What are you G.A.S.ing for right now?

[slashvanyoung]

I need, don't care what ANYONE says...a Gibson Les Paul JR Billie Joe Armstrong signature model. don't care what people think, I'm in a wheelchair, got small hands, love the tone haha

Nice guitar? But why not a regular Jr, with the same specs for less cash? Or a Melody Maker for much much less, which is very similar?

 

[ADRSean]

I don't know. I've never even looked into a Melody Maker even. I own a Les Paul Studio, it's a bit too big for me. (And yes, I am completely broke so yeah hah)

They really aren't much different. The Jr has a P90 (which is easier to replace) and a different headstock... but that's about it.

Love my Melody Maker. Considered selling it because I'm a Tele fanatic, but I couldn't let go lol.

Thanks for he tip.

Want this guitar so bad, the hardware/pickup upgrades that guy did to it look so nice

I'd rock it if it didn't have inlays.

 

[Joematthews]

It's so distasteful. I love it

Only person who can get away with a Xiphos is Muhammed Suicmez, but that's because he's small and german and musclebound and odd.
I've never seen anyone else pull off using one without looking silly

 

[Forceps]

I'm gassing for a better DI box, and it's gonna be the BSS AR-133!

Dude, usually I'm not a fan of the X-TREME METULZ shapes, but man is that gorgeous, mostly because of the color scheme

That looks uncomfortable to play. Strap buttons are in ridiculous places.

Schwaaaat? It'll balance fine and won't dip forward (away from body, in a bonerly direction) like it would if you had the strap near the neck joint or on the back of the horn.

Those xyphos actually look better than they do in pics, IMO. I really like tha kinda gray-ish military green finish they put on the 27-fret one, myself.

 

[GarethSE]

My bud simon had one with a metallic green finish, looked fugly. Haha.

 

[Rex Rocker]

^The chameleon finish? Yeah, not a big fan of that either.

Anyway, I'm GASing for:

 

[Metaltastic]

Interesting, that one looks pretty cool in a minimalist sorta way - neck-thru?

 

[Rex Rocker]

The RG? Yep, RGT6EXFX. Neckthru with mahogany wings.

I like the new version with the Gibraltar-whatever bridge. I didn't quite like the Fender-style bridge on the old one.

 

[exoslime]

I´m Gasing for a Marshall Vintage Modern now,
i played one on friday with a Gibson Jimmy Page No.Two Les Paul VOS, and it sounded awesome..
Amazing Rock Tone, my fav. Marshall Tone i have heard (not recorded, but in front of me, live) since many years.

but the guitar wasnt bad either

 

[Metaltastic]

I heard a clip from a recent album of some washed-up hair metal band (I think Whitesnake ), and as I recall the guitarist was using a Vintage Modern, the tone was incredible
