I'm digging this guitar a lot!
Here I used a Marshall JVM410H through an Avatar 2x12 cab with Eminence Wizard speakers. Miced with an SM-57 into a GAP Pre-73 into an Apogee Duet.
Featured here is also my latest and shortest hairdo. :bootyshake

Hairdo kicks ***.
Oh and the guitar is ok as well. :)
That's a wicked guitar when did you get that?
Thanks, I bought it on Friday.
Does it have a poly finish or nitro? The fretboard looks ebony...is it rosewood?
Wow, great demo and playing!
I really like the range of styles and tones this guitar is capable of.
The haircut is good on you. Nice and simple, no fuss, too.
"Keep your sword greased"? I'll leave that one alone!!!
The resinator fretboard is an extraordinary, homogeneous wood composite that maintains a strong fundamental harmonic and eliminates wolf tones. It offers the articulate sound of high-quality ebony but with more consistency and durability. Silky smooth, reliable, and fast.
The Viking's high-grade polyester finish is hard, smooth, and more dense than polyurethane, so its guaranteed to look great and provide excellent protection and sonic performance.

Very nice. Robert, how many guitar do you have?
I have to go home and count... I don't know how many I have!
Cool.
So I must ask: what do you actually play the most these days? Suhr? Swede? Viking? Which do you practice on? What's your gig setup, including amps and pedals?
Nice Demo and vid review Robert! I am glad you are liking it, and really glad to hear the tones you are coaxing out of your new Vik! :happy :applause :AOK
Nice demo, the Hag sounds great!
Is that a no.2 or a no.1 hairdo? Looks good on ya. I get a no.2 but have been wanting to go with a 1.

I cut my hair shorter this time. Just used the electric razor on 12mm or something.
I play my Suhr the most, because it's my best guitar. I practice and gig with it too. I also play the Swede quite a bit. It works very well for my new rock band I'm in. Fat distorted tones....
I use either the Spider Valve MKII for gigs, or my Marshall or my Mack amps. Sometimes I use more than one amp at a gig.
For pedals, it changes constantly. I'm always experimenting.
I'm officially terrified now.Quote:

Sounding great, as ever, Robert - don't know how you can have such an easy familiarity with so many different styles of playing... Interesting to consider how raunchy this style of guitar can sound when it's usually classified as a jazzer...
By the way, shouldn't that be "Keep your AXE greased"? I know them Vikings used axes as much as swords :poke
