ANybody going to US?
I want an Ibanez RGT42DXFM which is limited to US... my ex-guitar teacher's US supplier has it, but it's a contract/policy not to ship it outside the US. Arghhh...
I'm dead bored of black, hence the reason why I dont want the RGT42DX BP which is available here.

yeah man... but now oni the money is available...

if u were to put it in a road ready case with all its aluminium frame and such also cannot stand their tossing?

I'm on ur side... i actually don't have any proper big amp... always hijack ppl's one... LOL.

yea, u're reffering to the RGT42DXFX... also US exclusive, like the one i wanted.

I will try my best to find a way to get it out of US tho...

Woot... Looks like i've settled for something better. the RG1570MRB Prestige.
Receiving it soon.
BTW, whom shud I go to get my floating trem setup properly? Preferbly affordable. Or shud the japanese prestige models be setup already?
First time I'm getting a guitar with a floating trem.

Will do!

As far as I know, it is supposed to have a very board and even tonal spectrum.
Basswood's reputation suffered in the past due to other woods being mistaken as basswood.

Rofl... balsa. Now that'll be a super light and soft guitar.

anyway copied from tom anderson guitarworks:

Basswood
Pronounced bass like the fish. This wood gained popularity in the 80s and for a time was probably the most used wood for locking tremolo guitars. It is very light weight and produces a fairly even and full mid-range response throughout the entire band width. Many people feel it is extremely well matched with humbucking pickups because it produces a lot of the same frequencies that humbuckers easily reproduce. This is not to say that single coil tones aren't great as well. Toward the end of the late 80s, a few other species of woods were mistakenly thought to be basswood and this seemed to lead to a decline in basswood's popularity. However, true basswood does produce a very pleasing midrange tone and is the only type of basswood used here at Tom Anderson Guitarworks. Ifs natural color is light blonde to of white with little to no discernible grain. For this reason, an opaque paint color is usually chosen for a solid basswood body.

I definately agree with u they look really bland.

u can start straightaway with electric also cause u can play an electric the same way u play an accoustic but of course they won't sound or feel the same. an accoustic will always sound best as an accoustic and an electric as an electric.

EDIT: accoustic i mean folk guitar, not classical.

go find the G3 VCD/DVD's. sure got him. Got quite a few released adi, u can find in our local stores. Since u're from ipoh, the music shop selling CD/DVD's one or two lots away from the Music Store in Jusco/Kinta City has them.

Well, I can play everything except the fast scales. I suck at speed and improvisation. My finger's aint fast enough, need more practice.

nope IIRC, the J comes from Team J Craft, a team of Japan Ibanez luthiers. Occasionally they make very limited runs of J-custom models, pretty much the best Ibanez you can find.

examples of some of the rarer j-customs:

it isn't painted btw, the contrasting colour of the gears is a different wood inlaid.

The Korg is actually one of the easiest around to use actually. Otherwise I suppose you can find the manual online.

The adaptor for the Korg? Original Korg new one is RM70 the last time i checked cause i lost my original one before. Got a Casio one to replace it costed me somewhere around RM40 i think. Get a relatively good adaptor and you'll be fine. Just don't buy the 10 bucks pasar malam one, from my experience their voltage regulation is bad cause i tested with a multimeter before.
Specs for it is 9VDC, Inner ring -ve, outer ring +ve.
