Okay...so one guitarist is obviously playing a Kurt-ified Japanese Mustang. From the sonic blue finish, the red guard...even down to that"K" shield that Cobain purloined from "K" records and adopted as his own personal symbol.
But what IS that tasty silver sparkle number the other guy is playing? First impressions? Looks like a Jagmaster...but I've never seen one like that. Tort pickguard, toggle switch on the lower horn, standard Strat-type bridge. What's throwing me off is the pickup config. A single coil in the BRIDGE position and a humbucker in the neck???
Doesn't look like a custom job to me either...

Which, as I said earlier, is what was throwing me off in the first place.
Wonder how that thing sounds with both pickups turned on. Do you folks think the "reverse" order (coz' buckers are usually in the bridge) has any sort of audible effect?
Oh...and if you like that shit...check THIS out:
Mr. Silver-sparkle's OTHER band. I know, I know...kinda emo-ish. Sound quality is pretty awesome though. Just wanted to illustrate that Rock Music isn't ONLY produced in the Western world.

i'd imagine it does, given that one is a single coil and the other's a humbucker... but does it really matter that much? i'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over the potential pickup combinations of a 2002 jagmaster. some people might though, you never know.

Hale?
Funny you should say that.
Hale's rep across the Pacific is more "Coldplay-ish."
Which probably explains why I don't like them. Chris Martin's voice makes me want to poop.
Don't think much of the popes either...but them's nuthin' but my measly two cents.

rod is from chicago.
smoking popes are from chicago.
smoking popes are also 302938420398423094832948 times better than cold play.
coldplay is from england.
people from chicago (and buffalo) don't give a fuck about bands from england for the most part. (dartz! excluded for me)
