I loved the KK shape with the Beast headstock. I always thought they were bigger though until I realized King is just short
I was recently offered one as a trade for an Ibanez RG I have posted for sale. Declined politely, managing not to use the phrase 'butt ugly'.Holy shit that is an ugly guitar. Its like he saw the Dime-o-flame and said "Holy my beer."
I only have one experience with Moderns, I tried them on a 5150III combo and with an import Jackson that had them stock. They were decent for sure, but. I think EMG’s do it better and are overall a better sound to my ears. The moderns had some weird EQ inherent to them that wasn’t my cup of tea. I think they’re overhyped. Give me my EMG’s.I'm eyeing up a brand new (apparently) Shredzilla in the UK at like £500 off the asking price. Don't like the colour, has the OTT abalone as well BUT wouldn't mind trying one out cos they do have decent spec and it has Fishman Moderns which I've never had the pleasure....any use or all hype guys?

moderns are high output tho. They slam the front end more than EMGs ime, and voice 1 is like a clearer, tighter emg 81. In the right guitar they're pretty good imo.Cool! Thanks for the heads up. I like higher output pups so it sounds like these won't cut it.
His guitars have been ugly for decades. Why single any of these dreadful guitars out now?Holy shit that is an ugly guitar. Its like he saw the Dime-o-flame and said "Holy my beer."
I don’t. I think it looks horrible. His Jacksons looked spectacular. These look hideous.Off topic but I didn't realize Pat switched to Fluences. Probably why Erik and now Rob uses them now.
Pretty damn cool they were able to save all of his guitars though.
Also shitty headstock aside, I loved the Matt Tuck V.
Yeah that headstock was a super weird choice and I don't know why they thought people would want itOff topic but I didn't realize Pat switched to Fluences. Probably why Erik and now Rob uses them now.

I really hope Pat is doing better. From what I read when shit went South it seemed like dude was having a really, really bad time. Really hope he's getting good help and getting better.
The paint jobs have been ugly but the guitars are badass.His guitars have been ugly for decades. Why single any of these dreadful guitars out now?
For anyone interested, he was sentenced to five years probation, random blood alcohol and drug tests, and has to see a mental health professional regularly. He also had to pay something like $30k in fines and restitution.
There have been sightings of him by fans "in the wild" at bars, restaurants, the street, etc. and most folks report he's been pretty normal, quiet, nice, friendly.
I really hope he's able to get back to music at some point. He's been one of my biggest influences.
“subject to random blood alcohol tests”
“seen in bars, etc”
should go down well
In a lot of states you can’t even enter bars if you’re on probation. But I get it, it’s possible.
Never doubt what Florida will or won't allow.![]()
