Tony MacAlpine Re-Joins Planet X:
The band will return to the studio later this year!

Tony MacAlpine is upgrading his home studio and is selling two of his guitars to guitars to cover some of the costs of this significant upgrade: a Carvin T-MAC 6-string and T-MAC 7-string.


CARVIN T-MAC VI 6-STRING GUITAR


Tony has used and owned this guitar for many years, and it has appeared on both G3 Denver and G3 Tokyo DVDs (see video stills), along with the Crossroads Guitar Festival DVD. It's been one of Tony's main road guitars for tours since 2001 with Steve Vai, CAB, Michel Polnareff, and Devil's Slingshot. Tony has played this guitar in front of hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.

The guitar is a TMAC6C - based on the Carvin DC127 - with Tony's signature touches: A Floyd Rose tremolo with a graphite nut and sperzel tuners, and the headstock is adorned with Tony's signature "TMACVI" logo. The active electronics are upgraded with Tony's push-pull volume pot that lowers the volume of the guitar, so that when you're in distortion mode, you can pull out the knob to clean up the signal. This feature is only available on TMAC signature guitars.

The guitar has a neck-thru alder body, blue sunburst over quilted maple, and comes in a case.

This guitar is in great condition, with some paint chipping on the back of the guitar by the electronics cavity. There is also a small chip on the headstock. Apart from some other light finish scratches, this guitar is in incredibly good shape for a touring guitar.

Tony is happy to sign the guitar for the buyer. We can also provide a photo of Tony with the guitar, along with a letter of authenticity.

Attached are some photos of the guitar along with a number of video stills from the G3 Denver and Tokyo DVDs.

This guitar will go on Ebay on Sunday April the 19th - but can be had before that for $4000 ono, plus insured shipping. We may consider a combo deal with the 7-string that we're also selling. See below.


CARVIN T-MAC VII 7-STRING GUITAR


Tony has used and owned this guitar for many years, and was the guitar played by Tony on the Steve Vai "Live At The Astoria" DVD. It's been Tony's road guitar for tours since 2000 with Vai and Planet X. Tony has played this guitar in front of hundreds of thousands of people all over the world.

The guitar is essentially a TMAC7C - based on the Carvin DC727 - with Tony's signature touches: A Floyd Rose tremolo with locking nut and sperzel tuners.

The guitar has a neck-thru alder body. Although it looks purple in the pictures, it's actually green/purple holoflash flake. It tends to look purple when photographed with a flash. The guitar comes in its original case.

Guitar is in great condition, with very little wear - a small ding on the back, but that's about it. Apart from some other light finish scratches, this guitar is in incredibly good shape for a touring guitar. Tony doesn't really throw his guitars around much, so they tend to stay in great shape for a while.

Tony is happy to sign the axe for the buyer. We can also provide a photo of Tony with the guitar, along with a letter of authenticity.

Attached are some photos, along with video stills of Tony with the guitar on the Steve Vai "Live At The Astoria" DVD.

This guitar will go on Ebay on Sunday April the 19th - but can be had before that for $4000 ono, plus insured shipping.
