we have a couple of guitars here - I taught myself @ 16 so I could play praise and worship for my youth group Since then, I have played for many a youth group, and some churches. Now, I just have it laying next to my desk, and I pick it up every now and then to play some fun accoustic stuff.

 

Ibanez Sabre here. Essentially they early 540 SLTD with sharktooth inlay. Loaded it with EMGs and it came with the floating Floyd Rose. Played a lot of Metallica/Megadeth/Slayer stuff back in the day. Now its sitting in my closet with all my analog keyboards I never play either.

 

definately right there!

 

Hey sweeet...

I have one in red 540SLTD...Really nice condition.It looks just like the main one Alex Skolnick (from Testament) uses.Frank Gambale also use them.WELL.

Great playing guitar.personally I think the later model Sabers (or "S" series) are different and not as good as the originals.Can't beat the original "wizard" neck or Edge Pro trem either.What color is yours??

PRS guitars are very nice.

 

what about those turn tables i sold you?

 

Well long ago I assumed it was a Saber. Cause the 540SLTDS all said custom made on the 18th fret or something right? I could be way off. Mine doesnt say custom made. How was it custom made anyways when they were mass produced!?. Actually, mine looks EXACTLY like Alex's, metallic maroon or whatever color Ibanez called it. Except now mine has a little bit of black permanent marker from when I met Eric and Trey of Morbid Angel.

Now that I look at the pic it looks red. But if you have the same exact guitar you know it looks maroon also. You got a pic of yours? I've never seen another one exactly like mine, minus the EMGs of course.





You mean those??
I gutted the hell out of them when I finally had a chance to rip them open. I cleared out about what..... 2-6 years of rave venue dust and grime out of them. Set the zero points BACK to 0. Left one I loaded up with blue LEDs. Right one I had 2 blue LEDS left over so the speed light looks purple. I found a place where I can buy the M3D pitch control board alone so now they will be just like a pair of M3Ds. And I got them at a damn good price. Unfortunately one douche bag and one cool guy that spins crap music did autograph them. Vicious Vic and D-Fuse. You know which one is which.

 

Yea I remember you gutted them, look good. I'm starting to get that itch again and was seeing if those were sitting in the closet also. 4 more car payments and I'm trying to resist.

 

I tried getting in contact with Will since you sold your record collection to him. That was a year or so ago. Should of sold them to me.

 

yea I should have, had got laid off and kinda of panicked. Is he still alive, I need to find the other guy to get my DNB back or at least some of it. I still have 200-350 not sure, mainly the DNB but not much of the good stuff.

 

LOL!Yeah I never understood the whole "custom" inlay either...

But yeah,looks just like mine minus the EMGs...Mine still has the IBZ's and is a '92 model.Also has the "All Access" neck joint and "custom" inlay on the 21st fret...

Sorry I don't have a pic of mine.And congrats on the sigs!

 

i never learned how to play so i sold my samick for 30 bucks ,lol

 

I can deal with the loss of any of my guitars except for my MIM Strats. I've had one 12 years and it's like a part of me. No matter what other guitar I may buy I always seem to going back to my Strats.
