This is my music page. This is just some info on my guitars, some sound clips of me playing some cool stuff on them, and a few lessons on how to rule at guitar. As time has progressed and my collection of guitars has grown, I need more pictures. Not to worry, They shall all be up really soon!! Just send me emails and bug me about it until I get it done.
I
currently own my own recording studio, Bunghole Studios. Current
location is inside my room. Call for bookings today!

My guitars
Fender Stratocaster
This is my Strat. I got this on my 10th birthday. Actually,
it's a Squier Strat, made by Fender,
a cheaper made one than the actual Fender Strat. No one really ever
notices or gives a rat's ass about it though. :) It has three single
coil pickups (not bad for a Strat) for bridge, middle, and neck positions,
one volume and two tone controls, a 5-way pickup switcher, some kind of
tremolo made on Fenders and other guitars that don't have Floyd Roses
on them (I call them crap-o-matics), maple neck and fingerboard with 21
frets . Due to my inexcessive playing of this guitar, I have no idea in
hell what strings I have on it.
Ibanez RG 270-B
My Ibanez RG 270-B model.
It was a Music Emporium exclusive
guitar advertised in their Spring '97 update. Only about 325 or 350
of these were made for this special deal, and I'm one of those lucky few
hundred!! :) This guitar is equipped w/ EMG 81 and 85 pickups and
strung with GHS Boomers 11-50.
Ovation acoustic/electric
One of the newer members of the group (August '98), the Applause (by
Ovation) AE68 model. I ordered it from Musician's
Friend (a very trustworthy place to order music equipment). It
has a super shallow body design (for all those old-fashioned fat flat acoustic
guitar haters such as me), a built-in acoustic pickup (it's hidden!!!)
with volume and tone controls, a laminated spruce top, nato neck, rosewood
fingerboard (20 fret just like all the other acoustics) and bridge, and
a cutaway design for easy access to those upper frets. I use Martin
strings on this thing, because Martins kick ass.
Jackson JR-20 Pro Rhoads
(Evil Smurf)
My fourth guitar, the Jackson Rhoads JR-20 Pro. I also ordered this
through Musician's Friend (I swear, they LOVE me!!). It comes equipped
with a maple neck and ebony fingerboard with 22 frets, an original
Floyd Rose Tremolo, kickass body design, and Metallic Blue finish (it looks
better than the pic, trust me). It has EMG 81 and 85 pickups and GHS Boomers
11-50.
M-207 7 String
No pic yet
The 5th arrival of my arsenal. It comes equipped with Duncan
designed humbuckers, Floyd Rose tremelo, arrowhead inlays, a reverse headstock,
and of course, the low B string. Of course, Musician's Friend got
me the guitar (they REALLY love me now!). Hopefully I'll get EMG
707's on this thing soon.
Samick Custom
The guitar from hell has come into the bedroom of that guy who won't quit buying guitars! I don't know much about this guitar since I bought it used, but it has a cool airbrush finish of the Grim Reaper's face. This thing doesn't sound that bad, but it's nothing compared to EMG's (I'm such a brown-noser aren't I?) It was well worth my $250. It is currently being used as my "shit-metal" guitar, meaning I play Godsmack and low-tuned stuff on it. I have 13 gauge strings on it so i can tune the thing down low.
Samick 5 string bass
Haha! A bass guitar! Would you look at that? I bought this from a friend along with an old Kustom cabinet for $200. As far as strings go, whatever came with the guitar. They haven't popped on me yet.
Jackson Performer Series Rhoads (Lucretia)
The second Jackson to come into my life. Extremely lightweight, but plays well. Hasn't been touched in months.
Gibson Les Paul Special SL Humbucker
This is the guitar I've been waiting for my entire life! You know what people tell you about Les Pauls? It's all true. This is truly one bad mother fucker. EMG 81 and 85 pickups and GHS Boomers 11-50, just like most of my other guitars.
Some late 80's Charvel (Criss)
I'm not sure whether this is a real Charvel or not, but I don't care. Chrome hardware, maple neck, Floyd Rose tremolo. When I bought it, it already had EMG's in it. The humbucker is an 81, but I was unable to pull the single coil out so I could see what model it was. GHS Boomers 11-50 on this guitar.
Future guitars
After playing around with lots of guitars at music shops and flipping
through magazines, I have decided on guitars that I would like to have in the
future. Here are the guitars and the reasons why I want them.
