If you like the hocky stick then look at the Kramer Focus 1000 and some Deans. The head stocks are actually called hocky stick. http://shredguitars.com/collections/dat … /focus.JPG
Yep I loved my striker, It fell victim to early 20s and no job, had to hawk it to get some uniform stuff to play rent a cop. Never made it back to the pawn shop 
Well put, Beamer ... if it fits, it fits.
I noticed that Ibanez is also using a lot of that H-S-H pickup configuration on their S-Series guitars, with the 5-way switch you describe. I'll bet it gives you a whole range of sounds without touching your amp or a pedals. The Kramer Striker is a cool looking axe, and they appear to be excellent value for the money.
I had the 600 here is an old pic of it if you can see it, otherwise if you FB then you can friend me and have a look. Oh an I was mistaken it was a H S S. w/ the togel switches. you could do a lot with that configuration sound wise. but man I saw the white guitar and the profile. I fell in love. I just pointed and said that one.
I like the slant on the humbucker also,, just looked sexy.

this model is hard to find nowdays,, and they are not that low priced when you do. Have seen a few being asked for in the 600 range. thats a bout what it was new with huge case!
As stated in other post, I love my Epi SG G400, with a custom bridge Lynch Screeming Deamon Humbucker! 2TU (= 2 Thumbs Up lolol)
Fortunately, the field has broadened a bit in recent years. At one time, a person bought Gibson / clones if they wanted the humbucking sound, or Fender / clones if they liked the single coil sound. A number of manufacturers are now making very good instruments with coil-tapping pickups, so one can get the best of both worlds in one guitar. This feature isn't quite as good as either of the purebred HB's or SC, but they are still quite good.
It's also worth noting that some of the off-shore clones have gotten quite good, with Squier (Fender) and Epiphone (Gibson) being very reasonable and affordable facsimiles of the parent company. My EP Les Paul Custom Pro has their new ProBucker pickups w/ coil tapping, and I really like them ... a lot hotter and not nearly as muddy as their previous humbuckers. Other serious contenders like PRS and Ibanez are also building high-quality and innovative instruments.
It all comes down to a person's sound preference, and more importantly the feel (ergonomics) of the instrument in your hands.
The day I bought my Kramer Striker, I looked at it, and said it feels as good as it looks, its sold. it just "fit", and it sounded great! HsH w/ 5 way and coil tap and in and out of phase switching. yep it came home with me that day.
wish I still had it!
never heard of em.
What is the chance of a camera being set up to stream via skype? or at least to record some stuff for YT?
Im thinking I will not be able to swing to FL. Maybe another time. Still in for a T-shirt though 
Man that really blows! I can not be there either. Like you I have had a string of auto mishaps and some other stuff. But I think you got me beat in how it all happended so close together.
USN 1990 - 2010, Desert Storm / very first operation deny flight / Kosovo reilef are the main biggies I was part of.
Two things you never forget.(1) The first real song you play all the way through. (not the choral or happy birthday from the mel bay book but an actual rock song that you love) (2) The first time you bite into a McDonalds hot apple pie. Before they warned you that it was filled with hot lava.
#2 LOLOLOLOLOL man they even changed the pie! so as not to have that happen. I miss the fried pie, but I always got cherry, I like my lava red LOLOLOLOL
Its a great song,, try some barr chords with it,, check the library for the Metallica version,, and mix the two. I love playing that song on my electric! open and barred and in my style,, it rocks no matter what!!
Amy,
My writing is triggered as an emotional response. I think most are. Anger, Lover, stress, depression. All great starting points. I get inspired by a particular moment, or ill be rocking to some tune and ill blank out the lyerics they are saying and my own start poping up. happend a few weeks ago. 2 verses,, needs work but a great two verses. happened twoice in the same 2 weeks. showed them to a objective friend and he liked them.I just gotta learn how2 to play the music part in my head!
then there is always this,, http://www.zzounds.com/item--VOXTONELABST just run it to your current amp.It is probably the main section of teh vox amp your looking at. this way you have control at your feet.
Ringmodulator???
LOLOLOL Once again its going to come down to you having to go to a shop and plug and play all three to see what you like. LOLOLOL (standard reply at the end of all opinions )
I know a guy in a punk band and a standard bar band,, his line 6 aint no toy he works it to death ,,, it freaking kicks butt! + you can get the floor bd that goes with them. Vox kicks butt also. nephew has a vox 50watt modeling head with a 4x12 vox cab. not shabby at all.
I thought I had posted on this but it dont look like it. My first song was probably Iron man. just the main riff. Butthe one I loved learning and still love to play ...ROCKET RIDE by ACE FREHLEY. God I love a good flanger in a song!
My two cents,,, use index finger to barr the A. open A stringand press down D n G, dont worry about the high notes. With electric its not that noticeable (to me anyway) On the D chord, its tips and light pressure. or if your playing rock and roll, just mute yout high e and not play it, just use your index and 3rd fingers. ( that is how I do it anyway, I play my electrics a tad more than acoustic.)
I vote for THECREEP MOD, Yea thats the ticket.
for your first effort you might want to try a kit, first check this out, it will help you along the way and build skill level.
Dont know that much about it, I just pick em up and strum,, if I like I buy or add to the "I WANT" list.
this is an old thread, but I bought some DR electric 10-46 TITE-Fit nickel plate round core strings yesterday for my little "Wee-Vee". wow they are really good strings and bens as nice a .090 usually does.
I found these guys by a mmg on YT.
really good UK post punk / grunge w/ out being obnoxious and no screemo.

OK beamer, so you're a back door man.
Touche' Pete,
As long as were talking bout the guy Big Momma Thorton or Jim Morrison is singing about! LOLOLOL I knew someone was going to pick up on that and mess with me OH the front door is working fine now also.
Wel Im at work tonight and I used the back door (why soes that just sound wrong? LOLOL) and got in with the full address line /forums. no I shall test my short cut from chrome. (currently in WE7)
but why waste teh money on it< best way to learn is to become victorious over the issue LOLOLOL
I really think a power conditioner would be your best bet.
