My friend, that is one awesome guitar!

I love it!

Wish I had a guitar like that and could play like that.

mrpesca · 01-14-2009, 10:18 PM

And here I thought you were all talk. I guess you showed me. Put up or shut up. You put up, now I'll shut up. Nice job, nice guitar.

Iceman0124 · 01-14-2009, 10:43 PM

Nice job still wish you'd put some real PAF style pups in her though, it would go a long way towards warming up your overall tone, to my ears its a little on the brittle/sterile side instead of the warm punchy smooth dynamics one would expect from an axe that looks as stunning as your does. But as long as your happy, thats all that matters.

captain tightpants · 01-14-2009, 10:54 PM

Nice job, Vlad!!!

vladmaximus · 01-14-2009, 11:01 PM

friends...
thanks for all the comments...

***b-squared*** · 01-14-2009, 11:01 PM

Sounded like you were playing through a practice amp, maybe?

In any case--pretty guitar, nice playing.

I wish I had hands like you--you have Jimi Hendrix/Eric Johnson hands.

You and me both, BB. 20 years I've been at this, still can't make my hands do that shit. Some days I just wanna give up.

ACobra289 · 01-14-2009, 11:04 PM

First let me say. I hate you.

Second, would anyone like to buy a LP Standard? I no longer feel worthy to even look at it.

Seriously though, amazing playing man. Being an absolute beginner, it blows my mind when I see someone play like that. I'd love to be able to just switch between 2 chords.

Maybe I should switch to the cowbell....

calibud · 01-14-2009, 11:07 PM

Vlad isn't this the Epi section???

Sweet vids though for sure!

lifele55 · 01-14-2009, 11:07 PM

Nice Vlad...

vladmaximus · 01-14-2009, 11:16 PM

errr..
yerps its a practice amp...a small marshall 40watt...
thanks for the comment bro..
im still learning & practice...

LEFTY LES · 01-15-2009, 07:06 AM

Thats some serious playin Vlad, Great job man. You are a very natural player man for sure. Im with you B not in a million years could I get my hands to do that. Ive been playing a long time and you either got it or you dont. That...I dont have. Not to mention my hands are about 1/2 that size. At any rate you got a lot to be proud of Vlad, Keep up the good work man. Just remember man, as great as that Tokai you have there is man, its nothing without you playin it bro!!!

vladmaximus · 01-15-2009, 07:22 AM

Yo lefty les...

Alex Moody · 01-15-2009, 08:44 AM

Very nice,Vlad. Sweet Crazy Train there.

GrouchyDog · 01-15-2009, 10:59 AM

Nice guitar, great playing! Just a few months ago you were still referring to yourself as a "beginner", I think you can drop that title now if you're still thinking it....

Blownchevelle68 · 01-15-2009, 12:47 PM

Simply amazing....Your a talented guitarist Vlad....

surfer777 · 01-15-2009, 01:35 PM

The_Sentry · 01-15-2009, 01:45 PM

Nice picking.

This would be a cool addition to the Cellar forum...

Stewart_Widowmaker · 01-15-2009, 02:21 PM

Wow Vlad!

Every time I've seen you post I'm always looknig at your sig photo at that guitar, it sounds just as great as it looks too!

The_Judderman · 01-15-2009, 02:34 PM

I know! I'm totally going to get to Malaysia some day and steal that guitar. There's just something about it. The finish. The carve. Now we have to suffer through HEARING how nice it is too?

steadyriot · 01-15-2009, 04:10 PM

If i ever have the chance to get to malaysia, i am going to steal it from you!
:P

EEF13 · 01-16-2009, 12:50 AM

was this before you installed the Dimarzios?

Horse · 01-16-2009, 03:57 AM

Vlad,

got up on a dreary Friday morning, watched your vids and feel fired up! great stuff bro!!!

damn, i too wish i had your hands, instead of my Fats Domino sausages, aint never gonna be able to shred like that but you still inspired me.

yeah a set of PAFs in there would work well, what mojo that guitar has.

ps Calibud, Vlad feels at home with us Epi guys so its cool eh?

siore · 01-16-2009, 04:26 AM

Sounds good man! That tokai is a keeper.

GaloDeBarcelos · 01-16-2009, 04:46 AM

Looks great! I actually like the clean tones...

Too bad U had to sell your €pi custom...
