What are you going to do to replace that one? It's because of that guitar I own my radius. I'd love to get my hands on it, but I just
can't whip up 500 dollars right now.
Btw, I'm 100% certain 540r's only have the one humbucker. Wel, the 440r, I believe is the same, but you see what I mean.
Edit: Actually, if you're certain it's a '91 body, maybe it's a 440r, because my '91 540r has some minor differences.
Either way, the pickup situation is still the same.
does this guitar have floyd rose? i can't tell by the pictures

These type of guitars do have have a floating bridge, yes. I'm assuming that is Chris's onstage radius that he used for songs like Watch
it Die and Egzit (I wouldn't think he has 2 exactly the same), and I remember him saying he had something that blocked the bridge from moving
(or something like that, I have no idea).
I'm starting to realize I know too much about all this livid stuff and it's quite lame.

I hate when he does this, because I'm going to try and find every way possible to be able to get that thing, but it's just not going to
happen. I think if I could have anyone of his guitars, I'd choose that one.
And, yes, I'm a stupidly huge fan of the band, but I've been a fan of those guitar bodies for a long time before I knew the livid.
I'm a huge Satriani fan (see avatar), and it was always my dream to have a guitar with that body design. I could never afford a chromeboy, but I
could afford a lower end JS, and these ones are even better and cheaper. Plus, the fact that I've seen him play that guitar at every single show
I've ever been to would make it that much sweeter. Odds are whoever gets it wont even know a thing about The Livid.

You should buy it, and ask Chris to sign it, then when (not if) you meet Joe Satriani, you could get him to sign it too.
Seriously that is the nicest looking guitar I have ever seen, I love the colour on it and the shape is just so perfect, it's simple but so
effective.

Odds are you can get a radius on ebay for cheaper. Mine was in absolutely mint shape and it cost me like 250 american. 400 is still a steal,
it's just that they are somewhat unknown guitars and people don't seerch on ebay for them like they do fenders and gibsons. Anyway, if I
had the money, I'd bay 700 without a thought.

Only 2 hours were left and there were no bets. I'm not sure if anyone did buy it.
