Actually that is a custom wound pickup from our friend's at Cavalier Pickups --

Cavalier Guitar & Bass Pickups

A No caster Holy Grail Lion to be exact and I have a FAT LION in the Peavey Generation (even ripped the neck pup to make it ESQUIRE-ISH
pic was PRE neck ectomy lol


love that peavey man the flame on the neck is STUPID good -- it plays like butter arched top and USA made baby -- killa

They are really cool pickups! A little hotter than a standard humbucker but still smooth enough to clean up, nice and fat.

Yes they do, Godin put it in standard equipment on my progression Plus with H.D.R, Its the guitar in my Avatar.

Look at all those Tele's! @Ramo - Don't look! You'll go blind! Or you'll turn into a pillar of salt!

Unfortunately, not too many people ever kept the first guitar they ever got, especially if it was in your kid/teen years. But then again, sometimes they do, just like this one

Yes, my parents gave me this 1959 Sears Silvertone when I was 8 (1973) and we still have it. It's on display in Mom's studio.

When I was gigging with it, I was running a single Duncan Quarter Pounder that Steve Morris at The Music Source in Visalia, CA., overwound for me. It was over 15k and sounded massive. Rather than shield the chambered, beaverboard guitar, I built a copper "cup" that the Quarter Pounder sat in.

Nothing about this guitar that I miss. I restored it in 2011 and gave it back to Mom on Mother's Day.

I have never cared for his style.

He is just such an amazing virtuoso player, so well versed in so many styles.

 

[Inspector #20]

He may be but I do not like his sloppiness. There's a video out there where he was playing a lot of famous guitars and his tone and precision was cringeworthy. But not in a cool, Hendrix kind of way.

I can dig it.

I'm more of a Zakk Wylde fan TBTH, but I love John 5 as a performer, much in the same way I love Jimmy Page.

Very cool! I guess I'm too damn nostalgic about stuff and RARELY ditch gear ( have sold a few amps that I actually later regretted lol). I didnt touch that guitar hardly after getting my next one for at least 20 years, but got bored one day and decided to tweak it. Ended up liking it once more, go figure lol

 

[Session 5]

This is Sadie. She comes with a 5A Tiger/ Curly Maple top and even has tones of a Strat. You might say she's a wolf in sheep's clothing.
