Did the new platinum series headstock looks like the one trey had on his instaGib with inverted headstock ? I like that one too but cant find a picture.[/quote]
No, they were smaller and had totally different lines. The big headstock makes the guitar very neck heavy. I've had one of those. Also the stringpull across the nut is not that well thought out. I prefer the original headstock which was designed for the ironbird in 83. Sharp and angular and straight string pull.

Re: Trey's complete gear setup
Thanks a Ton for your help. This will be a great help since i was planing to get a custom guitar, here in India all those international guitars are very expensive and very limited are available here.

[quote name="Uni"]
[quote name="M.Bison"]Hey uni, I was looking at the JCM900 a few days ago and noticed there is two different versions: the SL-X and Dual Reverb.
Which one does Trey use? Cause the SL-X is said to be far superior.[/quote]
He has the 4100 dual reverb.
The 900 range (100 watt) heads:
- High gain Master Volume MKIII: 2100
- High gain Master Volume MKIV: 2100 SL-X (super lead eXtended with extra preamp tube. Introduced in 93)
- High gain dual reverb 4100
The bad rep the 900 has comes from a silicon diode in the clipping stage. According to purists this should be all tube. However.. the silver jubilee, and various 800's also have this. In fact, on the Dual reverb, the crunch channel is ALL tube. The 900 was also the first line of amps that were fitted with 5881 tubes due to the lack of quality EL34 tubes. Another thing purists fall over... the first ever Marshall amp was coincidentally made with 5881.. they started using the EL34 because it was a cheaper tube. Not because of the sound properties. That was a fortunate side thing.
Ive heard bad 900's and just as much bad 800's. The so called holy grail the 800 #2203 was so inconsistend that they all sound different. A mate of mine had a 900 with EL34 wich sounded like a sissi. My 900DR with 5881 sounded like a monster in a A/B test. Don't just take my word for it Ask Void.... He has heard the amp too.[/quote]
yep i can confirm that.
i use a jcm 900 4100 dual reverb too and also did a test with el34 and 5881 the sound is much fuller with 5881's !

Nice guitar, but I cant figure out the exact shape of your headstock.

Re: Trey's complete gear setup
Fukket's headstock is the same...
Although the shape of the headstock on Instagib in that picture is the same as the two you pointed out, there is one mayor difference....
Look closely....
