7 string guitars and 5 string basses are awesome because it provides a wide range for a musician to perform with. If you think it's for lazy people, what is that saying about Tony Campos or Dino Cazares?

Fenders....... Hhhhhmmm...... They just never appealed to me.

ESPs all the way. That's the only guitar I'll ever play. Everything else, there's always something wrong with them.

There are so many variables that go into a guitar sound that's it not even funny. Guitar, Amp, Pickups, Effects, even a damn cable makes a difference. Experiment and drive those annoying sales people at Guitar Center insane and make them work for their money getting you lots of things to try out. Hahahahaha

I have had several of the amp's wayne used. The MG and the VS100. I also own a Gibson Explorer Gothic and nothing get's the Static sound until you drop in the Seymour Duncan Sh-6 Distortion. Very tight sound for low tunings. Very. Once that went into the Explorer it was like "ahhhhhhhhh" that's the sound. Wayne could probably put that pickup in a Sears and Roebuck old school catalog special and it would sound like Satan himself ripping out Get to the gone.

Also a "real" Bill Lawrence pickup. One that you bought from Bill Lawrence, not the licensed ones are pretty awesome too. This is what Dime used. CFH and Vulgar used this and he even said this was his sound. Plus they are not expensive and hand made by Bill himself. They sound freaking badass in my Washburn N4.

So there is alot to it besides just the guitar. If you want to play heavier music definately get the SH-6 Distortion by Seymour Duncan. Even in a shitty guitar it sounds really good.

I guess that would only count if you bought the body blank from them. That might be building your own. The rest are kind of like kits.

I like anything from Duncan, really.

The SH-5 and SH-1 are what I generally use in most of my guitars. The guitar I am building right now has dual SH-6's though.

I don't really like Bill Lawrence, just my opinion. But his stuff is better than DiMarzio...

And for amps, I generally like all tube amps, not Solid State like the MG100. I use a Peavey Valveking half-stack. Tryin to get my hands on a 6150+.

Back to the guitar I am building, an Ibanez neck fell into my lap so I was planning to use that, but the Wizard neck is just too flat for me.
