ezbass Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1337699273' post='1664147'] Oh, I dunno. I rather like this P/S Offset Special. It's so pink and cuuuuuuuute.

MoJoKe Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1337699069' post='1664141'] Is that a selector switch, then? Or the guitar equivalent of a third nipple?

simwells Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Apparently; "“Everything on this guitar is exactly as Zakk wanted it,” said Michael McGuire, Operations Manager of Gibson Custom, “including the pickup selector switch on the upper-rear point of the body.” A detail that might look a little odd at first glance, the selector switch is positioned for easy access in playing position — just one of the many little touches demanded by Wylde" Not sure how it could possibly not be in the way though.

Musky Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 [quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1337689909' post='1663982'] Been around a couple of years collecting abuse from all and sundry. Personally, of all Gibsons mistakes I'd like to own a Lawn Dart (reverse flying V). [/quote] A Corvus for me. I very nearly bought one in the nineties.

Maverick Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I don't mind it. Really. Also, that shape has been around a few years now, it's just in that finish that it's new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Well Zakk Wylde (oh, he of the inappropriate solo) plays his guitars almost vertical when soloing so that probably works quite well for him! But yeah it's a complete disaster. Truckstop Edited May 22, 2012 by Truckstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1337716921' post='1664540'] Well Zakk Wylde (oh, he of the inappropriate solo) plays his guitars almost vertical when soloing so that probably works quite well for him! But yeah it's a complete disaster. Truckstop [/quote] I like his riffs and ridiculous over use of pinch harmonics, and the way he used to solo when he first played with Ozzy... Messy pentatonic shredding doesn't excite me as much... Neither does his guitar... which when you hold it vertical it looks like a big ginger goatee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Oh god yeah I love his solos. Personal favourite is 'Lords of Destruction' off 1919 Eternal (great album by the way if you like biker metal) and also love his solo on 'Once More' off Hangover Music Vol.4. It's just so inappropriate, but so good! Truckstop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 [quote name='Earbrass' timestamp='1337686981' post='1663924'] A Flying SG? [/quote] or maybe an SV? Either way it's not going to win any beauty contests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Me neither but the fixed bridge and 'buckers combined with the sunburst finish looks very good. Seriously considered trading my Jazzmaster in for one.
