Anything guitar related, be it your equipment, your favorite guitar heroes etc…regardless of genre. I’ll start first. My heroes: too many to list, but I will commence with Gary Moore & Paul Gilbert: [![Video: Gary Moore - Blues For Narada](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/0/4/0493550074ee99e4c6be34a425b9ff96d5192658.jpeg "Gary Moore - Blues For Narada") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRFWmNgTqRE) [![Video: Paul Gilbert Solo 1987](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/a/9/a98df6bfb1c421a05ef7cf2d284e209f6a11fb49.jpeg "Paul Gilbert Solo 1987") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-_Wm8T1iMc) ---

I have several guitars, but my workhorses which tend to get pretty much any job done for studio sessions and gigging are these two: ![2EpJEY5.jpg?1](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/d/d/dd4c9dff5ff5fa771fede5e19acb7077a4a051fb.jpeg) Left: 1985 Jackson San Dimas, neck-thru-body, with custom pickup switching Right: A ‘Frankenstein’ custom guitar consisting of parts from several sources (in the tradition of Eddie Van Halen/Steve Vai early prototypes): ![Scallop.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/f/0/f055770585c2a5852bf3cc6d4095b6c3785f0e25.jpeg) Kramer neck with scalloped last 3 frets ![Output.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/8/3/8355b14e9376e323bb6f035b40cd736283cd64eb.jpeg) Two discrete outputs to feed different rigs. This beast can sing sweet or go all the way to a proclaimed metalhead into a weeping BackStreet Boy. Pretty much all my guitars are not stock, and have been bastardized with some customization in some way, and I like them in their bruised and battered state. None of them are pretty, and they are very dirty lol I use an assortment of Laney, Peavey, Marshall amps in stereo or sometimes I tri-amp (middle dry, left & right effected). ---

Your main Carvin, its a beauty and I know those babies really sing and scream great. I wouldn’t dare to take it on the road -its too pretty! Are the pickups Kiesel customs? ---

The pickups are the stock Carvin C22B/C22J set - I ordered that C66 way before they used the Kiesel brand and Jeff did custom pickups - I heard the Kiesel Customs are pretty sweet pickups though (specifically the 7-string version) ---

On clean and mild overdrive, you could mistake them for beefy single coils, but when fully driven it goes to ‘dirty ho’ mode real nice. The stock Jackson pickups on the San Dimas has kinda the same character as well. I even put a Jackson pickup in one of my old Kramers at the bridge, though this one is good for only one thing - METUHL - and doesn’t wanna play anything else lesser than that ![hardrock-053.gif](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/2/4/24944e7fc9108555fcc7cdeaaabb7f4347dfeb43.gif) I would love to have one of your Ibanez RGs - solid workhorse guitars those are - luv 'em ---

Really what I’m after nowadays is pretty much any USA core model Paul Reed Smith. I’ve never owned a PRS to this day, and I’ve been DYING to get my hands on one. I haven’t played a USA PRS I haven’t fallen in love with. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/guitar-talk/108934.md?page=2)
