Blah. But I AM tempted to sell the RR3 for the RR5...... will see how.

why get the RR5? go straight for RR1

Jul 29 2008, 01:22 AM
That's one thing i don't get though. Why the steep difference in price between the RR3 and RR5FR? Both MIJ Pro Series, both 22 frets, both same SD pickups. The only diff is the neckthru and OFR on the RR5FR. But i don't think that costs like RM3k more.

Or am i missing anything?
Everdying
Jul 29 2008, 01:24 AM
RR24 is already 5k rite...so i guess the RR5FR should be priced similar.

Jul 29 2008, 01:26 AM
Yup, the RR5FR in Bents is 5k.

for RM5k can get a used gibson LP.
lol, choices for blacktrix

er, right now, priority is a semi-hollow, or P-90 guitar (Like the BFG).
Shredding guitar is already done, so back to a tone guitar.

They differ in terms of what they are designed for. For a better perception on how each would sound, go and try them yourself. It'd be the best to trust your own ears, cause we all have individual preferences in tone.
People say that the MI Audio Crunchbox is a Marshall in a box, I sometimes wonder how true is that xD

SkylineFreak - GC generally jack up their prices quite a bit, not worth getting it from there. For LTDs, just PM DeadEye, he gives good prices. And also, GC aren't the most knowledgeable/honest dealers around. My friend bought an ESP M-II from them 2 months ago, they said it was 2007 model and had SD JB/59 pickups. But after he traced the serial number last week and e-mailed ESP, they said it was i think either a 3-4 year old model and had stock ESP LH-300 pickups. Needless to say, things between him and GC Sunway Pyramid are getting quite rough.

Heavy? Never really noticed that.
Why is it MIK but priced over 3k?
Listen to the guitar sing? Justifies it altogether.

oh, that tokai is for UK market
MIJ arnd late 90s i think
but from the aging headstock bindings, it looks alot older than late 90s =/
mingdynasty
Jul 30 2008, 11:17 PM
ok thanks guys... great help..its tokai..paiseh
sean392
Jul 30 2008, 11:38 PM
eh?
haven't even got to the good part yet
its MIJ, its for the UK market, sure there are differences in the headstock
I'm not sure wat model is it, cause i seldom look at custom models but
from what i know, custom models might not have a maple cap, IE an all mahogany body
but if it does have a maple cap, it'll have a cap lah, tone wise, only if you're an absolute tone-wh*** you'd be able to tell the differences in the higher registers else they both sound great.
You might wanna try out the neck, this should follow a Gibson 50's neck quite closely, having quite a thick neck and an even thicker neck joint.
but it's quite a good guitar.
I don't see fret edge bindings, and the truss rod cover, so i'd guess it's an early 90's tokai LC-60
genereal specs would be all mahogany body and rosewood fingerboard
should be a great guitar, tokai makes very very good lp copies

the original 50s gibson LP customs didnt have maple caps.
the LP that LP himself prefers and plays also doesnt have any maple cap.
if not mistaken, the custom shop '57 reissue LP custom also doesnt have a maple cap.

Yeah, I recall many of the best LPC didn't have any maple caps
but it didn't make them any lighter? Used the heavier mahogany?
Everdying
Jul 30 2008, 11:49 PM
mahogany is lighter than maple.
iirc, at the very early beginning gibson at first was messing around the idea of a full maple LP...but realised was too friggin heavy...so they made the maple thinner and used mahogany to bring the body to the thickness they wanted.
sean392
Jul 30 2008, 11:54 PM
yeah i know
maple is shi- heavy
iirc, gibson wanted to do a solid maple guitar with a mahogany cap
reversed, that's what i recall reading lah =/
actually i think its the thick maple cap that makes the lps weight "unbearable" =p
Everdying
Jul 30 2008, 11:56 PM
i also dont really like the maple in LPs...tho i dont hate it.
guess thats why i use SGs
