I like other people's tone, but I've never tried to clone someone else's. I don't know shit about EQ'ing or anything really, I literally fuck with knobs until I get something usable, then save it.

You can incorporate aspects of other people's tones/styles into your own music without emulating every last detail. It's a cliche to say it, but...

I actually did.

Should I be ashamed?

And when i saw he recorded it with his EBMM, i never thought "uh-oh, boring shred approaches!"

Did i do something wrong? Maybe some of us aren't so keen on that whole thing...

I will be a proud fanboy if the Xiphos ever comes out in a 7-string version Then the crowd would not be wrong to assume that I am a Muhammed fanboy and I have no shame in that.

Personally, I'm a big fan of signiature gear.

It seems that just about every guitar I want these days is someone's signiature...

Petrucci's EBMM
Vai's Universe
Munky's Apex1
Stephen Carpenter's ESP 7 string

Out of those guys, Petrucci is the only one who's had any kind of influence on my playing, and even then it's the likes of Chuck Schuldiner and Marty Friedman who've had the biggest impact on my playing.

So why do I dig signiature gear? I don't know, they seem to get it right more so than the regular models.

Mind you right now, the K-7 is the only signiature guitar I have (Unless you count the Stealth, but that's really my own signiature model) and I've also got a Mark Tremonti wah. I don't like either artist, but their gear seems to suit me.

So if someone's going to see me playing a K-7 and think I'm a Korn fan without hearing me play, I'd rather lose that one audience member than the guitar.

Oh yeah, my favourite pickups are signiature ones too, DiMarzio Evolution (Vai) and Lundgren M7 (Meshugga).

I have an Epi Zakk guitar, and it's fun to play on. I'm a Zakk fan, but you'd be able to tell that from my playing, not what guitar I use. As a matter of fact, I've only played the Zakk on stage once, and I play the Randy all the time, yet my style of playing sounds more like Hetfield/Schaffer/Zakk than it does Randy at all. So take that for what it's worth.

Anyways, now that I have a Rhino Linered guitar, that's MY signature model! LOL
