has the groove.
So I got 8 string GAS on Saturday night and ordered a new guitar. It's only the budget model Ibanez but being my first new guitar in 6 years (thanks largely to my university budget/partying too hard for the past 5 of them) I'm really excited about it! Since it was an internet order it needed a bit of a truss rod adjustment and a lowering of the bridge saddles to get the action to where I wanted it to be but after that, it played really well. I'm quite impressed actually, given its price! The setup itself was really user friendly and only took me 10 minutes.
I was worried that the 27" scale neck would be an issue but I've not had any problems with it. The only issue is that the pickups are a little bit more noisy than what I'm used to so a pickup swap might be in order, although the stock pickups sound fine for what they are. Other than that, I'm absolutely delighted with my purchase. I'll have a clip up in the recording studio section soon![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Without further ado, some pics for you fine fellows.
