The whole trailer sounds immense, but there's something about the clip from Awake! that actually gives me chills in a wonderful way. I've looked into being cryogenically frozen until the release date but apparently we don't have the adequate technology to revive me if I did that

I felt the same way !! There's something about that last song "awake" and the ambient ending... Really looking forward to it.

my budget is about $1000 AUS DOLLARS.

Cool guitar!

You're good with a tele pretty much regardless.

ah sweet as coming from you i think my choice is made.

is there much difference between the original fender to the fender squier? i gonna change the pick ups in them to emg's or something anyways.

What about those Peavey guitars DEV? should i wait longer?

damn that tele reminds me kind of like Dev's old one! ive been looking for a guitar that's similar to it for years!

Teles are my absolute guitar of choice. Pickups are personal. EMGs are great fro that metal sound, but there's a ton of options. I like the Gibson 59s, The SD Distortion, The Tone Zone, Lollar single coils...all great.

The PV is being worked out. In all honesty, You can't beat a strat or tele if you want a strat or tele. So with PV, I'm just working on a spaceship, the 7 string baritone V, in grey...and we're on the second prototype. It's a Ziltoid guitar and super cool. When the chips are down though, and I want to play a tele, or a les paul, thats what I play.

If I can work out some details, the V might be introduced at Namm...it's a hard process though, PV are huge.

cheers much appreciated Man your the best, cant wait to see you in Aus for the tour.

59's are risky for metal, just fyi.

Duncan distortions are all purpose and cheaper.

Regular old Duncan Distortion pickups? Really? I've been wanting to try them for years.

Personally though, I've come to like the Duncan Blackout's more than EMGs....soo much sustain.

Played a Blackout in a Fender Celtic Tele and almost bought it on the spot, still might get it if the store has it, thing was AMAZING all around.

Hi,
The Tele Custom 2 is way cheaper in germany, maybe an import pays off?

I haven't played it, but this guitar has a veeeeeeeeery good reputation in german forums..
In terms of pickups, you can also buy an sh4 and a ceramic magnet, or a sh6 and a alnico 5.. When you swap them, you get the other PU.
(sh4/6 with Alnico 2 is cool too by the way!)

if you can find or suggest anything else that would be great.

Jim root has a signature fender telecaster in black or white with EMG:s and a fixed bridge.

Remove the pickguard and draw something on the jim root signature on the back of the head and you got yourself a fine devy guitar

Is the V gonna remain single pickup? I would really like that guitar, but I want a neck pickup too

You know what I'd want? A guitar exclusively for death metal, with a single pickup, no tone or even volume knob, just a simple on/off switch! If the switch was placed somewhere on the side, maybe next to the input jack, the front of the body would be completely devoid of knobs and stuff. As a 7-string baritone V this would pretty damn awesome.

Hell YEAH! I´d buy one of those DM-Specials.

For a thousand bucks you gould buy an esp ltd 8 string with emg 808 active pickups just like the one in my vid here. 8 strings are a load of fun to play.
