This time, will be better..... because will be in US again...... will keep you all in suspense of what I'm bringing home..... hahahahah.......

Remember the last "iPod vs Les Paul" incident???

hahahhahahahaha........

And here's a pedal board that should interest duckie........

A wall that is going to be larger in a month's time
I'm like Duckie at the moment....... contemplating on what awesome guitar to buy (graduation present to myself) even though I completely and utterly sux0rs at guitars.....

Er, you don't mean STRING THRU?

Floyd Rose IS a locking system...... you have to LOCK the strings at the top so it won't affect the tuning when you dive bomb. A String thru is when you thread the string THRU the body (or in the Les Paul's case, via a tailpiece), usually passing a Tune-O-Matic or similar bridge.....

String thru is based on the comment if he wanted the Dean Mustaine, which is a string thru body.....

Like I said, the Les Paul uses a tailpiece, hence fixed bridge, and the rest, like you said, is a string thru body.....

Added on June 27, 2008, 9:55 pmFor a 24 fret V, why not the new Razorback 255 V?
The explosion version looks freakin' amazing in real life.

Upper fret access towards 17 and above looks quite difficult though.....

The Corey Beaulieu sig is still awesome........

Hmmmmmm...... gonna sound like duckie.... but right now, I narrowed my choices to 2 top candidates to bring back from the US......

A Schecter Jeff Loomis (or C-7 Blackjack if I decide to forgo the Floyd) or a Jackson Mark Morton Dominion.







I figured the Razorback, I can get it anytime I want to from Singapore...... and I have set aside a small budget for that already, so I just resave abit more for that.

I might as well get something cool from the states I can't get here or Singapore.....

The other guitar on my list is the Ibanez S5470 Prestige if I can't find anything good in US.

The reason for a new guitar? Versatility. I'm going to sit for my guitar exams in November, might be teaching music lessons also, and I want to start doing more recording and composing........ so I'll need a guitar that can really cover a lot of genres.

The Schecter Loomis or Blackjack is really my GAS for a 7 String and figure with enough practice, can be a very deadly tool.... and I don't want to go for the other more common Ibanez 7 string guitars.

The Mark Morton Dominion is a really versatile guitar that can cover a wide variety, what with it's coil-tapping and the make of the guitar. But it's only 22-frets, which is probably the only factor.

And of course, if I try it and don't like it, will be buying either the Ibanez S5470 (to finally fulfill my Dragonforce cravings) or the Razorback from Singapore.

If anyone wants to chime in their 2 cents, I'm all open to ears.

(BTW duckie..... THIS is how you write a comparison)

Yeah, but I really wanted a 7 string...... If I wanted a 6 String, I'd go for the S5470 or the Razorback already........

Again, dunno about the trem.
Will see how much the guitar costs and see if I have spare change for the razorback or not.
If not, most likely will be taking back the Loomis with the Trem.

Hahahaha...... sorry mate.
Right now, the Les Paul IS the versatile guitar in my arsenal.
But will be downtuning the Les Paul to Zakk's specs once I get my new guitar and make it the proper metal guitar that it was made to be.

Right now, I'm contemplating swapping the EMG81/85 for a pair of Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pros (ala Slash) or DiMarzio PAF Pros and bringing it in for a total overhaul. If I find a stetsbar in the states or the Fishman Tune-O-Matic Acoustic pickup, might install it into the LP-100.

Sorry mate. I don't think you can JUST bolt on a 24 fret neck on a 22 fret neck........ right?

Oh man, this guy is freakin' INSANE!

Oooookay. Going to US soon, and preparing my luggage.....

So if anyone has anything you want me to buy back stuff, let me know ASAP. Nothing too big or heavy, and I MIGHT say no, depending on the size, but ask anyway and I might accommodate.

Oh man...... Suddenly saw this and GASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss



Neck Thru, 25.5 Scale, 24 Frets, Mahogany Body with a maple neck, Gotoh trem and the new EMG 81TW coil tapping pickup.

Drooooooooooooooooollllllll

Yeah, one of the guitars one my list is the 7 string version of the Hellraiser......... droooooooooooooooooooooooool

Bents should look better in September/October.......... That's when their super shipment is coming in.

Added on June 30, 2008, 9:13 pmHighly doubt there would be a cheaper version of custom made guitars btw.

Bents? Everyone is saying it lah. Just ask anyone there "when the new shipments are coming in".

That GAS passed away along time away for me.........
I'm back on my quest for the all-purpose, all-versatile guitar.

For price list, just consult Musician's Friend, Sam Ash or Zzsounds websites...... They're all about the same price as Guitar Center or a retail Sam Ash anyway.
