hmm my friend is selling his US washburn dimeslime for RM8k...
and he told me in ampang got 60s ford mustangs for around RM20-25k...very tempting...

The big and angled headstock actually contributes to the tone, that's what the guitarcenter dude told me.

Thats why Yngwie insists on playing 70s strats, big headstock
And thats why Gibsons use 17 degree headstock angle (higher tension so you get stronger string response) and snapping potential =p
but whatever sounds good. For references sake, many other copies use 14 degree headstock angle, therefore it doesn't snap that easily

actually its not the headstock u have to worry about.
its the huge ass wings that u will definitely knock against something.

i know i almost knocked my friend's dimeslime wings

yup the regular one , not matt's actual one.
anyways is the regular 255 korea made good?

Anything with wings will end up with chips!! Like RR-Vs, chicken wings and potato chips !!

wow quite the lame joke =|

those sharp pointy little designs on the razorbacks are like 'calling' for a knock to chip them off... that's the first impression I got that's why if I want to get a Dean, I'll most probably get an ML.

blacktrix has your dimeslime arrived yet?

Not yet. It's arriving mid Sept, which means I can only pick it up in October when I'm back from Europe :(

And evalshtog, FYI, The 255 also costs around USD1299.

Anyone knows what this technique is called?

My friend explained to me that you're supposed to slap the strings marked 'x' and at the same time play the open strings. It would help to know the name of this technique so i can Google around for more pointers. Currently blundering around the Net for lessons. =\

the X normally means that you don't play the strings. In your case, you just play the B and E strings.

Also, the White Matt Heafy guitar here. Going for about 3k USD.

its called rakes.

mute the strings with the 'x' with your left hand, then pluck/strum them giving a percussive 'cluck' sound. your B and E should be played as usual.

if its only the B and E string, itll be written as

Oh. Crap. I forgot about rakes. Sorry about that.
Ironically, was just playing Still Got The Blues and had that rake part in the intro. can't believe I forgot it.
