Ehh...what does fret levelling do?Easier to play?

Yes pretty much. It ensures that all your frets are at the same height (after continuous playing some of your frets will go uneven, some higher or lower than the others, especially around the frets that you play the most). Fret levelling enables you to have lower action and of coz, the frets will be polished hence giving you a 'smoother' feeling.

Ok I'm gonna watch the vid Blacktrix. I just REFUSE to believe that Marty Friedman can be pwned by Dragonforce!

Not just ANY member of Dragonforce.....
Sam Freakin' Totman

I bet he was sleeping with the judges.

Er ok I admit, when it came to effects, Rolly got pwned pretty bad !
I still felt Marty played better than Sam though!

Hahahhahaha..... of course Marty played better! Marty can run circles around them! Notice how clean he played WITH his finger......
Sam technically cheated by using his pick....... but then again, they didn't really stipulated the rules.
It's funny how the japs jumped up when they saw Sam's reverse hand tapping.

But what the heck was Rolly doing for the second SFX challenge? The first one, Ok..... I kinda get the choo choo train...... but what the heck was the other one? Spider crawling up a chute?

And honestly..... it's quite hard to beat the Dive Bomb from Hell.

Is it a weekly show? Where can I see the other episodes? I wanna see more guitarist getting pwned! muahahahah!

Dunno. I think it's Rock Fujiyama or something like that.
Gotta love those crazy japanese!

err...what video? any links?

.

Drrrrragooon FoArrrce.
Hahahahah...... those crazy Japanese.

But have to give respect for shredding on a Les Paul!

That guitar battle video makes me wanna get a les paul again.


By the way,what does a loop pedal do?

a loop pedal basically plays back what you've recorded, over and over again.. there are some nice gilbert vids on youtube with him using a loop pedal(that's how he sweep picked an arpeggio with his ass )

the guitar battle video makes me wanna get an Ibanez SZ.
any idea how much it costs?

Forget the SZ..... Get the SV!

non fixed bridge? nonono.... -.- scared of tat already. my rg is more than enuff hahaha......

eh, ibanez sz is discontinued har, any difference between sz n szr? coz they look the same to me.

ESP's SV nicerrr

esp sv mahal T_T

actually i find playing rr style v's quite tiring on the back....
its swaying my decision for either the rr v or a superstrat shaped body guitar =/

Why not go for an Iceman?
Another guitar to throw off your purchasing decision.

I'm actually glad to see that the Iceman is making a comeback. It's still a very cool design and to me, just screams Ibanez (even though Fernendes came up with one as well).

Oh yeah, do you want a Trem guitar? If you want a Trem guitar for "shredding", don't get the RR3. The bolt-on neck really hinders upper fret access if you play fast and would suggest a neck-thru Super-Strat instead. The Ibanez S is a VERY decent, shreddeble guitar. The Ibanez S470 is around the same price of an RR3 with a MUCH better trem and better upper fret access.

HOWEVER, if you want the looks and a great metal sound, the RR3 is the way to go. Actually, if you don't need the trem, go for the RR5. Neck-thru design and sounds amazing.

Actually, RG370DX is cheaper and it has more frets! Hence, better upper fret access!

too bad it has the edge3 bridge.
