Guitar Project Begins Today

I sent off the Photoshopped 'CHIAKI Brand Prototype", image of the guitar to Dan Lawrence in Los Angeles last month. He likes the design and gave me the thumbs up. I have spent the last month looking for a luthier that can actually build me a body and neck to my specs. We all know what we like in terms of the feel of the neck and the body, but I needed someone that can translate that into actual dimensions. The radius the nut width, the exact measurements of the neck etc. etc. I think I found the perfect man that can become a huge part of this project. A small door to a huge Future LOL! 一月かけてやっとギターのボデーとネックを作ってくれる人物を見つけ上げる事が出来ました。去年の１１月にロスに在住する７０年代から数多くのミュージシャンのギター＆ベース・グラフィックを塗って来た男にデザインを送り話を進めて来ました。彼は　Eddie Van Halen, George Lynch, Warren De Martini, Slash, Zakk, Zappa....... と取りあえずMTVでおなじみのギターをすべて塗って来た人物です。そのダン・ローレンンス氏に今回のプロジェクト参加してもらいます。　今日からプロジェクト本格的に開始です。

Looking for an Amp

Looking for an amp now. I've had the Tech 21 Trademark for the past 12 yrs. Been looking into the Dr. Z Maz 18, PRS Sweet 16, Fuchs Lucky Seven, Bad Cat Mini Cat. All low wattage tube amps. I really liked the Dr. Z Maz with the LovePedal Purple Plexi 800 combination. This little stomp box made the amps scream! Then today I learned about the Line 6 Bogner Spider Valve MkII . This is an all-tube amp with a digital front end. Here is a secret. Gerry Ganaden who is George Lynch's Guitar Tech doubles up on "River Of Love" and for the heavier tunes like "Scary" and "Wicked," during some of the resent Lynch Mob gigs. Shiiii... using his Line 6 Spider Valve 2 x 12. A legend like George Lynch. A total guitar Wiz like him is OK with this whole concept of having a second guitarist in the back doubling over his playing, I guess this is something legends try to do to replicate the album. Steve Vai has a second guitarist and a 3rd Keyboard/Guitarist while performing live, but they are on stage. In this case, Gerry is behind the massive wall of Lynch Boxes, Marshalls, and Soldanos. Now back to the original topic. Here is the setting Gerry uses for Lynch type of tones. By the way this info is so amazing! Here it is. (going left to right on the front panel of controls) Put the amp model on metal on the red channel...gain about about 4-5...bass on 10, mid at 6, treble at 7, channel volume at 8...put the effected gain at the midway setting. This amp will give you the sound of a wide open "real" amp at lower volumes. The more info I obtain, the more I need to look into things. Still looking for an amp.
