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.
