HateEvent Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 If I get a buyer for the guitar and they want the EMGs then no I'm not selling them. If I get a buyer wanting the stock pickups - I'll give you a good deal on the EMGs cos I won't be needing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Phew... a LOT of points that need to be addressed here...I bought the LP cos I got it at a good price and because it sounded different to the other guitars I had at the time. It had a nice finish too and added diversity to my collection. It was also one of the nicest playing Gibsons I'd ever come across (I'm sure I already covered that in this thread!).I don't buy guitars because of who plays them! I buy them cos I like them aesthetically' date=' soundwise and qualitywise. Dimebag is my favourite lead player - doesn't mean I'm going to go buy a Dime sig or any other Dean ML. I know what I want. I went for this LP and have since decided that a trem equipped guitar will fulfill my needs more.I bought my Explorer (complete custom order to MY specs for what it's worth) because ever since I started guitar - the Explorer has been my favourite shape. I'll admit, it was Hetfield playing one that made me see it and go "ooooh!" but even if he stopped playing them completely, it doesn't matter. I still like the Explorer shape more than any other shape out there. I got it as my ultimate fixed bridge guitar and I never intend to sell it. Being MY specs makes it like a personal signature guitar for me (how fitting in this thread now!).I already own a Custom Shop ESP (my KH-2NT) and I've played the non-signature M-II Urban Camo : it has nothing on it. If this was earlier in my guitar playing life then I'd not notice the difference. I can tell now. I can hear and feel the varying quality of the two. The Hanneman is of the same quality as what I currently have. I want nothing less. There is no ESP Urban Camo of that quality that ISN'T the Hanneman.I have no problem showing my influences - I'm proud to be heavily Slayer influenced. People watching can presume what they wish to: I know who I'm influenced by. It doesn't start and begin with Slayer that's for sure! I do love that guitar though and couldn't care less if people see me as a Slayer fanboy! I am! So What! I can't get a guitar of the specs I want without it being this one (or a custom order with different inlays which will cost plenty more)!I wouldn't buy a matt black one cos it looks more diverse on the basis that I much prefer the Camo.First guitar? This will be my 7th guitar.I want it as it is the ONLY guitar available in that finish which has the quality level I desire (that which matches a guitar which I already possess!). If I was getting another custom right now - it would be Urban Camo finish on an Alder bodied, Maple necked, Ebony fretboarded superstrat which had 24 XJ frets, 2 EMGs, an SPC control and a kahler trem and was made by ESP! Guess what guitar on the market fits that bill! Yep, the Hanneman!Regarding modification to make a guitar meet my needs - the Hanneman (on paper) is all I want, with the exception of changing the wiring of the pots from master volume and master tone to two seperate volumes. Other than that - if I went for a different guitar - I'd have to get a new paintjob (the Hanneman black is the only other guitar with my desired specs with exception of the finish).If I had the patience just now to have a custom made (and could justify the extra for the different inlays (it would be of the same quality and attention to detail)) then I would go for it. I simply can't. I like the Slayer eagle anyway! As I mentioned - I have no problem showing that they are an influence! My playing displays my indivuality! Richard Z from Rammstein played a KH-2 for a couple of years. That's a signature guitar. Doesn't remind everyone solely of Kirk Hammett - it's the dude from Rammstein with a guitar that suits his requirements! That's how I see it! It's practical what I want, not for the image (apart from the finish I gues but that's personal taste!).[If I'm reading into this correctly then you are presuming the Hanneman and the M-II standard are of the same quality of construction? If that's the case then no, they aren't. Hopefully that's cleared up my reasoning?! You shouldn't need to explain yourself to anyone James, but points addressed eloquently DZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
