I feel like buying an Ibanez JUST for him to sign!

Haha, i know. Doesn't seem right having an Epiphone with Herman Li's sig on it huh?

I wonder if my Internship job will pay me?

Hehehhehe...... If I have a thousand dollar paycheck, Bentley will have a sale for a new S series!

Haha, which S series are you after? The S470DXQM is gorgeous.

i wonder will he sign a SA series?

Haha, he'd sign anything (hopefully), especially an Ibanez man.

That's a really sweet axe man. Should be around RM2.5k i think. If only it had 24 frets, it would be the ULTIMATE guitar (no pun intended in relation to UG). LOL.

Hail, LYNsters!

Serpent Ash (the resident 7 String Sanctuary power metal band) is playing on this Saturday night (7.7.2007) at KL Jam Asia (Desa Sri Hartamas)...

Do drop by if you're free! Cheerz! RoXX on... 7-string FTW!

woo!
i'll have to check locations tho..

We would be very honoured if our beloved Moderator Mr Blacktrix were to make an appearance as well..

*hint*hint*

I really wonder why they don't put 24 frets into it...


Could it be because of the wood?

some people say having 22 frets will make the sound nicer in some way, i don't remember but i'm curious as well

Sorry mate...... as much as I would LOVE to go listen to some kick arse playing.....

I have a family Barbecue to attend

Sorry guys...... maybe next time......

22 frets have better articulation and harmonics and resonance because the octave harmonic is placed directly in the centre pickup(if you have a middle single coil pickup) or just in the centre where you pick thus allowing for a richer tone and easier to pull of harmonics both artificial or natural

also note that guitars have to be made to a particular set scale. . . if 24 frets the body have to be smaller etc etc. . . many factors to be put into the building of the guitar. . . lack of wood/ proper wood balance etc etc

^ yea, it's not as simple as just chucking a 24 fret neck in there. They could put a 24 fret neck on the S series, but they would have to move the bridge a tad closer to keep the same scale length.

There is reason to be hopeful though. Ibanez is currently working with Herman Li on creating a new S series guitar with 24 frets and all, built to his specifications. Should be out around the beginning of next year. Lets just keep our fingers crossed and hope it doesn't cost a gazzillion dollars when it comes out.

would love to attend but i dont drive here in KL, so transportation is always a problem for me.

the only factor is the neck pickup location, where it would have to be pushed closer to the bridge, thereby it wont sound as nice as it should.

uhhh no.
the bridge doesnt go anywhere.
go think about that for a sec.

only the neck pickup, refer to above.

Serious?? Wow, i always tought it was the bridge. My bad...again...

k going OT here.
so what happens on 36 fret guitars? move the bridge til you cant put pickups anywhere?
