Guitars

All my axes! Some of them you can't really get anymore, so I've found replacements.

Here's my main axe! It features Fishman Fluence-pickups, Floyd Rose 1000-series, killswitch and is neck-through!

It's a dream to play on - the shredzilla neck is thin and you can reach around the neck with ease.

Here's my Gus G. signature axe. I got this from my parents when I was 15 years old! It's since been upgraded with Blackfire Immortal pickups, but the ones that comes pre-installed on the guitar, the LH-150s are very good for being stock factory!
ESP LTD Gus-200 Gus G. Signature

Unfortunatley, an exact copy of my Jackson Dinky is no longer available. Mine has a reverse headstock and features a Licensed Jackson Floyd Rose-system (which is just a fancy word of saying Floyd Rose Special). This is as close as it gets to my Jacks...
Jackson Dinky JS20 Reverse

This is my 7-string guitar! It features EMG active pickups and works really well for most metal music.

I don't have a Fender Stratocaster, yet. I own a copy that is slighty broken, however (CastleRock). But if you want a real Fender Strat, this is a pretty good option!

I own a set of Blackfire Proteus pickups. These were designed by my guitar hero, Gus G. and I love them.

I've got these installed on my ESP LTD Gus-200 guitar! These pickups have been designed by my guitar hero, Gus G. and they sound awesome!

Make that strat play like a violin!
YJM Fury Pickups

Amps & Cabs

Here's what I own in terms of cabinets and amplifiers, or at least, aim to own.

In my personal opinion, this is the best cabinet in the world for heavy and power metal. It has Celestion Vintage 30 speakers and gives a warm yet dark tone.
ENGL Pro E412

This amplifier can do everything - and guess what? It's ancestor, the MK1 was used on one of my favorite power metal albums of all time; The Book of Heavy Metal by Dream Evil.
ENGL Savage 120 Mark II

This is what makes my online guitar tone. I use it for live gigs and for my YouTube videos and livestreams.
Line 6 Helix LT
 
Melkepakken profile picture
A genious practice amp that has served me well for YEARS - since I was a kid! It's infamous for it's “Insane” channel, but in all honesty, once you dial it using your ears, you'll get some awesome tones out of it. Just don't use it for professional r...
Line 6 Spider III 30 30-Watt

Can be used to power the ENGL cabinet if you want to use the Line 6 Helix LT as an amp, instead of investing in a real tube amp.
Seymour Duncan PowerStage 200

Pedals

All my pedals and effects that help produce my guitar tone!

The BEST Phase 90 pedal out there. The script mod phase button really turns your guitar tone into something out of the 80s!
MXR EVH Phase 90

One of my favorite wah pedals. It's been in my posession since I was a little kid.
Dunlop SW95 Slash Cry Baby Wah
 
Melkepakken profile picture
Classic pedal for heavy metal guitarists. Often misused by people who do not know what they are doing. I think everyone I know that play guitar has one of these.
Boss MT-2 Metal Zone
 
Melkepakken profile picture
Can make Tom Morello effects and even harmonize your guitar leads!
Boss PS-6 Harmonist Pedal

Not exactly a pedal, but this has been my guitar tuner throughout all of my life until I got the Line 6 Helix LT. It even features a metronome, which is pretty neat.

Future Guitars

Here's the guitars that I plan to add to my collection once my budget allows.

My next guitar will be something like this, definetly! I need a guiter with scalloped frets, and YJM is one of my big guitar inspirations so why not grab his signature?
Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster®

I plan to add a more expensive Gus G. signature guitar to my collection at some point. This one is solid, but the price is pretty high.
Jackson USA Signature Gus G. Star

If I somehow get signed by Jackson, I'd wager my signature guitar would probably look like this.
Jackson Warrior Custom Graffiti Yellow

I don't really like headless guitars, but this one caught my eye and it's pretty much the only one that I like with this type of design.
Strandberg Boden Metal NX 6 Blood Red

Getting one of these guitars would be a dream come true! It's my favorite Gus G. design out of all the Star guitars. Sadly, it's nearly impossible to get unless you win the lottery or something.
Jackson X Series Gus G. Signature Star 2017 - 2019
