Take it for what it's worth but I have witnessed a gretch (only his was semi hollowbody) and every time his straplocks moved it created noise!

I doubt it's an issue here though so I say YES! Get that shit.

 

[mr.L.]

Get it! Great sounding guitars. Can do metal actually (sounds pretty good and has character), so not 100% non metal . Although I wouldn't try to play Slayer with a Bigsby

haha, not too interested in the Bigsby Model, Its a bit more expensive and I will be using it for a Pop Rock project.

I just Love the Walnut stain Mahogany backside and Looks Killer in Black top!

Mr.L Have you Played this model Much, or at all?

Yep I've played it a couple of times (the version with a bigsby that is). I'm not entirely sure if it's this exact model however, does look the same. The one I played sounded and played really nice.

 

[lolzgreg]

I recorded one of those (for a metal band, believe it or not). It sounded great and stayed in tune well, but the input jack fell inside the guitar TWICE.

Seems to be the Go to grab this Puppy. What can I expect from Mini Humbuckers vs Normal Humbuckers?

 

[mr.L.]

In my experience they sound a bit brighter and more open. They work well in a phat sounding guitar such as this or a gibson. Just looked up the one you're interested in, now I think this is a different series than the one I played, because I remember it was quite a bit more expensive.

a+++ on the guitar , they're well solid built machines and you can dial in a nice metal tone on them

 

[Metaltastic]

It's a totally solid body (no stupid faggy chambering or anything) right?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW that's a short neck though, even shorter than a Gibson! Though I guess you probably won't be tuning particularly low with it

No, Its a Completely Homosexual Chambered Mahogany Body!!

Yeh its a 24.6.

I Would be tuning to Drop C# for this Project, and i couldnt see it doing below Drop C ever.

As i said tho its not for brutal machine gun sounding guitar work which will cause wide spread death epidemics when people hear it being chugged 64th notes at 6807676973 BPM over quadriple time gravity blast beats...

so i think it will do fine....
