As Promised... Pics Of My Bestest Friend!

For the last 13 years my best friend has been a metal flake black 1992 Jackson Stealth with custom EMG pickups, double locking Floyd Rose, and a fast fretboard that almost plays itself. Until getting this guitar, I had played shit guitars since I started at age 10. When I got this guitar I swore I would have it until death. Though I had to part with my baby twice (this last time for 15 months), my goal is to carry it the grave.
Why is this guitar my best friend? I have cried through it, screamed through it, sang through it... and it does not ask anything of me except attention. I always swore I would never defile the surface of this beauty by placing any kind of sticker on it... but one day a sticker came along that begged to be placed above the pickups. The sticker has been on there for over 6 years now, and has also provided an avenue to tell people about CH if they ask me about it - which has happened quite a few times.
This thing still plays as hot as the day I bought it in July of '93.
ROCK N ROLL!!!

Always been a keyboardist, but I can appreciate a great guitar.
Rock on, Carl.
As I've said before, your music will have its time. I believe this.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Tom - finally something we agree on! I've had about a half dozen ESPs fromthe 80's (back when each one was hand built). My first one was the Kirk Hammett model with the skulls and crossbones inlays. Back then that was a cutsom shop model and I paid 2500 for it. I just checked the ESP site and they now list for 3500. too bad I sold mine years ago.
Maybe i'll post a pic if I can stand the site of me 15 years youinger with hair down to my ass! Ah the 80's.....
PS - I got a few ESP pickups laying around here without of home, somewhere. Send me your work addy and I will send one to ya if you are serious about it.
