[xbolt]

Sorry lads...the traffic volume exceeded my cap at the shitey server...

Back up under a different one now...:thumbsup

[SamboraRocks86]

i dont know if i prefer the white swan or the lightning swan.

probably the lightning one.

[SlipSlidinSlim]

I love white guitars with ebony/rosewood boards. :drool :drool Nice score!

[SamboraRocks86]

i'm more a fan of White guitars with Maple F/B

looks real nice to have it all "Clean" colours.

[markshredder]

'Looks awesome.

I have a Nightswan project on at the moment, I'm thinking about white now I've seen those pics...

I'm torn between plain white or getting a graphic.

[lefthandedshredder]

Mate nice guitars!

Swans look good in just about any colour, it's a fact of nature :)

Aaah and your wood grain Robin, back when they made most of their guitars with Floyds (however licensed they were)

[xbolt]

Thanks dudes,

It has one amazing neck :drool
The back profile is a bit flatter than my lightning neck and just plays like butter all the same!

Waited quite a while to find a white one and it was worth it.
Hard to stop grinning these days :guns :toast :guns


The Robin is a really great axe as well.
Neck is thinner and wider
With the JB in the Swamp Ash body it is a bit brighter and much less "round" sounding than the JB in the Alder Focus 1000.
More raw and cutting without being harsh...
This Floyd is a Takeuchi just like my Washburn KC90 and won't go out of tune unless I unlock it ;)
Just a really sweet axe! :whistle

[Pacerfan5150]

That is one clean swan,excellent score dude.
I guess it's true...good things come to those that wait.
I'm also digging that natural Robin,that's a sweet one as well.
Is the white Kramer on the end (next to the focus) an Imperial?
Nice collection bro:thumbsup

[jowe]

That is one very healthy looking collection. The white looks awesome!

TY...

Yep 84 Pacer Imp :)

For some reason......(KF)
All of a sudden I have more Kramers now than any other types.
A 30 year old collection is now feelin much more compelete. :bananahea :D

[nightwatch]

Wow! What a wonderful collection :drool I really like the two swans. I also like the focus, what color is that, it almost looks like it has green in it.:bananahea

[kurenai]

that looks beautiful. it must sound so sweet. most of your guitars look like they are in very good condition.

[xbolt]

I'm pretty well gonna be chasing the dragon for while I believe! :-x

This NS really feels like hot rodded LP Custom with a basterdized monsterish hollyfucRness about it :-|



The Focus is a
"I don't know what to call it, cuz i'm not really sure but looks kinda metallic blue/green/teal to me"
kind of kulur???

Nice Collection :thumbsup

I want that lightning graphic Nightswan :drool

[jovanid]

isntthat one in the middle here..

Yes these were made by Signature (http://www.geocities.com/signatureguitar/) (<<< See Links) designed in conjunction with Alex Lifeson and with LASIDO bodies & necks with Schaller Floyds & hardware. Nech-Thruz by Larrivee...

The White (http://solarwinds.ca/tunz/87Signature.htm) <<< more pics
is an 87 and has an Evans PU which is quite different in tone...single volume seems to just pan from SC to HB but is never off. Very strange but sounds interesting.
I think it may be a proto as it has no serial number. Neck is medium thin with ebony
http://solarwinds.ca/tunz/87Sign10.jpg

The Gun Metal Grey (http://solarwinds.ca/tunz/89Signature.htm) <<< more pics
is an 89 carved top and has Seymour TB and hot stacks...Sounds just killer! Neck is thin and also with Ebony...Reminds me of a Stagey
http://solarwinds.ca/tunz/89Sign40.jpg

Overall both similar to the late high end stuff Kramer used to get made at LASIDO...I guess

[lefthandedshredder]

Those guitars are real cool, I love the way they look out of shape but in shape at the same time, with the body shaping and crazy headdstock (reminds me of later 80s peavey headstocks)

[scottd5150]

Sweet pair of Nightswans Bro,(and the rest of your collection is cool too!) I have to say i like the Lightning graphic a little more(I'm biased because i used to own one) but certain solid color "swans" look cool too (candy apple red looks cool on a Nightswan).

[kb7010]

Very nice Swans.. I want one ssssoooo bad... esp would love to have a lightning swan.. but beggars can't be choosers (sp?).. lol

one of these days I WILL get one...!!!!

Yes and ESP did have a lightning swan too, in fact they made them :D

[markshredder]

I used to have a purple ESP maverick, which was basically their take on a Swan. 'Best guitar I have ever owned. Sold it to a girl about 4 or 5 years ago, and she wouldn't sell it back to me... Missing that guitar set me off on my current nightswan project.
