Haha, i told him to go through you. He said he'll ask me to contact you when he wants to buy it. But he went and bought at Bents without telling me, grr..

Best would definitely be a acoustic. But if you want to play acoustic songs on a Strat once in a while, it should be no problem since they have great cleans anyway.

Well, PF songs were made on a Strat, so i guess it should do just fine.

Woah, that Epi acoustic looks like its just been on 'Pimp My Axe'

Your going to Jap? Get yourself a Jackson Stars!

No need to thank me for giving you a bigger headache choosing, haha.

Haha, i tought you were talking about Seagul from UG. But wow, thats a cool collection. Yea lah, he's so rich, don't know why though.

What?! Now i feel depressed..

Haha, quite true. But he has the money to spend, so it doesn't bother him. Darn, Jackson Stars RR-J2SP is sold out, and now i have GAS for a Jackson Stars RR-TN02EMG. Wanted the RR24, but this seems like a better deal because its a little cheaper even after shipping (before customs though), and has 24 frets, white binding and a neck pickup. I hate GAS.



And what is the Japanese obsession with dual EMG 81s? Jackson Stars and Edwards/ESP both have dual EMG 81s on most of their axes.

Haha, you made one mistake sean392. Alexi used a J-50BC pickup & JE-1000 gainboost in his Wildchild and Stone axes. The Jackson pickup was quite nice sounding for leads, but it just didn't cut it for rhythm. Yea, now i sound like a total fanboy.

But that aside, if the guitar is coming stock with EMGs, it would be a lot better if they had a 81/85, or better yet 81/60 set instead of dual 81s. I guess thats the only flaw of most Japanese axes.

Yea, i heard that the 85 would be more suitable in the neck position for alder bodies because the 81 would sound too trebley. But i haven't been able to try out any axes with this configuration, so i can't really tell for sure whether its really much better.

Yea, i prefer an RR shape and the Demmel can't compete with the Jackson Stars' quality. I was quoted RM4.8k including shipping and a softcase. Pretty good deal IMO since the Demmel/RR24 are slightly more expensive and aren't the same quality as the Jackson Stars.

Have a look at this website: http://www.guitarjapan.com/jackson/index.html
You can also e-mail them for quotes or any extra info and they'll usually reply within 24 hours.

Its the replacement for the RR-J2. The ones on that site are the old models, almost the same price and specs as the 2008 models as the RR-TN02EMG above.

I get lost at their U-Box, haha. And gappy is bringing in some Stars? Guess i'll just wait for him to bring them in then.
And i really want to find a used Jackson Professional or San Dimas Rhoads from the 85-95 era. If i get my hands on one of those, i don't think i'll ever see sunlight again.

Not exactly what i had in mind. But since i would most probably sleep with it, that might be a possibility.

Thanks for the link sean. Wow, you have a Grover Jackson? Thats so cool, they're quite rare nowadays. And i want, erm, NEED to see pics of your Soloist!

*listens to gappy, runs to the car to get to LRT Station, realises its 11.40pm, goes back into the house and cries*

evalshtog- Here you go, too much info to tell you, so i took a screenshot.



Oops, too small. Hopefully you can read. If not just save the image and zoom in.

You forgot the important thing, DEPENDING on the price.

The RR-J2SP is definitely not available anymore. Although its been discontinues for quite a while, Ishibashi had a few units left in June. But i got an e-mail from them last week saying its all sold. Haven't found anything on eBay either.

I think you should go for the RR-TN02, better choice compared to the Demmel and RR24. And when you get it, i want to play it!

EDIT: Also, whats with everyone and the sudden craze with Jackson Stars? Did i cause it? Haha.

Don't bother, it would be a lot of hassle, and cost a LOT of money. Not to mention its quite hard to find gold OFRs here. Had that thought too, but then i realised it wasn't really a good idea.
