gems finder!

I am going to start a new blog: gems finder.
i will find guitar gems for you all around the world, on ebay, or wherever they could be.
well, i will highlights gems i like, according  to my tastes and knowledge. they will be choosen according this unique criterium: is this a guitar i would purchase for myself? if the answer will be yes, you will find it here.
i can not buy all guitars i like, of course. but i wuold be glad if someone who trust me could have some good deals thanks to my hints.

good luck!

Mike Portnoy left Dream Theater!!!!

Mike Portnoy left DT!!!

it's like if james hetfield leave metallica!
how dream theater can be themselves without MP?
how can you replace the best drum player in the world? i don't mean only technically, he is a composer, producer and DT soul.

now i'm very curious about the DT future.
they wrote a part of hard rock and metal history. let's se if they are able to start a new cycle.

ad majora.

rg565 new jap vintage?

Somewhere in England someone saw this shredding weapon. it is a heavy dimarzio equipped ibanez rg 465. it seems to be a low cost copy of the 1991 rg565 made in japan.
http://iheartguitarblog.com talk about it.

well, i own an original 1991 rg565.

michael kelly patriot custom

I saw this awesome axe in a shop in the center of milan. i didn't know michael kelly before this event. i plugged this beautiful axe into a vox valvetronics that was there, and....
what!?!?! this beaty roooocks! she screams, sound, sing, my fingers run on the fretboard as they never did on any other guitar, and the tone... wow, incredible.
i don't know. i am used to many guitars, from ibanez to stracasters, to les paul, but you know, from a 2000 $ guitars your expectations are pretty high. but from this, expectations have been devasted.
probably this is a lucky one, a one of a kind melting pot of good materials, electronics, strings, setup and so on... but, guys, this become my main guitar in a second.
