ESP's offset blocks are much better imoChris said:Plus cool offset fret dots.
desertdweller said:My old RG7CT had the offset dots. Yeah, they look cool, but if you're playing a live show, the lights are low on the stage and you've got a complex lead part you're playing up around the 17-20th frets, good fucking luck finding your place. You're better off closing your eyes and playing by feel at that point.

Magnolia said:I know it's Yahoo Japan Auctions. I have a bidding agent--Masato--in Japan. He takes a small percentage through PayPal (can I say that?), places the order (or bid) for me, and then sends me the goods. I been getting deliveries of various things from over there for the past few years. NEVER had a problem or complication with him one single time, ever. Bidding agents are very common. So the above site is not an impossibility at all, actually.
And there's not really a need to speak and/or read Japanese, either, in this day and age of things called "website translators".

Naren said:Ah... Don't get me started on the abomination called "website translators." If you don't have one of these bidding agents and are dealing on a auction directly with these guys, you will have to be able to communicate in Japanese with the seller. You can't just send him an e-mail in English and expect him to whip out a dictionary and find out what you're trying to say to him.
