I have a rode hard put away wet black one just like this from the mid 90's... was on the fence about selling it until I picked it up again over the weekend and fell in love all over. It's a chunky beast but sounds huge. What's the bridge pickup in yours?

I don't know, I need to pull it out to look. It's insanely hot, so I assume it's a Duncan Distortion. I love it.

This one is not chunky at all (very thin neck), but maybe I'm just use to playing LPs. The fretwork is insanely good even after all these years; I am really impressed.

I ended up putting a Duncan Distortion in mine too. Mine has almost a slim strat style neck which is different from my others but I still enjoy. It's almost to the point of needing a level and recrown, but it still plays great too.

Damn I want a HS MII deluxe. Y’all aren’t helping.

What is a dopey inlay for ESP?

What is a dopey inlay for ESP?

Anything on the 12th fret that isn't the same style as what's on the other frets.

You mean the license plate?

 

[Andromalia]

You mean the license plate?

No, SS means Standard Series, not Social Security.

I remember vivid purple finishes like this were a kind of final frontier among classy shredders just before the End. Early '80s everyone wanted red or black or white, later blue and pink or custom, and finally understated purple in the late '80s/early '90s. Love this series and that finish!

Twinkle Pink: so, is that great paint, or the greatest paint? So awesome.

 

[Furtive Glance]

That Liquid Metal Red H-I is immense. Goddamn.

Most recent acquisitions are the Stef SRC6 and CS Stef B8 in satin pink.

 

[Masoo2]

oh my god y'all didn't need to double down with that twinkle pink horizon + satin pink stef combo like that

Could take any of those and be happy forever, but that driftwood snapper is truly amazing.
