Custom Ibanez

[zeusse]

Guess I just happen to be lucky today when I went on my Facebook account. Pete Lesperance the guitar player from Harem Scarem left a little note he was selling one of his guitars. This is the info on it custom shop Ibanez red flame top, bound body and neck, dots and a flame inlay at the 12th fret.
A fine tuner bridge (non whamy) and a floyd lock nut.
Dimarzio PAF Pro in the bridge and is a weighty beast with sustain for days.
Like a totally supercharged version of their stock one.

Now I needed a good stop tail so this I think fits the bill and its the only one of its kind so I don't have to worry about seeing anyone else with one...(zeusse likes that only one thing). So after talking to Pete on the phone this afternoon the deal has been done and I'll pick it up Wed or so at his place...maybe a jam if there's time.....I do have to fiddle with it. I have pics he sent to my email but I can't copy and paste them for some reason...oh well here's a video of the beast.

What can I say Pete Lesperance is just total class! Outside the fact getting to his place was a nighmare cause of the construction in the area Pete was just too nice of a guy....but then aren't most of us guitarists! I opened the case and was just shocked how beautiful this axe was....stunning!! It is the only of its kind and was custom made just for him by Ibanez. He wasn't playing it that much cause he has changed his style and wanted something more suiting to his needs so he bought this awesome 57Tele.....I think I want one now. The Ibanez is perfect for me and will be part of my guitar family forever....He's got another beauty I'd like to entertain the thought of purchasing.....I'm already crossing my fingers..LOLhttp://img239.imageshack.us/img239/2194/petelesperanceibanez012.jpghttp://img179.imageshack.us/img179/5700/petelesperanceibanez016.jpg

Here's a pic of that 57Tele...WoW its just sings too. He likes to tune to a drop C it really makes a guitar growl .......mmm ya jamming with Pete was quite cool, much like Danny he's such a smooth player....Holy crap the thought of Danny and Pete jamming would be nuts....yes he was quited interested in the meetup for next year, at the end of the day he just loves to jam.
