Crap. I just found out. Chicago has the HIGHEST Sales tax in the country. 10.52%.....
Eep.
That means if I buy a 1k USD guitar, that's an EXTRA 105 USD bucks....
Hm......... Opfish could get me a better deal on the Schecter in that case......
Unless I REALLY GAS on something big......

It's Dragonforce...... they already are 80s rejects.
I don't care.......... that song is freakin' SWEET!!!!!!!!!

nerd, don't encourage him.
He's Duckie in disguise! More than meets the eye!

Just ignore him and maybe he'll go away.

Don't worry. Duckie and his dupe accounts won't be bothering us for awhile
Ah, it's good to be a mod.

And no Duckie.... didn't believe you then...... didn't believe you now.

I bought mine from Low Yat when I lost mine too. Found it in ALLIT the last time. You can check Sri computer... you know..... that long lane? They might have it too.

RGX A2... that video isn't that impressive.
Would still take a Les Paul tone over the RGX

Er, since when does the RR5 come with Floyd? I though the RR5 was string thru only??

Bloddy heck! It's basically a Set Neck RR3 then! Should be awesome. Anyway, if I have time, I'm headed for Guitar Center today. If I can, will post pics of the Chicago store and my purchases. And echo, keep your fingers crossed for me to find "THE" guitar

Couldn't make Guitar Center today. Will try tomorrow. Wish me luck!
But I DID buy a ton of t-shirts from Hot Topic and Spencer's gifts..... including some kick ass BLS and Dragonforce T-Shirts.

Will check out a DVD store tomorrow if I have time.

Not going NY anymore Gapnap. Going to Disneyland in Anaheim California instead! *GLEE!*

Ok. Got back from Guitar center. didn't buy anything except for the MXR Carbon Copy and Schaller tuners. No guitar. didn't find the one I wanted..... but trying another guitar store today, so keep your fingers crossed.

Lots of killer guitars and FINALLY got a chance to play a proper Gibson Zakk Wylde LP custom. It's pretty much similar to the Epi, but of course the added weight and the neck is just beautiful to play with. tempted to buy a Gibson LP Standard with 60s neck for USD 1599..... but decided to get the razorback 255 from singapore if there's nothing good.

it's a used one.... and the finish wasn't that fantastic.... THAT'S why. Besides, even though it's my DREAM to buy a proper Gibson Les Paul, I would love to have a guitar that I can look at everyday and still be impressed. This one, Really didn't stand out to me.

Carbon Copy at 179USD. Schallers were 70USD. I also tested the Krank Distortion Maximus and was very impressed........ but still having reservations. Might get it in singapore.

But don't forget to add on the 10.2% Sales tax
Might be going back tomorrow to drool abit more and MIGHT pick up the Krank Maximus Distortion pedal. If I go with my dad, maybe he'll be convinced to get me a Graduation present

I also passed by a Vintage Guitar shop today. Drooled on a Black gibson Les Paul Custom and a few Rickenbacker guitars. Alot of vintage amps including a Boogie amp. Not Mesa/Boogie..... but a Boogie amp. Mostly acoustic guitars though.

and welcome to the club Paramore.... hope you'll enjoy your stay!

BANHAMMER FOR SWEETTOOTH!
Hahhaahhaa. But then again, it's Dragonforce. I don't care if it's sped up or whatever. It's still a killer song and at LEAST they can put on a pretty good show. And if you saw him live, you can almost believe he can play that fast.

Well, if you're not a fan of Dragonforce, if you heard one, you've heard 'em all. I don't care. I'm still impressed.

Damn, batman was full at all the cinemas here. And besides, It's still 10 bucks USD for a ticket here! I think I'll wait and see it at GSC, thankyouverymuch,.

And right now, having second regrets about that LP Standard
