Gorgeous! What kind of woods is it made of? Looks like maybe a birdseye maple fretboard?

guitarwizard · « **Reply #2 on:** January 17, 2010, 06:09:36 PM »

The fretboard is indeed BEM.Both the neck(she is neck-through body btw),and wings are black walnut...The top is figured claro walnut.

So nice

I've always been a fan of V's and yours is about the nicest one I've ever seen. Are those Dimarzio pickups in there? In one picture it looks like dual X2N's.

That Carvin V is nice. I love neck-through designs!

Below are my guitars and my equipment setup in various stages:

The pickups are actually stock Carvin...M22V,and M22SD.I had plans to install DiMarzio's...Carvin pickups have surprised me though.

I'm not a guitar expert,but I've always loved the look of the guitars that Mark Knophler plays.Are they what you call semi-acoustic?

guitarwizard · « **Reply #8 on:** January 18, 2010, 12:05:47 PM »

That type of guitar is called a resonator guitar,or Dobro.

Do they sound like an electric guitar or have a unique kind of sound as opposed to other guitars?

Nice pics. Those look awesome.

BTW, I haven't seen you around in a while GW, welcome back.

guitarwizard · « **Reply #12 on:** January 18, 2010, 03:39:02 PM »

All the resonator/Dobro's I've ever played were very bright,and metalic sounding.

Man, I sure wish I had the time to learn.

Grindspine · « **Reply #14 on:** January 19, 2010, 03:50:34 PM »

Guitarwizard, tell me about your amp!

CreepinDeth · « **Reply #15 on:** January 19, 2010, 03:57:29 PM »

Awesome pics! But personally, I don't like natural wood finishes on guitars. Don't know why, but I'd rather have a nice paint job.

But, I'm sure it sounds great. I've always like that particular V shape.

MR.KAZ · « **Reply #16 on:** January 19, 2010, 04:06:19 PM »

I'm partial to this kind.A Gibson Les Koopa 1985 limited edition.

guitarwizard · « **Reply #17 on:** January 19, 2010, 06:44:15 PM »

The amp is a Carvin V3212 combo...it has two Celestion vintage 30's.Stock tubes are all GT's,but I replaced them with JJ KT77's.The sound can vary from extreme high gain metal tone...to a more warm vintage tone.Clarity is maintained at all gain/volume levels that I've used.It really starts to sound great at high(5,or greater)volume.The first,and second channels can be set up exactly the same,or completely different.I use a TS808 to push the front end...sounds kinda marshall-esque,but with way more bottom end.There are all kinds of great tone shaping features...A master section with bright,deep,and mid-cut...also a volume boost.Rather versatile.It's somewhat heavy though...I wish it had wheels.

Here's a more recent one... I forgot my camera when jamming last night, so took a few quick shots today:

In the above pictures:
B.C. Rich Warlock NT standard; Grover tuners, Ibanez Edge bridge, Seymour Duncan pickups
Ibanez gig bag enclosing a B.C. Rich Virgin platinum; Ibanez Edge bridge, EMG-81 pickups

2x SKB ATA standard rack cases 4u each
Furman AR-1217 voltage regulator/power conditioner
Mesa/Boogie Triaxis programmable tube preamp
TC Electronic G-major effects processor
Mesa/Boogie 2:Ninety stereo power amplifier
Rocktron MIDI Mate control pedal

And yes, one of my pet rats decided to run under my power amp to take a look.

This is my "light" guitar rig:

B.C. Rich Virgin with Ibanez Edge bridge and EMG-81 pickups.
Dunlop Crybaby Q-zone pedal
Crate GX212+ combo amp with Celestion G12H-80 speakers
Crate GS412s speaker cabinet also with Celstion G12H-80 speakers

My guitar is at a luthier having some work done on it. After the recent modifications I've made and some finishing touches, it should play better than ever...

Still, I'm not used to leaving my guitar somewhere...

x2 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 29, 2010, 10:50:29 PM »

So, any of you guys got any clips or anything we could hear?

Grindspine · « **Reply #22 on:** June 30, 2010, 01:39:07 AM »

I have no recent clips on hand. I play as a hobby. However, what I've learned from playing guitar has gotten me paid radio station engineering jobs and concert stage managing positions.

Grindspine · « **Reply #23 on:** May 26, 2011, 04:19:20 PM »

Washburn Dime 333 with Seymour Duncan Dimebucker and Alnico II Pro pickups

B.C. Rich Virgin Platinum with EMG-81 and 85 active pickups

B.C. Rich USA NT Warlock standard with Seymour Duncan Distortion and Alnico II Pro pickups along with Warlock platinum with stock humbuckers
