Main Guitar Used:
Jackson JS30RR Rhoads (blue)(my second axe)
Secondary: Fender Mexican Stratocaster (arctic white)(also is my first electric axe)
Played through a:
Line 6 Spider III 75 :metal
Secondary: Crate FlexWave 15
With these effects:
Sometimes reverb. I have a Boss DS-2 (Turbo Distortion)(rarely in use), Boss PW10 V-Wah (sometimes in use), and the Boss ME-20 Multiple Effects processor (rarely in use).
What is your dream guitar?:
My vintage taste has recently picked up on this Eastwood AIRLINE® '59 2P :hat
(https://www.eastwoodguitars.com/GTRs/airline59custom2p/images/gtr_Red-airline59-2P.jpg)
For metal, something with a double locking tremolo bridge and must be good quality, so possibly an Ibanez RG.
Favorite guitarist player/idol:
I have lots. As of late, I can't think of much. Petrucci and Lifeson are most relevant perhaps.
Other influences:
British heavy metal (Black Sabbath), Prog. Rock (most notably Rush), the big four thrash bands, DT, and Santana is awesome. That's most I think.
I've been playing for a year and about 8 months.
Lately I've been practicing on several techniques. 4 fingered tapping, vibrato like usual, and pretty much alternate picking.

Main Guitar Used: Jackson Dinky (without Floyd Rose) EMG 81's
Played through a: Microcube! I've also got a 100w Marshall combo but it's not great.
With these effects: On the Microcube, nothing. Maybe a tiny bit of reverb when I'm soloing. On the Marshall, Digitech RP300. Don't use many of the effects though. Noise gate, wah, distortion, volume control and chorus occasionally.
What is your dream guitar?: PRS. Currently looking into something with a Floyd Rose for my soloing though (any suggestions? I'm looking around the £700GBP mark).
Favorite guitarist player/idol: Tricky one. I'd have to say Nuno Bettencourt though.
Other influences: John Petrucci. Mikael Akerfeldt.

Signal path: Wireless - DOD 7band EQ pedal - Crybaby Wah - ADA MP-1 Tube Preamp (BBE 362 Sonic Maximizer in FX loop) - Alesis Quadraverb - ADA Microtube 100 power amp - cab with 4 Celestion 70W speakers (I should be pushing them a lot harder or get some lower wattage speakers, I guess). Switching is controlled via 7 pin midi cable by a Rolls MP-128 Midi Buddy .
What is your dream guitar?: Either this (https://img.web66.com.tw/_file/C7/73850/AB/1235025735139pic1.jpg) or this (https://elliejim.co.uk/quicksilver/jem77bfp_large.png).
Favorite guitarist player/idol: Paul Gilbert
Other influences: Satch, Vai, Frehley, others I'm too lazy to list.
-
I'm not a massive Ibanez fan, but that second one is awesome!
-
Ibanez Jems have always been a favorite of mine, despite never having had one.
-
Well seeing as Vai plays them, you can't go far wrong. I'm guessing the other one you posted with the f holes is a PG sig model?
-
:lol Absolutely. He now has a sig guitar out called the Fireman. Basically took an Ibanez Iceman body, laid it face down and traced the outline. So the Fireman is basically an backwards Iceman.

Fuzzboy, that Agile 7 string is a fucking sexy beast. *drools*
I only have one picture of my gear and it's just a burnt out one of me playing my #1
Main guitars:
#1 - Ibanez RG7321 w/Roland GK3 pickup and zazzy green tape - B Standard
(https://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v64/86/85/512267616/n512267616_27275_3775.jpg)

Amp:
Marshall MG100dfx (original batch)
Pedals:
Roland GR-20 w/FV50 Volume pedal.
Boss GE7 Graphic EQ
Picks:
Jazz III
Other: MicroMachines Millennium Falcon hot glued onto the front of my amp. :D
Dream guitar:
No idea, there's several I'd need. A regular standard tuned 7 string with synth pickup, a baritone 7 string with synth pickup, and paint jobs similar to how I've got the Ibanez taped up. Custom jobs then. :tup
Favourite Guitarist:
None. Some of them set me on my way, but I'm doing this myself and am unlikely to be heavily influenced by any one thing.

-
Main Guitar Used: Carvin DC400C (no good picture at the moment)
Played through a: Depends. Either my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, or I use my PODxt live as a preamp straight into a powered speaker. New amp is at the top of my wish list (Carvin V3), and I'm going to build my own 4x12 when I get it.
With these effects: Either the POD, or my pedalboard, which consists of a Crybaby, Boss NS2 noise suppressor, CS3 compressor, BD2 Blues Driver, DD6 delay (sometimes I'll have a DS1 on it as well).
What is your dream guitar?: A fully custom Carvin, similar to what I have now, but with a few things added. I'd also want a MIDI guitar, and a Carvin with the guts of a variax modded into it.
