my little weekend project

[matty76]

so for the last 7-8 years, we've rented out our basement, finally we're at a point in our lives where we not only need the space (3 boys) we can financially afford not to deal with the hassles of living with tenants. So I've been renovating the basement area into a home theatre/entertainment room, and saved the bedroom area for my own

 

[peterd79]

Love it...

i used to have an orange rig like that... it was really... and i mean REALLY LOUD... had to downsize...

but the room looks great

 

[fbecir]

Nice job !

I see that you have also a drum set. It's the same at home : my son is a drummer thus the music room is now a bit overcrowded : drum set, amps, guitars, guitar magazines ....

 

[Adrian-XI]

Very nice! Great collection you've got there.

 

[captain kirk]

JP history right there

 

[cm_17]

I salute you for your taste in guitars, sir.

 

[matty76]

thanks! hope there's room up there for that Luke III if it ever shows up!!!!

 

[LegGodt]

Samick TV 20 - NICE!!! I had one of those for a while. I sold it and I regret it ever since. That guitar sounded killer for the price.

Nice EBMM collection, you're going to have to sell some of those others to make more room

 

[matty76]

yes sir the samick is awesome, Blues has always been one of my favourites, I replaced the bridge with a real floyd, and a set of Saraceno Duncans, doesn;t get much play, but surprisingly the neck joint/fit and finish is as good or better than any in the bunch. Always regret not buying one of the Namm Valley Arts prototypes back when i had a chance.

Is it weird that I want to print this picture out and keep it in my wallet? Incredible equipment you have there.

 

[Dr.Strangenote]

Is that my old RG550 heather pearl?

 

[matty76]

hey man sure is!!! haha, I've put about 10 mins on it since, its my backup to the blue one. Most of these stay in their cases about 99% of the time, just pulled out for the group shot. nice to see a familiar face...cheers!

 

[Benji Peterson]

Looks stellar. I'm in the process of selling my orange gear, regrettedly, to afford an Axe FX II. I will order another rig soon though. Love the setup!

Nice!! it sure is great to see a familiar face... Looks like we have even more in common now, EBMM guitars kick ass! That PGM100 looks familiar too, but I think mine ended up down in AZ and then to TX unless it ended up with you as it's final destination.

 

[matty76]

the PGM, I bought off a guy north of toronto, ontario, has pgm signature and doodle on the control cavity cover. also purchased from a Jemsite seller, as with the Jem and the JPM as well. yes I've crossed over, the Dargie II JP6 is my main player, the Black Sugar is tuned Eb, and the blue RG is the only other one I really play besides the Taylor. Have a Luke III on order, was praying for them to make the HH for a long time, and I still wouldn;t mind picking up a mint green AL HH one of these days...all of these black cases are usually tucked away out of sight...the look on my wife's face when I told her to check out my completed room...priceless!

 

[Norrin Radd]

Superb collection! Love the RV50. Never selling mine!

 

[Dr.Strangenote]

Mine also had a PG signature and a hand written doodle under the control cavity cover. (I think only the 1991 models did).

Here is the serial of my old one: F142870

Very nice collection you got there.. I love the black sugar roasted BFR.

 

[matty76]

AHHHHH, that is it!!! I can tell by the doodle and sig, have to check the serial to be sure, but I seem to remember something about the guy I bought mentioning your name. I believe I've seen you on the JP forum, as well as Ibanez Collectors as well? any others? Grail tone? at one point my collection was twice this big, but I've been selling off a few of my less desired pieces, 2 20th RG550's (bought brand new), a bone stock JP6 Wineburst (probably should have kept that one), a Dargie II Silo, a rare '88 Fender Malmsteen, a PGM 301 (excellent condition but a real POS guitar IMHO they sure don;t make them like they used to) and a few other misc.

 

[matty76]

yeah the black sugar is nice, but I like the unfinished neck feel on the Dargie much better, the wineburst I used to own had the best neck by far, it was an early model '02 or '04?

 

[matty76]

checked the serial, and it's not the same one, there's no chips on the edges of the one I have, but the sig looks very similar.
