I had a Halifire for a while, the neck dive was terrible and the body was really thin which lead to it sounding kind of thin. The neck was great, though.
New neck profile is more 80s than MIJ or MIA. The MIJ and MIA neck profiles were about the same as the 2014 and 2015 MIMs. The 2016s went to a slimmer profile (more of a D less C) but they're still wider and a bit thicker than the Jacksons. Very comfortable and I don't really prefer one over the...
Got a 2016 Charvel San Dimas to add to the pack. This is one of the first production models of the see through red burst. I got the first one Sweetwater got. I love it. Its perfect. I did a quick YouTube demo, too. Got some good tones for just setting up the old flip cam...
Thanks! I try to get unique pieces without going overboard and blowing tons of cash on custom shop stuff. I like to have a lot of guitars because to me, variety is the spice of life.
I haven't liked anything Ibanez has done since the 80s. IMO even their high end stuff has been sub par from a production standpoint for a long long time. Most Schecters I've seen have been really really good, maybe you just played a dud. I can't say I've played a new ESP for a good long...
Thanks! I actually built that one from a kit and a bunch of new hardware. Was a really fun project. Plays and sounds really good. Yeah, that's it. I got it on closeout on Musician's friend because it had a chip in the fin. Its been a work horse show guitar since. Plays and sounds great...
Jackson just released a japanese line. The KV5FR along with the RR5FR and some MG stuff like within the last year... I don't know what you guys are looking at or where you are playing shows, but I use my Japanese Jackson's almost exclusively live and it would have to be a weird freak occasion...
Dual rectifier hands down... its fucking unbeatable. The flubbieness is nothing a good tube swap and backing off the gain won't fix. Seriously, it doesn't need to be past 1 o'clock
nah, you are going to want a high gain metal head. Bugera or Peavey have some decent ones at good prices. Check out 5150s/6505s/JSX/3120/XXX from Peavey or Bugera 6262s or 333xl out of what you have, I'd just keep using the metal zone as is on the clean channel, no need to boost it. Grab a...
don't boost a metal zone, only bad things will happen. Everyone is raving over the polytune tuner Boss makes a few nice chorus pedals and you can't go wrong with anything MXR. Seriously, for metal, don't use a pedal, get a high gain head and boost it with an MXR GT-OD. I promise, its...
