I think you've got your terms mixed up :icon_biggrin:
Neil is a great musician in that he allows great music (of great variety) to enter our world. Being a musician and being a guitarist are two distinctly different things to me, though I happen to like Neil as a songwriter too. Dylan on the other hand - no thanks. I never liked his lyrics, the music all sounds the same and he can't sing.
Of course, this is always down to personal opinion. Personally I can't think of a single person whose music and/or playing I like who uses a Floyd Rose whammy. Strange but true.

Don't get me wrong, I like your LP concept, just not the person it's based upon.... :icon_biggrin:
Markoooooo said:you seem like the type that likes Mark Knopfler....I have seen him with a floyd.
I have actually seen quite a bit non metal/shredders with floyds..
David Gilmour, The Edge...
But Gilmour and Edge got rid of those Floyds quickly, didn't they? :icon_biggrin:
Hehe, I'm more into people like Fripp, Belew (Kahler users, so I may be cheating a bit here
), Edge, Neil, Marc Ribot, the Radiohead boys etc. Shredding/metal has never appealed to me (or Knopfler...).I just realised, I've always liked David Torn's playing on David Sylvian's and David Bowie's* albums, and he did use a Floyd guitar on some of that stuff (he plays Teuffel now). So there you go!
* That's a strange line up of names by the way :icon_jokercolor:

But who is Belew???
Got the idea on the green ones thinking in a Irish guitar building course :laughing7:
Irish Cream would be a good name?

Those green ones are excellent.
Adrian Belew, guitarist to the very greatest, long standing member and frontman of King Crimson and a solo artist in his own right. His signature Parker Fly is probably the most absurd instrument ever to be mass produced... but that's Ade for you!

No, the Gibson Holy Explorer is the most absurd

HI!
These are some of my creations with Kisekake. You can see them here:

Another dream would be this "Jib 619". Pretty Gretschy.

Well, if you translated the figured Bubinga top and Cocobolo fretboard to a Stratocaster and lost the painted headstock and put a single coil pickup in the neck and middle position, that would be what i am picturing...
I will try to replicate something similar on Kisekai, but Kisekai doesn't do the same level of detail that the Frank Montag simulator does.
Why does everyone always disagree with my taste in guitars? ???

No problem
I think the mini switch he has in there too is used to bypass the tone/volume controls. No source on that though, only memory (I've seen it referred to as a coil tap too, but that sounds unlikely).
From what I can remember from websites, the switch was originally a coil tap for the mini hum (or was it a series parallel arrangement, not sure :icon_scratch: ).
I think the story goes that the switch went dead, a tech guy had to fix the guitar fast so it was just hard wired to the jack - eliminating not only the faulty switch but the volume and tone knobs. Neil notices the sound, says it sounds good, so when they got a replacement switch, they wired it up for a volume tone pot bypass instead.
I've heard that guitar in a gig quite close (10 rows from the front). The sound is very much the amp more so than the guitar IMHO. Neil used a couple of other LPs throughout the gig, they were just LPs with P90s, but he still got that grungy sound out of them, just not so damned loud.Old Black looks like it is about to fall apart, btw.
