well. . .its cost me 260 so far. . .and thats fro the neck and body. i have chrome hardware, but if i do black it will cost extra, as i dont have it. . .so i think i will do chrome. all i need is a real floyd rose bridge and thats that. . .so in theory, this entire project, to build a bolt one original randy rhoads guitar. . .about 300-350 bucks.

I know it is too late but it would have been sweet to reverse neck it with an Ibenez neck, to poke a finger up the colon of traditionalist!
ps. Bob link me a page where I can find Janis gear set up! (sonata arctica, whiskey causing stupidity at the moment, been out celebrating a friend getting married again, oh my head. NOW LINK THAT SHIT!
oh my head]there is no link that i know of. . .but once i find a way to rip this DVD i have, he explains his setup in his section.
in general, Jani Laiimitainen uses Marshall gear
Custom Ibanez RG, Mahogony body with a maple top, 24 fret maple neck with Ebony fretboard, frets 20-24 scalloped. He uses Dimarzio pickups, one is an Air Norton, i cant remember what his other one is.
Marshall JMP-1 Preamp
Marshall 9200 Power amp
Marshall 300 Watt Cabinets
Have fun getting all that. . .
and just for the record. . .Toose, who voted in the poll but has yet to ever post, is mixing a BC rich NJ warlock, and a Jackson neck. I'm not to into mixing parts up like that. . .i prefer to stay as standard as possible. im not even happy with the DK2 neck, i would have liiked to have a DK1, which has an ebony fretboard.

I fucking luv having a troo guitar nerd to bounce facts on. *bows head to ultimate bob* How much would this gear run me ( Though I am looking for the "silence" set-up). I am in awe of that record...
Radio 42.7.365 played the same song back to back!
that is so cheap!that gear will generally run you. . .about $3700, if you are lucky. fucking expensive, i know. . .but if you want that tone, thats what you can use. . .the JMP-1 is a great tool for tone shaping. . .it has tons of tones, and you can tweak em anyway you like. . .i think the best SA sound, IMO, is the rythym distortion sound on "My Land." its just so rich and full. . .i love it. . .but thats what he uses, you can use a basic RG guitar and put the pickups in it, it make no difference. . .but Jani's pickups are not in a ring like most PU's are. They are bolted directly into the cavity, to increase sustain and resonance. hope you get it, and when you do, sample recordings are a must.
