I played a Pro Mod San Dimas at a store recently and it had the most fun-to-play neck/fingerboard. I’m not really looking for one more strat-shaped guitar but the neck (carved in Mexico) really impressed me as superior to other guitars there of fancier build. This is what Charvel has always been...
If I bought an LTD Arrow instead of an ESP or E-II would I feel I was missing much? they are significantly cheaper, made in Korea not Japan. Do they look or feel much cheaper?
Ya know I voted Giant Meteorite in ‘16 and was massively disappointed. I think SM Sterling wrote a lot about wiping timelines, we should ask him how it’s done. In his novels from the Peshawar Lancers the evil russkies have a way to bring about the nothing.

The VH140C has twin massive output transformers so there should not be any lack of bass propagation. i drive a pair of 215 bass cabs with mine and it’s full-spectrum domination.
Funny how the VH140C has gotten so expensive of late. I got one several years ago, in non-original dress, for ONE DOLLAR PER WATT. You do the math. I use this amp daily, usually on here clean channel and run various preamps in front. Right now I use a Roger Mayer Metalloid and Orange Bax...
Ye
yes, I must have. That’s what I saw on the Jackson site. I prefer the asymmetrical shape of the Arrow though.
I played a Jackson RR and in a shop recently and a Mexican Charvel San Dimas was so much better. I wish there was a Mexican alternative for a V. They really do know from guitars down...
drug wars always help create a thriving black market and more people end up taking the illegal drug. So, if you want to pump endless money into policing, with zero outcome (end steady corruption of cops) by all means declare a War On Drugs.
I have a HSS Frankenstrat I saved with Lace Alumitones. They lightened the axe up wonderfully and the Deathbucker in the bridge really works with the resonance of the body. I had a DiMarzio 36th Anniversary there before and it sounded awful. I put that pickup in a mahogany Epiphone LP-GT (slab...
What about Alumitone pickups? I got a set for a Frankenstrat I assembled and they made that axe come alive, partly by lightening up the body which had felt heavy and dead with massive copper coils I had previously installed. The Alumitones are great for gain (extremely low-noise), are voiced...
extreme elegance. I find the asymmetrical shapes like this, the Arrow and the Rhodes Vs more pleasing than the strict V design. Even most conventional curvilinear guitar bodies have some asymmetry. When played the lower bout looms visually larger so it makes sense to shrink it up some.
