nice
lespaul with 60's neck eh
i've yet to play with proper lespaul neck dimensions [sadly]

cuz lespaul classics supposed to have a 60's slim taper neck
but i played with the newer [2005 MIC] lespaul classics it feels exactly like a 50's neck
cuz its really rounded and fat .... lol


but my lp classic [2001 MIK] has a really slim neck =/

so im guessing epi really tembak the neck dimensions only -.-ll

You just lost an oppurtunity to be complete. You know what they say, it ain't a les paul if it is bolt on.

You can get an Ipod anywhere but not a ZW LP everywhere.

is an iPod cheaper in US compared to m'sia or s'pore ?
i'd have chosen the LP (not necessarily a ZW, "just" a custom LP would have been enough) anytime over an iPod, but well... it isn't exactly the same price range either. And it might be a hassle to carry around, etc.. knowing blacktrix and his slight madness about ZW, i'm sure he weighted the decision very very carefully

i would have chosen a LP anytime over an ipod. ipod is just an.....ipod!

I guess Ipod is just one of those things that one must have to feel complete, kinda like a handphone, internet, ........

theres always the rm200 mp3 player at lowyat. hahaha.

Where's blacktrix ? Lost in US or got caught by the FBI or CIA for carrying his coffin case around ?

Tonight there's alot of gigs everywhere in KL, they are playing before the World Cup Finals kick off.

and everywhere is jam like mad, so travel if you have to.

Aww... but you got the Fab Distortion right?
iPod > Les Paul... You went to Guitar Center and you weren't tempted at all to buy ANYTHING there?

Once again it proves that Steve Jobs is evil!

Those will probably last you for a few months, and knowing Blacktrix, he might kill it in a few minutes. Jk... I love my Creative Zen Micro.
Anyway ecb we're pulling out on 21st... drummer has some problems... But I'ill be there for the gig.

Anyway guys check this video out :

i was actually talking about gibson
the epiphone LP necks are nowhere near as thick as a 50s gibson LP neck.
as for slim necks, the most comfortable neck would be the '61 reissue gibson SG

damn u rich arse!!!
i swear i will own a gibson [maybe a few ] lps when im filthy rich next time

one can dream cant they?

isnt gibson necks standardised to 50s n 60s? different yrs have varied version so of those 2 necks?

yea gibson necks in general only two different ones.
50s or 60s, but limited to the LPs.
my 70s SG has a completely different neck to the SG standard or even the '61 Reissue SG, its narrower but thicker.
'61 Reissue SG has the slimmest neck of all SGs, with its wide fingerboard it makes it very fast and comfortable.

ok, i've decided i'm going to *try* to like strats again.
so i'm thinking of getting a cheap one to begin my rehabilitation.
either the samick malibu mb-1 or the SX ash strat are my cheap options for RM500 or less.
mb-1 has some nice things going for it, duncan designed pickups, angled headstock, 3-a-side grovers (yea cant get out of my gibson mindset yet).
but the SX has an ash body, yummy

so does anyone have either of them?

at the other end of the price spectrum, i would go for the warmoth/stewmac option and just do a custom one, cept that would come up to easily almost RM3k or more, so i dont think so, cos at that price another gibson is better

and no, do not suggest squier cos to me the samick and SX are better quality.
and i feel the warmoth quality is easily better than some fenders out there.

Well guys, the least I could do is to post pictures of my new purchase...... so, hopefully you'll get some delight with these pictures too:

Here's the money shot:


And now...... close ups:









Only Problem with it:



If you notice to the right, next to the control knob there is a small hairline crack...... does anybody know where I can fix this? Maybe pour alittle resin or something??? Happened durring the flight back. the 2 control knobs also broken from the inside...... will have to buy new ones...... Other then that....... it's a FanTASTIC freakin' Guitar!!!!

Thought I had gone crazy and bought an iPod, did ya??? MWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

haha......yeah....seems everybody were thought that u had really bought an iPod......everything could happened...maybe u'll bring back nothing from US too....but...how do u bring this baby back? didn't taxed?

omg....the whole guitar just looks sleek and stylish!!! i love the gold plated tuners, bridge...so, would u change its pickup? do change those 4 control knobs to light bronze colour could make up the guitar better i think....

Congrats!!! Damn, you really got us there.

The crack there might have to be refinish or buff out. The knobs you can buy in Woh Fatt.

OMFG .....

PLAN A ON!!! Let's ROB BLACKTRIX!

Nice guitar btw...

Ah such trickery...

Deceive us to think you're bowing to Steve Jobs and then suddenly turning around to surprise us. You cunning one....

I can't see the hairline crack, and if it's not noticable, just leave it. If it's opening up, do what Erlewine would do and seep some thin cyano in.

And get fuzzy dice knobs, or metal skulls.

Oh, edited to add: Congrats!

good one ! i'm really happy for you !

considering the 357 customs offer... you're gonna have two epiphone ZW LP soon, aren't you ?

i wouldn't fix a hairline crack... maybe repolish it to make sure the polish covers the wood everywhere, if you're really a fanatic ?

And fjooking welcome back, dude !
