    RGA8 pickup swap question.

    Just ordered Blackouts for my RGA8. Can't wait to have them installed and set the old pickups on fire. I've seen that a few people on these forums have made the same switch, and here's my question: Where are you all putting the 9v battery when you do this? The existing battery compartment...

    Need advice! What do you guys think of this guitar?

    the body style looks like something The-Artist-Formerly-Known-As-Prince might bring on stage. :shred:

    People scared of 8 strings.....

    I was actually kicked out of my last band for brining an eight string to practice with the intention of using it.

    Fender Blacktop series - anyone played on yet?

    I understand completely. I've got a huuuge soft spot for the Jazzmaster / Jaguar / Mustang / Cyclone series of Fender guitars. I do just want to point out that the upper rollers (which are normally just a wide-range volume and tone roller) can be wired (with the right pickups) to be...

    This is arguably the most awesome thing I've seen in quite some time.

    That, at least to me, is the idea. If I want guitar sounds I'll play a guitar. I think the concept here is to allow guitarists access to those types of synthetic sounds (hence why it's called a 'synth') without having to learn traditional keyboard, which is the interface used by 99% of...

    Fender Blacktop series - anyone played on yet?

    A Jaguar without their switching system is almost insulting to the instrument. If you want a Jaguar, get this instead. The price hike is WELL WORTH IT. Fender® Products

    This is arguably the most awesome thing I've seen in quite some time.

    however, this has no MIDI pickup. There's no strings. It's not a guitar synth, technically, more like a keyboard with a fret-like interface and a touch-screen control to actuate the instrument. The tracking delay on guitar MIDI pickups is caused by the pickup and the synth unit it's attached to...

    This is arguably the most awesome thing I've seen in quite some time.

    There's been no official word on this, but it seems customizable to the Nth degree. I'd ASSUME that you can individually set each string's tuning via the menus as it would be the exact opposite of WINNING to exclude this. However, even if it's locked in standard tuning and concert pitch, I'm...

    This is arguably the most awesome thing I've seen in quite some time.

    It's BOTH. It has an internal sound library as well as a MIDI out to externally control MIDI devices (like my Korg Triton).

    This is arguably the most awesome thing I've seen in quite some time.

    I promise I searched before making this thread. If (sorry, WHEN) I purchase one of these I'll get an extensive (probably video) review on here for everyone.

    This is arguably the most awesome thing I've seen in quite some time.

    it has an on-board synth with 100+ sounds.

    This is arguably the most awesome thing I've seen in quite some time.

    I've got a friend that programs LINUX for a living and I think he and I are going to raise hell with this thing.

    What tuning(s) do you use on six-string(s)?

    I'm an Eb standard sort of guy, and I guess that puts me in Drop-C# when I'm drop tuned. I'll occasionally tune up to concert pitch to play Faith No More songs.

    This is arguably the most awesome thing I've seen in quite some time.

    First, let me qualify myself as a MIDI nerd. I do a lot of programming on workstations and I love good electronica. GOOD electronica. Shit like Aphex Twin and Juno Reactor and Skinny Puppy. The music I write tends to get described as more of a 'Short Bus'-era Filter or Ministry crossed with...
