Guessing you're leaning towards an RG?

I have an old Hosono Guitarworks body I've been holding onto for 30 years. The plan was a Ibanez 540P-ish clone. It's got some long, pointy horns; been debating whether or not to trim it up and go for more of a RG-ish build. |

Was supposed to be an RG550 from Sweetwater, but they got pushed back to the end of July. There's a reasonably priced RG550MXX on Reverb that's pretty tempting, though. |

The RG550 is the only 80's shredder that I liked. Saw Joe Satriani in 1988 and he actually pulled out a caution orange RG550 for a couple songs even though he was already endorsing the JS series. I guess that burned it into my brain. Something "not rock enough" about the Radius/JS body IMHO.

Not to mention how awesomely comfortable they are to play while looking like something that should cut you. |

Did you steal this out of Steve Vai's garage, or Dweezil Zappa's?

The Fender HM Strats look good any way you do them.

I bought my neon green with pink pickups Dinky DK2XR LE on a Musician's Friend Stupid Deal of the day a few weeks ago, and I'm very happy with it. I bought a neon yellow guitar strap for it to embrace the loud 80's hair metal vibe.
