Battle-Axes.




Heh, its been a while.


Seemingly random a post today, my dear lifeless friend has not had any limelight except for the jamming sessions and gigs,so i might as well shed a light on him/her/it.
Its none other than my very own six stringed warmaster holocaust bringer aka my guitar. =.="

Its my second and most comfortable and definitely fail proof Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus. Affectionately known as "Cherry" due to its colour scheme and a personal tribute to the only person who knows me best inside out ((other than my parents)) ,Charisma.


Bought it when i got sliiiightly better at guitar back in october(date forgot,sigh) 2006 when i finally learnt my first song and knew more chords, hahahaha, priced at $630, it was a wallet bomber of course but now its money well spent. But of course any guitar lacks character if its not modded. =P
Its now loaded with Seymour Duncan SH-2 Jazz and SH-5 Custom pickups(the black thingy with screws) at the neck and bridge respectively , potentiometers of volume and tone knobs are changed to some japanese brand called Gotoh , toggle switch swapped for an all metal Korean one (trust me, country of origin in VERY impt. in the guitar world,lol) and lastly the capacitors are also swapped out from shitty noisy ones to orange droplet capacitors, and thus a guitar of my dreams is born and another $500 poorer i have grown over the past years. 

Its strings are in the gauge of 11 through 52,Beefy Slinky, which is kinda uncommon as most people i know use 9 through 42,Super Slinky, but fabian want thicker and chunkier sound you see, but the payoff is more tired hands lor. =D  and and and ALWAYS! use Ernie Ball!!

Also, many stickers adorn its face due to some funny creative thinking i possess, from black metal band stickers to miley cyrus covered by a decepticon logo and stuff. Its all in the spirit of ruggedness though. =P












(sorry, its been a good 2 months since i last changed the strings, rustbucket!)
Alas, that ends the insight to my machine of music(if you can call it that, =P) and its been a great 3 years and hopefully much more!=D
