nice collection Rob, its cool you still have the first axe you learnt on. Wish I kept my first ever axe. The Warwick 6 string looks like a beast and got to love the headless Steinberger !

I wonder if there's room for a thread titled "guitars which I should have kept" or "guitar regret"?
Before the Steinberger I had a Washburn B-20, which was shaped a bit like an explorer. It was fun to play and looked & sounded pretty good (or so I thought at the time!) ... I had to sell it to get the 'berger. The sentimental part of me still wishes that I had it.

great idea Waz!
Your EX5 was one of the first guitars that I looked at when I started getting into my first build.
Love the finish and the mods!
Thanks Rob. The colour was an accident that grew on me. Full strength DT OS was too dark and at the time the batch of CG that I had was too yellow, hence why I went into the lab to experiment and the rest is history. All part of the fun involved with these builds and thankfully it turned out ok.
