00:00The obvious is the colour, which I absolutely love since you both hate it,
00:04but I fell in love with the colour as soon as I saw it.
00:07The pink and the green, it's just classic 80s and I love that stuff.
00:11Hey, what's up? It's Ria from Tail Gunner and I'm going to be talking to you about my guitar today.
00:15So I use a Jackson Dinky X series. I got this about six years ago
00:19and I just fell in love of it ever since.
00:22It's perfect for the style of music I play.
00:24I got the jumbo frets really flat neck so that I can stretch really far and shred really fast.
00:30Now I have a selection of different pickups.
00:35I've got the single coil and I've got a humbuckers.
00:38They're just the Jackson stock ones with a five-way pickup selector
00:41which makes it great switching between tones when I'm playing live.
00:45You can see it's meant to have the Rami bar, but I took that off about a year ago
00:49because I didn't really use it much and it means that I can just have it unlocked here
00:53and then shoot it down slow, which is good.
00:55The obvious is the colour, which I absolutely love some people hate it,
00:59but I fell in love with the colour as if they saw it.
01:02The pink and the green, it's just classic 80s and I love that stuff.
01:06This is a little manufacturing era, but it's got two little things here,
01:10which I think is really cool actually because it makes it special to me.
01:14It doesn't really have many marks from it on tour because I do take good care of it.
01:18I used this on the first tour I did with Tailbunner, which was the Guns for Hire tour
01:23and we played something like 90 shows with this.
01:26So this has been all around the world and it's put up really well with it all to be honest.
01:30So yeah, I absolutely love this guitar and I wouldn't want to use anything else.
01:33Now I've put in a row here, I'm gonna do it again for a KhĂ´ngpunner's.
01:33I've made a bow and a bow.
01:34I'm going to lose a little bit of a deny of this, and I'm going toakn off the right side.
01:34I'm going to draw theć ą, have a bow, and I'm going to make a bow.
