Same as the Pros play???

Seems so crass reading it that way, it actually went down as Albert posing for a picture with it (and with me) and then me saying "if the fretboard wasn't so gunky, I'd ask you if you wanted to have a go with it during the 2nd set".

Albert noodled a bit right there and said he'd play a tune with it. Then just got into his music and stayed with the guitar the whole set.

BTW Doesn't Luke use a sustainer in the neck position in a lot of his lukes?

Ouch, good thing I'm talking some english courses this semester, it will surely help with with forum posting skills

Yes, I think he does. But only in the black sparkle one and the radiance red one and only on a few tunes. But the radiance red one is said to be broken in some thread here.
Most of his guitars are without the sustainer, I guess.

that, me friends, is cool. That's the way it should be.

this was at a petrucci signing he thought he was only doin signatures but the store booked him for a clinic slot so he pulled this medallion goldie of the shelf and used that

Though to be totally accurate, he did tweak his amp a bit when he switched to my AL for the 2nd set. Not sure which knobs he fiddled with.

There will always be a slight difference between two bodies even if they are the same shape and wood type (Spud now stops telling kbaim how to suck eggs)
So I guess Big Al would have made a compensation to his amp to suit.

As BP has said AL uses just the one guitar as opposed to 6 or 7.
Even when AL plays piano and his pedal steel player takes over guitar duties, he uses AL's guitar!!

Tony Levin played a clinic for us at Machinehead earlier this year and brought no guitars at all.

We had 5 String Stingrays and an OLP Levin model that he used as they came.

The Artist models are just that - what the guy on the headstock plays.

To (potentially mis)quote BP - Guitar Manufacturers who have "custom shops" are basically saying their production guitars suck!
