Canyon Carver's Toys

This is my first guitar, a Canadian-made Vester I bought in 86, and striped two years ago.
Sounds like shit, looks like it now as the clear coat has reacted and cracked everywhere.



Wolfgang Standard with POD 2.0. This is what I use to record. I also use a BOSS drum machine (not shown)



The Line 6 Flextone II 100-watt amp features 2x12 speakers and comes with floorboard controler with volume, wah pedals and many other features.
Also MXR Phase 90 and Boss Flanger, plus now a Keeley-modded Boss Distortion (not shown)

Yeah.... Vester sounds like sh*t, but you gave it great looks....... Did you do the striping job yourself?

Nice gear!

[CanyonCarver]

Yep, I striped it myself, spent a lot of time color sanding between coats and putting lots of clear coat, until you couldn't feel the stripes underneath. It was a real beauty until chemical reactions started cracking the clear.
Looks like a crocodile skin now...

Ah, CC. I have seen this picture of your Wolf several times, and I never tire of looking at it, because she is absolutely gorgeous !

Thanks, Mondola.
I love this guitar so much that I haven't though of buying another until recently.
I think I could use more tonal variety by getting a good Ibanez Jem or something like that, but I'm afraid it would take me away from the Wolf I love so much...
I think I'll waffle around a couple more years before I actually make a decision, ah ah ah.

I don't think you are waiting for such main stream Jem sound...... [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

But I can't give you a decent advice, because I play only Jem for over 10 years now. I have difficulty with other necks..... I love the Jem necks, even when you are sweatty....

I hope I didn't hurt your Jem-dream...... I only want to say that you need to try it first before you buy one.....

When I said Jem, I was referring to the specs more than the model by itself.

I tried my teacher's Tom Anderson guitar and it's a real sweetie. I'm affraid they are very expensive. I didn't even ask. They're built one at a time with top-notch components.
