Megadeth: really? That's crazy! I had both before I moved from Houston, and kept official one. However, the unofficial one was kinda trashed after years of use. I must have played FFVII for over 1,000 hours since 1998. That's kinda sad, now that I think about it. :nuts: Looking at...
Hello all. I have a pair of EMG 7 string pickups for sale: The 81-7 and the 60-7 in black. I bought these for a project, but I just spent some time in the hospital, and it's best to get rid of some stuff before the cash crunch hits. Both are NIB. Asking $160 shipped priority mail in the...
Thanks guys. It needs some serious TLC, even for a pretty pristine guitar because it's been neglected for so long. It needs a full cleaning/polishing and setup. The bridge is sitting at a 15-20 degree angle because it doesn't have enough spring tension. But never fear, I'm going to get...
w0ot! It needs a setup, but I'm very pleased. It just feels right. Unfortunately I've gotta crash to get up at 4:00 am for work tomorrow. Did I mention I got it for about the price of that case new? It's like it's been sitting in a closet for 7 years.
If I'm talking out of my ass, someone smack me, but I thought EMG were manufacturing the Livewires for Seymour Duncan? If that's the case, might that explain why the Blackout 7's were going to use the 707 size casing? Again, I had heard this, but searching around Google I can't find anything...
Thanks everyone. playstopause & shawn: yeah, I love my Ibanez guitars, especially the older ones. I've got a line on a 7 string. If it works out, you'll be seeing it very soon. Hell yeah! Oh, and I forgot one of the best pieces in my collection... 1998 Ibanez SCN500:
Adam, that looks awesome. Two things come to mind looking at it: 1: 30 frets on a 27" scale length sounds like it's going to be awfully tight at the higher frets. Have you mocked it up to see if it looks/feels doable? N/M. Just did the math, and it looks like it'd be just slightly more...
I love those Chibanez Gems. Bodies made of plywood, hardware made of the cheapest metal possible, and only the finest prison craftsmanship available is used to put them together!
Well, I'll be up front when I say that I'm a little lukewarm to Ibanez' South Korean made guitars. It's not that they're necessarily bad, but the quality control seems to be hit or miss, even on the Prestige S models, which are all MIK now. We complain about it a lot on the Ibanez forums, but...
Yeah, the older Vandenbergs played great. I was too poor to buy one as a kid when they were in production, so I was glad that they brought the shape back. I need to find one locally to play.
