Dimarzio is the only manufacturer that makes it very clear that DC resistance may not have much relationship with hotness HS-3 is a vintage output pickup, but its specs make it look like it's very hot: Wiring: 4 Conductor Magnet: Alnico 5 Resistance: 23.72 Kohm (except that the mV thing is...

Haha yeah ... I'm not gonna pay 4.5k AND wait 30 months to get a Jackson ⏰... If wait was 12-15 months and it were the right price I'd do it... But I guess it's not their priority to sell USA guitars currently...

oh man, I'm getting so many "eh, you should consider these other options" Maybe this is the hidden message? haha

Thanks for the input. I actually do have a MIM Charvel dk24. My only two color options were gloss black or satin pink, since I'm lefty I took the black. I play it every day and enjoy it a lot ... i put suhr pickups in it and love it even more The ONLY thing I'd upgrade is maybe refretting to...

maybe, I just don't know who could build something like it. - Warmoth could be one, but the "24 fret" guitar they build is really a 22 fret guitar with an overhang, which doesn't work for me - Sully could be another option, but man, $2.7k is hefty... . if it becomes my "the one" great... if it...

I regret this sale. I even asked the buyer if he would sell me back...

Great question! Budget: <$3,000 after all mods Desired specs (by order of priority) - 24 frets that are accessible - forearm contour - <= 8lbs in weight - made in japan/usa - A tremolo (2point 510 or floyd style) - HSS or HSH routing Extra credit if (by order of priority) - Has stainless steel...

I rotated a few guitars and I learned the hard way why some guitars aren't "the one" for me (reasons below)... the E-II ST-1 seems to check all of the boxes ... anyone tried it, and if so, how did you like it? How do you feel about this "semi-contoured" heel join of the bolt-on ESP/E-II ST1...

I think LTD is a great package, but Ibanez RG prestige is hands down the better guitar, especially if you're talking about the $2,000 RG 5000 series. I have the hardtail ebony fb version... I love it

I like this one a lot! I hope they make a 24-fret sun valley super shredder made in japan WITHOUT the ultra narrow 41mm nut... maybe with a 2-point 510 bridge... or floyd

So I've had this Charvel Dk24 for about a week now... I can't say enough good things about it,... and I love its neck pickup (SD Alnico II Pro) for cleans and mid-drive stuff. But, when kick in the overdrive and play faster-ish solos, I find it hard to hear the notes and I end up having to pick...

Surprisingly, no! I had already budgeted time for a fret level, since 9 out 10 MIM guitars I played in stores badly needed one. I used a fret rocker and didn't see any dead spots... playing around the neck didn't find any buzz either. But the guitar needed more rounded fret edges. Like, really...

Ah, I see, thanks!!! I also have an Aldrich on a Alder-bodied guitar, so if I get a suhr pickup, I might get an Aldrich covered so it sounds a bit different than uncovered then. Btw this color is stunning! Wow!

Wow, what a gorgeous guitar!!! :cheers: Was the Tone Zone hotter than the SD Full Shred? I have a Tone Zone laying around... I could install it instead

TL;DR: yay NGD and how do you like the sound of series/parallel of D-activators? Yay! So I finally pulled the trigger on a DK24. This is my first MIM guitar. In several occasions, I was between the DK24 and other guitars, I ended up opting for other guitars. But I always thought the DK24 could...

hello friends, Other than the visual changes between neck through body and bolt-on (and a minor upper access difference), is there any difference between ESP M-II NTB vs bolt on? I saw this old post that says bolt-on has "extra thin" neck while NTB has "thin U" necks... (which is the case for...

This is probably old news to many, but I just found out that Musikraft is back on building guitar bodies and they are now building true 24-fret bodies! https://musikraft.com/product/franky-body-stock-routs-copy/ I don't know about you but to me this is massive good news (I'm not affiliated with...

very very cool! (Did you remove the "made in mexico" part from the face of the headstock?)

Gets pretty dry inside bc of the heater, and wet outside bc of the rain

Very nice looking Ibanez! I even hopped on my larger screen computer to see it better hahaha I have an Ibanez RG8570z as well. I love it
