I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.

Vic just got a boner! :P :P :P

LMAO at the Floyd Rose comments! That sucker is a Kahler!

But yeah! It was obvious John used a wang guitar on the album...what a tone. Those Boogies were cranked!

Looks like a P90 in the neck position????

That's pretty cool, but Floyd Rose, lol.

Looks like a P90 in the neck. Probably changed pickups a few tims with a different pickguard.

Good to see him with a Charvel, and yeah, same time as Gary was playing Charvels.

Then the highest profile player on Charvel/Jackson's register moved over to Ibanez! :P :P :P

And sold the most artist models, outside of a Les Paul. :D :D :D

Because Charvel make you pay (albeit less than regular) for your guitars and Ibanez and ESP were giving them away for free to the whores.

When you see someone playing a Charvel or a Jackson you know they are playing the best guitar because they paid for it, everyone else, are getting a guitar for free, but they ain't ever going to complain about it.
