Theory God
Okay, I bought this thing last month from peavey_impact. I got it a few weeks back. I know what you're saying: why so late with the NGD? I have a legitimate excuse, though: my camera was being used to shoot porn. So, that said, I've carefully reconstructed the events on the actual NGD (as opposed to the observed NGD). Enjoy!
Hmm, a box...
Hmm, a box from a different angle... but how to open it?
Bam! Staple remover!
Steady...
Nnnngh!
White gold!
I've never appreciated just how awe-inspiring a mountain of packing peanuts is until now.
Dear god, this thing's like a sarcophagus.
I have an eight-string cat, too.
Size comparison with my C-7.
Grovers.
Four octave open G, anyone?
My string wrapping job is kind of hilarious:
Bit of a stretch:
My initial reactions: the frets are way small, the stock F# definitely wasn't .72 (I put a .72 on there after I got it), the scale length is not bad at all, but having to use a .09 for the high E sucks. I'm considering tuning this thing lower so that I can get a .10 on without having too much tension, but I think that I might have to compromise with having this teeny little E string. The edges of the fretboard have some metallic smudges in some places, probably from when they were cleaning up the frets in the factory. It came off, for the most part, when I cleaned the fretboard. I might have it refretted at some point with some jumbos, just so it feels a bit easier to play. As is, there's no fret buzz, but I wish I could get the action a bit lower without fretting out on the upper frets. Overall, pretty good guitar.
