Woah! That's a scary finish on the Ironbird!!! 80's hardcore.

The Ironbird is an 80's gem allright, still has the plastic coating on the nut cover from new, ebay special from Victoria if i recall, its getting a refurbishment down the track, new pickups , new screws etc to make it relive its glory days, GO THE IRONBIRD !

Love that Epi with the trem. Did you mod that yourself or did it come that way?

Very nice and loyal Ace tributes here. You give Tommy Thayer a run for his money! Great job!

Just a qick set up, Adobe Audtion on my laptop, usb connected to my Digitech RP250 and then used a backing track for the drums on track one, its only a rough mix, the Ace bit at the front could have been up a little more, i wanted it subtle though....the harmony solo came out nice i thought.

The Epi came that way, its called a Pro-x, plays nice and retains the LP look but with the fun and games of a Floyd.

Cool, I have some multi track software I need to play with. My Pod XTL I use via aux in.
I need to learn how to program drum tracks.

Is that an 80's Platinum Series?
I had a Platinum Warlock in 86 and the neck was killer.
Don't like the new ones, though.

Picked up a new EMG-81 on the weekend so thats going into the Ironbird this week, should be a great improvement as the stock pickups are crap.

Yep, 65sec burn smoke canister in the neck ignited with electronic match system and a light fitted, these are both operated from a 3 way switch in the top tone pot.
