i played one of zakk's les pauls. over at this crazy biker guys place in LA, hed be wrenching at 4am. i was drinkin next door, figured what the hell, go talk to him... so i was shooting the shit about modding guitars with this guy. he was telling me about some silver wire he uses thats like $5 an inch. anyways, he was like "im working on one of zakks les pauls", it was an ESP. brought out this little practice amp and said "wanna play it?" man, that thing was one of the most beautiful guitars. it had such, i dunno... it was loud without an amp. the action was incredible. i could play shit so easily on that thing. well, maybe it was jake e lee's, i was drinkin... but the guitar was beautiful. i would love to own it.

ahhh, good instruments. cant buy em like that at the store. hell, a LOT of what i record is pawn shop gear. gotta love that.

so a bbe on the guitar. maybe i will try that. in fact i have a track just in mind for what i think it will do to it.

so did you do clicky kicks? how was that done "professionally", i always taped a quarter to the head.
