LOVE these. I had the privilege of borrowing these and a pair of Event Opal. I know many really like the Opals, but the Tridents were just totally right for me.

Plan on getting the 1081 as well for the extra band and more specific boosts for drums/bass. The 73 is just for nice gentle high shelf's and smooth mid colouring atm.
 
So you went with the LTD after all, love the look :) how's the sound and feel of the guitar? Is it made in SK?
Oh I kinda lied... it's ordered and I haven't tried yet lol but knowing me and talking with my uncle who got the same, the neck should be exactly what I'm looking for (Ibanez Wizard II is my favorite neck and quite like the fat necks on Schecter. However, reaching the 24th fret on my Schecter is a pain). I think it is still made in SK. One of my point with SK is that I believe they like their job more (and have better conditions) and to me that reflects in the final product on a non-aesthetic level.

Hopefully the customs won't rape my wallet in the ass with these.

Went on a snare-buying frenzy the past week and a half. Here's the one I have pictures of - An M4 Drum Co. 14x8" Walnut stave w/ maple inserts. Sounds glorious! :D
 
This week i put in a 60GB SSD and 8GB RAM in my 2009 MacBook Pro. $200 with 1 day shipping and customs fees. Fucking fast now! Gonna have to upgrade my iMac drive to SSD.

Also I traded a few hours of overdub work for an SM57.

You don't need pics of this.

Received a week ago my new MBP, with PCIe based SSD and all. Damn, I can reboot in like 10 to 20s and that's including the fact it is almost fully loaded with all my softwares and all. Installed a virtualized Windows 8 I can boot or quit in about... 5s ? I load a full reaper project in about 1 to 10s depending on the vsts (can take 20s if there is a lot of ilok based plugins). Cannot live without SSD anymore !
 
I got this thing is on its way to me right now:

Got a good deal on it and couldn't resist. These original 430 models apparently have both input and output transformers and sound closer to the original 110, or at least sound better than the later ISA stuff (Like the MKII). I have no idea if that'll be true in practice but i'm pretty happy to add a channel strip to my setup. I've been wanting to add some EQ to my tracking setup for a while, and the routing flexibility on this looks pretty sweet for both mixing and tracking.
