[Torment Leaves Scars]

This is the gear demo of his for the New Black Album with SYL.  There are two parts, very much a commercial, but very Devin Townsend.

His sense of humor is quite evident.

I think these are some pretty old vids, if I'm not mistaken, but he has great tone!

 

[Patrick from Davis]

Yes it is.  Approximately 2006.  He has moved to Peavey since then, but still uses the cords, picks, and strings.  Still, some of his, "Wank," riffs are pretty damn impressive.

Yeah, he's a very skilled player.  It's just hard to take a guy seriously that looks like that LOL!

I don't mind the tun-o-matic, or the pickup placement.  The color scheme is pretty cool as well.  But, and I am guessing here, it is a baritone 27" guitar.  If so, having the strings go through body make it require really long strings.  That is something I find annoying from a practical standpoint.
Patrick

My Warmoth baritone television is a 28 & 5/8" scale, and I have standard D'Addario 12's on it with the standard television humbucker bridge.  They're plenty long enough.

Exactly what I was thinking, WTF is up woth that hair....C' mon man...give it up, you're bald face cut that shit off... :doh:

Maybe he was the inspiration for Pickles, Deathklok's drummer...

Seems drunk enough...

Actually, he was the inspiration for Pickles.  ccasion14:

...And let's be honest, since when has Metal been about being pretty?  I'm pretty sure he's since shaved his head, but I gotta admit, that "crazed" look was kinda cool on him.  :headbang1:

 

[ORCRiST]

Notthing looks better than Jackson's. And nothing is better than Jackson's. That's gotta be one of the coolest-looking and mechanically right designs I've ever seen.

FTFY.

That's not what I said at all. And it's not nice to change what people said and present it as a quote. Not everybody who reads this forum is a regular and wouldn't know that I would never say something like that.

Yeah, the quality of Jackson guitars has always been very good, but aside from the Soloist body shape, they don't have any features that impress me, and yes, strings should go in a straight line to to the tuners, not bend at a 45-degree angle after they pass over the nut slots.

I'm pretty sure the same features are across the board on all Jackson's guitars., aren't they?  Also, what is the significance as to why the strings should or shouldn't bend at an angle?  As an example, I have a Schaller-Floyd tremolo on my Warmoth.  Since the headstock does not bend backwards, a "string tree" was necessary, however, on a guitar with a headstock that does bend backwards, a "string tree" is not needed.  Why not?

Orchist, where he changed what I said and made it look like a quote, then said "FIFY". I understand he was just making a funny, but doing it that way is poor practice.

Oh, okay.  I thought your post was directed at me.  I was reading it, thinking, "Okay, what did I say?"

I'm not talking about the headstock angled back. I'm talking about the headstock angled sideways...

Cool it is. White guitars tend to be.  :icon_thumright:

I'm confused.  What do you mean by "sideways?"  Are you talking bout how a Jackson headstock is shaped where after the strings cross the nut, they're pulled to the right (or left, if reversed headstock)?  If this is what you mean, this would happen on a "paddle-head" headstock as well.
