I would definitely try, it's worth it. I've had both the Hellraiser and the Loomis and while they both are good guitars I've come to prefer the Loomis. They sound different enough to where you would want both though. The Hellraiser to me is more of a rhythm guitar and the Loomis is more of a lead guitar, plus the Loomis has awesome cleans despite the EMGs. The woods make a huge difference.

I guess it really depends on what style of music you want to play.

this is what i want, maybe a little lighter?... how would one go about doing something like that to a loomis? I'm guessing the colored neck would end up being a problem. I like the red and all but i just wish there were some color options...

sorry beep for defacing your beautiful top...

Yeah that looks sweet as hell, could you do green as well? I've always wondered what green would look like.

All those colors would be better with an Ebony board.

The green looks pretty good with maple though.

are there any possible ways to do something like that without totally screwing up the guitar?

What string gauges is everyone using on their Loomis and what is it tuned to?

Mine still has the factory strings tuned to Drop A. I have a pack of EXL110-7 on standby, and a pack of DR's DCGL gave me. I need to check to see if I have the new ones that go to .059, and if so, put them on immediately.

How thin/fast is the Loomis neck compared to something like the RG1527?

I plan on putting a 09-046+059 set on it. The 010s are too stiff for wide-bending to me :shrug:

It's definitely thicker, but it's the most comfortably neck I've ever played, and the satin finish makes it smooooth.
