Well, PF songs were made on a Strat, so i guess it should do just fine.

Woah, that Epi acoustic looks like its just been on 'Pimp My Axe' tongue.gif
Everdying

I was looking at the Malaysian website. They didn't list that model there and it wasn't on the Japanese site either lol so I thought it was a discontinued model.

To Mr.Z (until now I still cannot figure out hot to use the multiquote system. Maybe it doesn't work on FF) :
Thanks for the offer but I think I'll hold out a little while longer. smile.gif

Hmmmmm. I'm teaching acoustic guitar. I think that makes me need a new guitar. And Everdying has been tempting me with THAT guitar. Which means "I" need that guitar tongue.gif
Everdying

btw, aug 9 - 16 is official Elvis week.
im real tempted to get a bassist and drummer together and bang out some elvis stuff at my friend's pub.
he does elvis stuff every year.
blacktrix
Darn it! If I can get it for under 1.5k, will think about it next year. At the moment, cash ran out for my guitar fund. Have to save up for Japan in January...........

Speaking of which........ might just pick up a cheap Jap guitar. Maybe an Ibanez? Maybe a Caprison? Who knows!!!!

Yes.......... this guitar thing is an addiction.
fatboythin
Your going to Jap? Get yourself a Jackson Stars! biggrin.gif

I think the cheapest guitar there is easily worth USD 50k and the 38' D-28 is at least USD 500k shocking.gif
fatboythin
What?! Now i feel depressed.. sad.gif
enteryourusername
now why would those vintage guitars cost so much? -.-?
blacktrix
Don't see the Vai DNA in his collection......NOT COMPLETE!!!!!!!

And why does Segal's guitar's cost so much? Maybe it's because he's a major douche.
fatboythin
Haha, quite true. But he has the money to spend, so it doesn't bother him. Darn, Jackson Stars RR-J2SP is sold out, and now i have GAS for a Jackson Stars RR-TN02EMG. Wanted the RR24, but this seems like a better deal because its a little cheaper even after shipping (before customs though), and has 24 frets, white binding and a neck pickup. I hate GAS. sad.gif

And what is the Japanese obsession with dual EMG 81s? Jackson Stars and Edwards/ESP both have dual EMG 81s on most of their axes. sad.gif

Maybe cuz thats what almost every metalhead wants?
Actually Jackson pickups aren't half bad =/ I actually prefer the J-95 over a duncan SH4 [JB] for chord work, but for lead play, the JB cuts through better partly because of the equalization of the SH4 =/
but the J95 sounds wayyyyyy heavier =/
Maybe thats y alexi used the j90c b4 jumping to h4+afterburner and now on blackouts =p

harbinger not the only dood w/ capalison leh =p
but dang lah, caparison dam nice
u think a jackson stars soloist can match it?
fatboythin
Haha, you made one mistake sean392. Alexi used a J-50BC pickup & JE-1000 gainboost in his Wildchild and Stone axes. The Jackson pickup was quite nice sounding for leads, but it just didn't cut it for rhythm. Yea, now i sound like a total fanboy. tongue.gif

But that aside, if the guitar is coming stock with EMGs, it would be a lot better if they had a 81/85, or better yet 81/60 set instead of dual 81s. I guess thats the only flaw of most Japanese axes.
sean392
ah yes!!!! j-50bc
yeap yeap, dang too many too numbers to remember heh
i'm an alexi fan too =p
funny the J95 is like upside down of the j50bc =/


85/60 combo would be nice for emgs IMO
i tried an 81 b4 in a jackson kelly
its like an extra sweet donut dipped in condensed milk
ultra trebley =p
the 85 on the neck was alot warmer, despite being very fuzzy << really high gain
fatboythin
Yea, i heard that the 85 would be more suitable in the neck position for alder bodies because the 81 would sound too trebley. But i haven't been able to try out any axes with this configuration, so i can't really tell for sure whether its really much better.
blacktrix
I just got my Lp-100 back from Eng at JS Music after a MAJOR overhaul.
Finally got the electronics fixed, screws replaced, installed Schaller tuners (had to widen the holes though), Intonation reset, string changed and Straplok installed.

It now sounds like a whole new guitar. Totally worth every single cent I paid (RM 160, but Most of that was for the intonation setup).

Seriously recommend Eng if you need to service/repair your guitar.

Added on August 6, 2008, 10:40 pmfatboy-ur gonna skip on the demmelition?plus how much for the jackson stars above
fatboythin
Yea, i prefer an RR shape and the Demmel can't compete with the Jackson Stars' quality. I was quoted RM4.8k including shipping and a softcase. Pretty good deal IMO since the Demmel/RR24 are slightly more expensive and aren't the same quality as the Jackson Stars.

Have a look at this website: http://www.guitarjapan.com/jackson/index.html
You can also e-mail them for quotes or any extra info and they'll usually reply within 24 hours.

heh, u should try looking at digimart and ishibashi ubox, some really cool jacksons [grover,stars etc]
for a really good price

or you can wait for gappy to bring in some jackson stars in a few months time
heh

unless you don't like used gear lah

for grover jackson you'd want stuff from 89 - 95, those were best grover jacksons, which their high end models are on par with MIA jacksons

jackson stars are good quality guitars, if compare to pro series
like fatboy said, they're 24 frets RR, the best deal that all of us RR fans wanted.
2 pickups, 24 frets, Sharkfin inlays, neck binding, wut else we want? tongue.gif
fatboythin
Its the replacement for the RR-J2. The ones on that site are the old models, almost the same price and specs as the 2008 models as the RR-TN02EMG above.

wut else can we ask for?
our headaches are gone now, but the thing is.. the price tongue.gif
i mean, yes its worth the price, but if they can create a bolt on and of quality of the RR3 with similar price range, then that'll make more happier rclxms.gif
