I’ve always been a fan of him growing up and the show Jeopardy, my father actually got to meet him when we lived in Japan when he tried out for the show. Super sad day. He will always be a legend. RIP Alex Trebek.
So far, 2020 hasn't turned out exactly as we were hoping. For example, we didn't predict that most of the planet would be socially isolated, with many of us stuck in our homes to fight the spread of a pandemic. But as long as we're here, we might as well make good use of the time with the ESP...
Banger TV created a "contest" ala what we see with The Voice and similar ones but for Shredders.
Skolnick is part of the Juri (although he doesn't really seem that enthusiastic :p)
Anyway the second EP has Alex performing without the band (just guitar like the contestants) the solo of Practise...
"The neck is a vintage output, PAF style humbucker with an Alnico V magnet; the tone is rich and articulate. The bridge is wound hot, with a voicing that emphasizes punchy midrange, and rich harmonics.
DC Resistance: 17.7k Bridge, 8.3k Neck"
Alex Skolnick Signature Set - Seymour Duncan Custom...
Need some dough and gotta make room, so have to let this baby go. Killer sounding and playing guitar, but yeah, need to downsize.
All the shit I did to it:
Pickguard installed
Fishman Fluence Classic pickups
Vol/Vol/Tone setup replaced with only 2 volume controls
Original bridge volume hole...
It's an auction so the final prices will probably be inflated but it's nice to window browse. He's not selling his 540P with the Practice cover, though.

I'll let the man speak:
And some vids from 2012...
Alex Webster to Join Conquering Dystopia with Jeff Loomis & Keith Merrow
"This will be an instrumental extreme metal project. Somewhat progressive but the emphasis will be on making it HEAVY." - Webster
VERY EXCITE
BBC Sport - Sir Alex Ferguson is going to retire at the end of the season
Wowser :eek:, never known them without him in charge. Whilst I was never his biggest fan Football is really loosing one of the greatest managers ever.

Alex is one of those guys, like Ty Tabor, that switches gear at pretty rapid clip. I love the use of the tone matching with the piezos.
Spotlight Music in Foco has one of these. Fun novelty for all of thirty seconds until you realize the wood could have been used for something else... :lol:
Anyone else played one?
