Warren DeMartini's Guitars
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 12:53 am
Prompted by the Artists section thread on Warren, I decided to assemble a Photobucket album of my DeMartini/Ratt guitars, I chose to expand it to include 'King' Robbin Crosby on of the founders of Ratt, and who is missed. Warren's various Charvels and Performance guitars, were always way cool and the snakeskin guitars first caught my attention on various guitar mag covers. The brown and grey ones were striking and one or two had real snakeskin on the body.
The first one had the skin over primer and sounded poorly, the second version had the snakeskin on the bare wood and sounded much better!
GMW guitars, they have the pointy headstocks, make excellent Charvel replica-guitars, some of their Warren replicas are featured.The french dinky is my favorite and there are photos of copies, the real things and the prototypes from Fender/Charvel, which were NAMM guitars and I'm sure the owners paid heavily for them.
I know from my USA Charvels experience that those guys are hardcore collectors, maybe more so than the Les Paul guys. There is a lot of forgery in the Charvel world, strating with things like neckplates, ect.
Warren's RTM pickup is a further development of the JB and has a great review.
Hopefully Charvel will eventually make the French Dinky available.
Here are the Bomber, Crossed Swords, Bloody Skull and Frenchie, the WDM Charvels:

Maybe this will grab your attention..
, at least I can count on Fillmore here, poor Megan dismissed from Rock of Love Charm School, she has popped up on the Guitars holiday edition though:
