Hi Guys,

I went through a lot of  'in and out' of love.......it took some getting used to, particularly the s/steel frets, as they're quite high -  and sorting out the amp/pedals/tone+vol     -   loving it now   >-

I was the same, I went for an odd neck in a way, now it's great, but I've had it over 6 years now!

An Extremist with Alnico 5 magnet, same as Clarky recommended. Has turned Laura* into an awesomes guitar.

You did get a lot of love from me and a lot of others over at MR........

I'd say you nailed exactly what I asked for (Adrian Smith/Dave Murray/Michael Wilton/Chris de Garmo), but, its also great for most 70's heavy rock (Sabbath AC/DC etc) without being too modern-sounding, and great for more modern sounds without being too vintage sounding.

 

*BTW, I'm a sad bastard who's named his guitars......

I've got a couple of sweet 62s in my strat and they are rather nice

Van_Hayden

Glad you like them! They're really popular, but I'm going to avoid sales pitches on here......
