buddy brought my guitars up for me and i've been getting back into playing. just a few pics of how they litter the living room

here's Diana, a Jackson Randy Rhoads flying V with a Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup (i love it)

here's a guitar that i built out of some spare parts, its heavy as hell and i'm going to be throwing some better pickups in it soon

Here's Nicole, my Ibanez RG350DX, love this guitar, played her a lot in bands and she was my go-to church guitar when i was playing there

here's one with my gf's Epiphone Les Paul junior....still trying to teach her a little bit

and here's my pride and joy Kylie (left) she's a Jackson JDR-94 and she's my soulmate as far as guitars go. I played that guitar in the store and HAD TO HAVE HER. I put a Seymour Duncan Invader in the neck position, and then a Seymour Duncan "Performer series Detonator" in the bridge. It's the same thing as the Invader but made in Korea or so they say. My ears can tell the difference between that pickup and the one in my V. Mary (right) is the first decent guitar that i bought. its just a Silvertone by brand...but plays on par with most Gibsons that i've played.

that's not even the whole collection! i'll be bringing the rest up next time i go to see my parents, i'll be bringing my home made wall hangers too. just some shovel hangers that were about 2 bucks a piece instead of paying 20 bucks each.
 
they are all nice dude! i really like the red "diana" one and the white one is super nice too. i laughed when i saw the guitar hero guitars sitting there too, thats the only guitar i can play, one with colored buttons and one string lmao :D
 
nice collection bro, got any vids of you playin out there floatin around ??
back when i was in high school i saw ozzy, on the "blizzard of oz" tour, and i saw randy rhodes play the flying v from about ten rows deep, awsome
haha, just looked it up,
it was may 8 1981, johnstown war memorial arena

rhoads is up there in my favorites. i put a different neck on the V because it had a dot neck and i wanted the shark fins. sad part is the dot neck played a TON better.

thanks for the compliments guys, i don't think that there are any vids out there, i might make some though. i'm rusty as hell right now but hey its all good.

o yeah, brando's got a new project starting :D just got another ibanez neck in the mail with a green vine of life inlay.

gonna be throwing this neck on nicole to make sure its all kosher before buying a body. i've been using this to help figure out colors

just did a little more research, the neck is for an ibanez jem counterfeit that are made in china (this is becoming a SERIOUS problem). it seems straight so i'll be giving it a try and if its junk it'll look pretty on the wall


looks like its a practice neck, the truss rod doesn't work and it doesn't fit the guitar body right, the neck is too narrow.


time to practice refretting on it so i don't f*ck up on the V!

awk ya lucky bastard!!!!!....really wish i couldve saw randy play!
 
too bad on the conterfiet, but the vines are cool, kinda like the tat i want my ol' lady to get, startin on the inner thigh and wrappin around once then up the hip and around the lower back, maybe end on the opposite ass cheek!!!! hahahaaa
 
haha yeah, that's what drew me to the neck, o well, the hardware on it is worth what i paid for it so i'm not too bummed out. i do want to build another guitar though and need to find something to start with
 
here's an epic fail at trying the intro to Slayer's Raining Blood.......then some sloppy riffing around. brando needs more practice to get back in shape!
