so pretty!

teh dreams of owning a pretty lp and sg

see, sometimes its easier to have a certain model all looking like plain janes...like all SG '61 reissues.
i had a LP std before...but you ALWAYS keep looking around and see 'that flame is nicer la', 'that color is nicer la'...
LP owners are never satisfied until they think they get THE ONE...but it is never THE ONE...cos there will always be another with prettier flame etc
i think if i do get a LP again, it will definitely be a black LP custom...
...with gold racing stripe and maltese cross...

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 Tokai Les paul is from the mid 80's ...with a long tenon neck (it seems like the most important thing for me eh?

Similarly, Farida sounds ok, but its MIC and kinda expensive for a non-solid top (Rm900 and above IIRC). The minute MIC is mentioned, they goes
Personally i think its abit unjustifiable to pay such a price for an non solid top MIC.
Er, I just paid nearly 6k for a MIK Razorback....... how does THAT make me feel? Pretty stupid I know....... but wait till you see and hear it.
If it's good..... It's good. Doesn't matter where it's made.

yup. i agree with if its good, its good. but out of curiosity, would uve done the same if its MIC?
Blacky:
RM6k for the 255? I think you got ripped off?
IIRC, the last time I checked them out at Music Theme, they were only SGD2k, slightly less than RM5k...

Trust me, if you have an expensive guitar, you would keep it as low-profile as possible...
Well 6k, but I had some discounts thanks to Mesa
And I almost dropped 4k for a MIC Razorback last year.

Trivium fans, you better head here: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/shogun/index.aspx
Download their latest single, Kirsute Gomen. It's only open for 10 hours more, so quickly download it!
Lots of classic Trivium growling lyrics blended with his new singing voice, metallica-ish riffs (ala Crusade) and then nice melody (ala Ascendancy) in the middle.
If this is any indication of the new album, it seems like the blended the best of both album type! Good job!

Namqul, just start with a good entry level. I started with an admira malaga many years ago, maybe 6 - 7 years, it lasted me until now, and i never NEED to change to upgrade to another guitar although i do GAS for it.. lol
I ve never regretted that purchase, its a good buy for me.

hmm..was wondering, is a flame maple top only for looks or will it influence sound as well?
i understand that maple has a brighter sound, so when coupled with a mahogany body, will it produce a slightly brighter sound as compared to a mahogany only body?
trying to decide between an S670 and S470.. only diff i see is one has FM, one doesn't

Trix, you paid 6k for the 255? Isn't that quite expensive? I tought they should be retailing at RM5K+ at most? Anyway, get it fast and post lotsa pics for us. Which colour are you getting?

Maple only affects tone when their 1/4" or thicker, any less it's just to make the guitar pretty
Ibanez? I don't think any of their models now have maple caps, just very thin veneers.
So, to answer your question regarding that 2 models, no, no contribution at all.
I want to add tho, S-series Ibanez tend to sound RG-like to me. So......
You go decide properly lah =p
the ibanez SZ320 and SZ520 have actual maple caps.
eh? maple caps? what are those? i think the S look cooler that RG's cos of how thin it is. sacrificing 2 frets tho..

i was surprised too until someone i know with an SZ520 told me theres an actual cap under it...tho the flame maple top is a veneer...that should be obvious else it wouldnt be that cheap.
apparently, even the MIC LP's now have actual maple caps and no more alder.
yeah i know bout the MIC ones

You're a little late to hear the Peavey's heh
but finding a brand new 5150 is bout as rare as finding restaurant having roasted dodo for a dinner set.
6505 may be possible though.
But you're lucky, Bugera amps have arrived in malaysia, and they are basically clones of most peavey amps, the XXX, 5150 and 6505 are few they "cloned". To identify them, pay attention to their model number orientation. 5150 = 6260 something like that, and IIRC the bugera 6260 is supposed to be the 5150 copy.
There's a shop in KL which carries them, but can't recall it on such a short notice, perhaps someone would fill this later.
heh good luck
Er, the Trivium guitars are probably MIK (like where their Razorback 255 is made). And it's THAT cheap:
http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2008/...ure-Models.html
http://www.gearhounds.com/index.asp?PageAc...PROD&ProdID=592
And I Have tried the ML a few years back. Found the tone pretty much like an explorer, but a bit more "fat" to it. Razorback is heavy and all out brutal... also the body is MUCH bigger.

I think the Bugera's are in a shop in Cheras, can't really recall where exactly. Its named AEV or AVE Electronics or something like that, not too sure. Also, i just went to Bents Mutiara and played the Demmel AGAIN. Didn't realise it was extremely light. And they sold off the RR5FR and one Demmel. Now there is only ONE Demmel and ONE RR24M left in stock. So anyone interested in them better act fast! Haha.
