Damn, Wes looks crazy.

Triple-J · 08-20-2009, 09:22 AM

Did you get any info from Wes about his white sig model?
I remember a while back he said it was going to be made available as a limited production of 30 pieces worldwide but I've not heard anything since.

Ze Kink · 08-20-2009, 10:22 AM

I'm pretty jealous

No but his white one didnt look as nice. it was also cracked in half and reglued back together..you can see it in the first pic.

I wouldnt be surprised if it was put off. we talked about the guitar, i expressed how much i liked the design overall and how well it played. He said they had been having problems with the pickups that yamaha made for the guitar. Basically they were starcaster/tele custom pups, but they started to fail for one reason or another.

his tech area was covered with boxes of Distortion Trembuckers from Seymour Duncan. His tech, Mel, and him spent most of the pre show working on why the volume was diferent on each guitar.

I still very much want one of his siggy guitars as i think they look amazing and are definitely my style.

If they make and limited runs it should be of the quilted top amber finished one he played....soooo secksii!

so to recap hahaha. i think the pups need to be redesigned before they do a limited run of the white.

I want his 7 string version. he didnt have it at the show but he played it with BLB. hotness.

god heavens.. i`m late but..

take a look at 1st picture, did anybody see the little paper with songs and WES GUITAR TUNING FOR SOME SONGS??? thats awesome!!! maybe that had done for a technics..

wow.. great pics!! and now we`ve known ab his tuning exactly)

so, does anybody know what strings he use? .10 - or .11 - .52? .56?

i can`t understand how he able to sound clearly with this tuning.. bec this is so low!! and what kind of strings he used when he was playing Ibanez 7 .. .62 or .68?

Mattmc74 · 10-16-2009, 12:36 PM

Very cool pics! Looks like you had a really bad ass time!

TonyFlyingSquirrel · 10-16-2009, 12:43 PM

I really surprised that they even agreed to play the same show, it's no secret that TF & FD hate each other.

ZeroSignal · 10-16-2009, 02:38 PM

Oh my god. Wes is the ....ing MAN!

Please tell me you asked him what the story is with his 7 string custom?

jnurp · 10-17-2009, 01:05 PM

wes is a maniac and trents lady is beyond words.

djpharoah · 10-17-2009, 01:13 PM

Wow -

for meeting one of my guitar heros.

signalgrey · 10-20-2009, 03:01 AM

He didnt mention the 7. Although i have seen a live shot of him playing a TOM or stoptail 7 string of his custom. probably with the drone tuning he seems to like. He was saying that the stock pups in the yamaha were failing and hes been using SD trembucker distortion pups. his orange amp/cabs sounded ....ing amazing too.

im glad you guys have been enjoying this thread.

i didnt get to see the strings he was using. i think hes an Ernie Ball user isnt he?. but his tone was prettty clear. hes got a pretty warm tone as it is especially with the semi hollow. but i think the trembucker pups are pretty bright and his orange tone was quite clear.

Shrediban3z · 10-20-2009, 10:34 AM

Can't see the pics because im at work but thats quite an experience.

Korngod · 10-20-2009, 01:00 PM

i work with fred's daughter (shes like 18-19), would be cool if she talked to him more and got me the hookup similar to this!

Really? Cool, never noticed you were from Jacksonville. Is she the one named Adriana? I remember that he mentioned his daughter in one of Significant Other's songs.

mlp187 · 10-20-2009, 03:21 PM

I don't know if anyone has said it yet but Jim Halpert resembles you.

Nice shots too!

Xaios · 10-20-2009, 09:31 PM

Curious, does Wes bring any of his old Ibby's and PRS's on tour still? Or is it all Yamaha?

i saw only a few jacksons and a bunch of yamahas. i dont think they really went all out and brought alot of stuff. but yeah. i dont remember seeing any ibbys or a prs.

DDDorian · 10-21-2009, 09:10 AM

He's been spotted with an Alexi Laiho sig ESP too, hasn't he? Guess he doesn't really give a shit anymore

signalgrey · 10-27-2009, 06:17 AM

yeah he played something like it. Is Alexi playing an ESP? or a Jackson? but it was that style. it sounded great. looked weird on wes for some reason. go figure.

ralphy1976 · 10-27-2009, 06:23 AM

i woudl agree with DDDorian here. I guess someone with his status can afford not too care too much about which axe he uses, but i second Signal thoughts : must look weird on him though!!

do you have a pic of him with the ESP by any chances?

signalgrey · 10-27-2009, 06:34 AM

i thiiiiink so. he only used it for faith and eat you alive i think. tuned to drop B if i recall correctly. ill check my photos again for ya.

ralphy1976 · 10-27-2009, 06:35 AM

sweet!!! thanks dude, and faith LB way has always made me chukkle. it is a shame that George Michael never did a mix with LB on stage!! that would have been totally awesome!!!

signalgrey · 10-27-2009, 06:38 AM

it was good enough that even Trent came out to watch it.
