Notes from the practice corner

My Tiny
Guitar Wishlist

A few instruments I keep coming back to. Nothing urgent, just good sounds, comfortable necks, and a little inspiration to play more.

01 / SEVEN STRINGS

Schecter Jeff Loomis JL-7 FR

Seven strings and a Floyd Rose. A Jeff Loomis signature for heavy riffs, expressive leads, and plenty of room to explore.

02 / CUSTOM SHOP

ESP Custom Shop Alexi Laiho Scythe

White with black pinstripes, Scythe inlays, and a Floyd Rose. An unmistakable tribute to Alexi Laiho and the music of Children of Bodom.

03 / A DIFFERENT LOW END

Fender Bass VI

Six strings, tuned an octave below a guitar. A different kind of low-end inspiration, somewhere between familiar chord shapes and bass lines.

04 / SEVEN-STRING WARRIOR

Jackson Dave Davidson Warrior WR7

Seven strings and the unmistakable Warrior silhouette. A Dave Davidson signature for the heavier end of this wishlist.

05 / RHOADS

Jackson RR24

The sharp Rhoads silhouette, with 24 frets. Riffs, lead lines, and a little classic metal attitude.

06 / LEGEND SERIES

Jackson Concorde · Randy Rhoads CD1

The Legend Series take on the original Concorde outline, in vintage white with black pinstripes. A piece of Jackson history to daydream about.

What matters most

Feel before specifications. A good setup, fresh strings, and time spent practicing usually go further than another pedal. The wishlist can wait for the right guitar.
