[FrancescoFiligoi]

Hi guys, first post here!

I've recently had the enormous pleasure of doing a photoshoot at one of the best recording studios in Europe, www.blackmirrorstudios.com

The studio owner is a long time Jackson collector and wanted me to shoot some pics of his wonderful instruments...here are some photos, hope you enjoy

A couple group pics first...





And here are some of these beauties

Let's start with the classy PC1...






nice flame board!



Now something completely different: a Kelly Tribal Flame custom, art by Mike Learn

specs:

-alder body
-ebony fb
-neck thru maple neck
-emg 81-85
-ofr









Here's a King V KV2T, beautiful guitar...incredibly lightweight despite being all-mahogany!

-abalone inserts on knobs

Warrior Graveyard!

specs:

-alder body
-maple neck thru
-ebony fb
-sd invader bridge and full shred neck
-ofr







Now, one of my favs! Soloist custom shop in snow blind finish, one of 30 pieces. always alder body, maple neck thru etc.







Time for an evil Warrior custom shop spider! This is one of the NAMM 2008 models. It's a custom shop but the headstock doesn't say that, a bit strange. Seymour Duncan Invader + Full Shred.







Randy Rhoads Nuclear Waste, as always an excellent work by Mike Learn.







Soloist Stripper: this is a really really tacky guitar, but I like the red sperzels and flamey fretboard it's a custom made for Guitar Asylum.


am I the only one who can see a subliminal message?



King Kelly, 25th anniversary edition custom shop, it is a really really heavy guitar with poplar body, I don't know what are the pickups, the bridge is Schaller.

The last one is evil incarnate: Extreme Warrior, custom ordered by the studio owner, It has 18v SD blackouts. Amazing work on the fretboard!









OT picture: look at HOW EFFIN' SICK is the studio drum kit, unbelievable! When I heard it in action it was like hearing Awake by Dream Theater.



That's it guys, I hope you enjoyed the pics, despite the huge number If anyone's interested, you can download all the hi-res pics (and some other studio photos) at this link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/9y7nui

Ps: the studio owner has just told me that the new Chris Broderick signature will arrive sometime soon @ his studio, so I'll be ready for some additional pics!

Very cool! I happen to like the stripper soloist!

[Axewielder]

Nice spread...I'd say the spidey Warrior is the winner!

Great Pics! This has to one of the best first posts ever!

Great scot!!!!!!

[Hellbat]

I don't dig the stripper soloist. The perspective on the feet just looks wierd (penisfoot) and she looks like Elexis Sinclaire from the videogame SIN. I do like everything else about the guitar but that though.

Great collection and very nice photos. I especially like the PC1 shots.

[DarkSaga]

Once again.....


Sick fuckin collection sans stripper soloist who the hell thought that graphic or the poker chips one was a good idea??????

[salmonella]

Nice collection, particularly the extreme warrior. The fretboard inlays on the stripper one are awesome but I agree that the graphic lets it down (ala C**k foot)

[Charlz]

Wow!!!

[Pointy]

[Devotee]

I just splurged all over my keyboard.

[Larz]

Really nice photography.

Love the barbed wire warrior.

Seems like I've seen a lot of those for sale or versions of them. Were some of those NAMM guitars?

[Johnnyryche]

Great pics and awesome guitars! I'm not a warrior fan but I'd snag that graveyard in a heartbeat.
