You'd have to see if the string spacing on the floyd even aligns with that of the Ibanez- might be fine, or might make the width of the string spread smaller, giving you too much space on the edges of the neck, or too wide, making strings land off the edge of the fretboard as you get closer to...
So if you're looking to tune from low B to a high A, on a standard fretboard 8 string- you might have a problem. I used to have a standard scale 8, and I could never get it to A without it snapping. I tried to use a .007 as my high A, but it would only hold a G consistently, no higher. I tried a...
I owned one of his first 8 strings years ago. It was incredible. Sadly I let it go, because I was too young and head strong to have listened to his suggestions. It ended up not being quite right for me. (as I was warned about, haha) However, it was the most meticulously made guitar I've ever...
The RG8 is a far better guitar. IMHO the RGA is a complete waste of time and money, no matter how cheaply you get it, or how easily. That's just my experience though. I realize some people love them. I've worked on them though, and they just disintegrate when you put a wrench to them. (I tour as...
While I would agree with you that EMG's are not ideal- I was shocked by the sound of this guitar when I plugged it in. I am simply not a fan of EMG- but this thing sounds killer! Also- in reference to your concern about short scale- the low B functions fantastically on this guitar, and since...
Thanks guys! I had a ton of fun building it, and learned a lot more than I thought I would. I have three more on the build now for the band I work for. All three different configurations. Our two guitar techs are participating as well. It's a fun project we do when we have days off on tour...
Hey there SS.org! I've been away for a while, but I wanted to share my cigar box project with you guys. Most of us truly dig the concept of fanned frets- but that stuff is pricey!! My solution? I built a cheesey yet fun 4-string fanned fret cigar box. Had a blast, and I can't stop playing it...
I hate to be a negative nancy about anything, but I just have to chime in. I've worked on a lot of guitars. I repaired for 3 guitar centers for a while, and now I'm a touring tech. My Friend got one of these recently, and I've rarely ever worked on a guitar that I thought was a bigger hunk of...
"creating a new account is currently not possible." that's what I got when I tried. Sad- I can't get in touch about the grx, happy though, now that I've learned of the existence of liquid foot!! I love my axess mfc5, but sort of wish I had seen the liquid foot jr a bit earlier.
I'm coming in very late on this thread- but all I can say is this... I'm holding out for the multi scale. The intrepids look great as is, but multi-scale is going to put it over the top for me. I will no longer be able to to hold back my credit card. -- Rob
