oh my lord, this thing...

first of all, BIG shout out to Jason at Drum City/Guitarland for being the only person on earth selling one of these, and for throwing in a bunch of goodies and shipping quickly. Buy your shit from him, you won't be disappointed
Drum City Guitarland

anyway, the thing sounds wonderful, but the F# is a bit too much for my puny Marshall solid state to handle

the high end sounds almost as good as my Schecter Hellraiser (6), which is amazing considering how much cheaper (and stringyer) this one is

now i shall play it until my fingers die :fawk:

also, I tuned it to G C E G C G C E , which is open C major on crack... anyone ever try this?

That black is SEXY!!!!

I love my Elite 8. Its a fantastic guitar for the price.

And about the strings, I had to get bigger ones. It sounded good, but it didnt feel right.

I really like those. I'm extremely tempted to buy one and eventually move to 8-strings instead of 7. I'd be tuned A D G C F Bb D G though...

I think the hellraiser abalone looks fine :scratch:

luckily I can do my own side by side analysis :fawk:

Wow these look great. Better than i thought they would. I agree that i like the binding on them better than my hellraiser.

The Ibanez is one of the exotic wood serious. Look great, great price, but everyone i have picked up sounded like utter crap unplugged. Plugged in they are okay but ewwww i would never own one. No offense bro! I very schhhmexy guitar

I thought it sounds fine, but then again, I have very low standards for the sound quality of acoustic instruments :rolleyes:

and hitting the F# on my new one makes the ibanez rattle occasionally :yesway:

also, I appreciate the SWAG from Drum City/Guitarland, but this has to be the ugliest t-shirt I've ever owned :noway:
