Pro-M Jake

Was looking at this new Charvel Jake E Lee model, the Pro-Mod version. Unlike the American take, this one does not sport a matching body-headstock finish which I thought looks more appealing. This is one of those guitars that combined Seymour Duncan (JB, bridge) & DiMarzio (SDS-1, middle / neck) tonalities to give the player the best of both worlds (aggression vs smoothness). The previous Pro-Mod (featuring a pickguard) listed for slightly more than $2K, hope this one doesn't stray too far off this mark.

Shot

By the time you read this, be informed that Jake E Lee is in a stable condition after being shot. He's so stable that he could call Friedman Amps to approve the launch of his signature pedal despite the sensitive situation he was in. Preliminary investigations showed that the shooting was intentional despite him being a random target. Shells found at the scene showed that the shooter emptied the clip on him. Damn. Here's wishing Jake E Lee a speedy recovery so that he could once again dwell into all things guitar & get us all excited once again.
