Dean VMNTX. I was wanting to go with something just a tad higher end, but you really can't beat this for the money. Picked it up used for $160, and it has absolutely everything I was after. An unpainted super fast neck; two nice high output passive pickups (at least some of the highest output passives I've ever handled); two volume, one tone, and they don't get in the way of my muting; fixed bridge; 24 frets... Looks great, balances absolutely perfect on me, and sounds awesome. Needs a setup and some .10's, but I'm in love.

Score one for Dean.

Satin I believe. I don't have a picture of the back, but there's no gloss on it at all.

Apparently the body is basswood with a maple top. This thing sustains forever.

Once I get it setup (the action is a tad low for my tastes) and the .10's on there, I'll get some good recordings up. This is a seriously nice V for the price range.

I've got some good ones there.

The hand-bound ones that don't have covers yet (yeah I do bookbinding - a ninja has many skills) are the Gingery books that tell how to build a smelting furnace, forge, and make machine tools from your own metal castings by hand. I have the Lathe, Milling Machine, and Metal Shaper books bound up and waiting for covers.

THere's a plethora of "fighting" books that I never actually read. The real combat books in my house are four volumes of what I call "the Big Black Book" which I compiled over the years as a rowdy militant, and it's all very good stuff, much of it hand-written notes from training classes and AARs.

Lots of programming books. Lots.

A book on ancient myths and cultures.

I'm diverse I suppose.
