Chris... that guitar is absolutely beautiful. I've never been a fan of Jacksons, but clearly I've never played a custom shop one. I hope I get to see you play her in person some day.
I actually have this same issue of my ibanez rgd2127z (which is a prestige model also) on one of the middle frets. I've always wondered just how big of an issue it was but thankfully this thread has made me feel a bit better about it.
The schecter atx c-8 I have has pretty comfortable neck. It is a little thicker than I would like, but it isn't nearly as thick as you might imagine. Personally, I think the neck on the rg2228 takes the cake. I was lucky enough to play one recently and I was absolutely stunned by how thin it was.
This is something I have been discussing with my friends for a while. I remember when the Volumes music video for Wormholes came out there were numerous comments on youtube calling them "numetal" and I was taken back by it. I suppose that there are many parallels you could draw between so called...
Any interest in a Schecter Blackjack ATX C-8? It is in great condition and plays extremely well. I have a Schecter hardcase that I would include with it. (sorry I know the pics are a bit blurry but I could take better ones upon request)
My 8 string is a 26.5 and it has a low F on it and its fine. You should be fine as long as you have the right string gauges. Isn't that thing in B standard anyway?
Ccan anyone help me out on where to buy strings for this thing and what gauge to use? I'm mostly worried about the lowest string. I tune to F and its slightly floppy with a 74(atleast thats what the schecter website says they put on it) What gauge should I use and where can I buy it?
I have a blackjack atx C-8 which is the same scale length (26.5in) and I am also curious what gauge I should use. I downtune 1/2 step to F. can anyone help me out?
