz]

I think he auctioned it off for a kids charity years ago.

He might have another one though, I'm not sure

 

[Horus]

I wouldnt be surprised if he did.
