Mick Mars gold top w/Floyd Rose
I watched a classic concert on VH1 yesterday of Motley Crew and Mick Mars did the encore of Helter Skelter on a Gold top with a Floyd Rose. Dont know if it was one of those new Axcess models. Mars usually plays a Strat. Great show.

And aren't those Axcess LPs new? Not sure as I know little about them. I love Motley Crue. Went to Crue Fest in July....totally awesome. Mick is an interesting creature, but he can still wail despite his crippling disease....pretty amazing really.

Re: Mick Mars gold top w/Floyd Rose
Mick is the coolest. I've never seen that show...Always think of Mick playing a Les Paul. He just doesn't look the same with a strat.

Damn, I had borrowed that DVD from a friend a few months ago but never made it to the encore before I gave it back.

Re: Mick Mars gold top w/Floyd Rose
Its probably older. There were alot of pauls with floyds and kahlers foating around in the 80's.
Mick's great. One of my favorite players.

Re: Mick Mars gold top w/Floyd Rose
No for real its a Gretch, I saw them on the Carnival of Sins tour where he was wearing that outfit and playing that guitar, I was front row in front of Mick and it was a Gretch.

  I don't remember the exact model, but I believe in the '80s there was a variation of the Standard with dot inlays. In the screen captures I took, I can see several features. I know it has a bound body and neck, a carved (rather than flat) top, dot inlays, and in the last photo you can see where the tailpiece studs were, so the Floyd is a mod and not factory.
