Dean: Spider

Another shredder joins the Dean camp, this time it's Chris Impellitteri. His signature instrument features a maple body & non-locking hardware. The pickup combo gets my thumbs up- a single coil + humbucker paring. I always hear more definition in neck single coils; it's the reason why I have coil splitting options for my dual humbucking guitars. This particular body outline reminds me of a certain Kramer model of the '80s... Hmmm... Like Vinnie Moore & Michael Angelo (among others), Mr. Impellitteri had Dean to conceive his pickups rather than having popular brand name models in there.

Sub,do you have your fave shredder?or just guitarist that you admire?

subversion.sg said...

no particular individual; i admire people for their ability to be at their best. when i started out, i thought Malmsteen was the epitome of guitar technicalities but upon further discoveries, Malmsteen can't do Joe Pass, who can't overwhelm the fretboard like Jennifer batten, who can't hybrid pick like Greg Koch & it goes on :-)

i draw influences from many players, just too many to list...
