no man! do not even bother. I have E-AL-120 and i tried Alexi-600 in the store... they are same quality and sound the same. There is absolutely no point in getting an edwards in your case. I bought an edwards, because i am in canada... and guitars here are rip off everywhere... they are like 50% more expensive than in the USA - same shit as you guys have but u pay more! So ordering E-AL-120 from Japan to Canada is cheaper than buying Alexi-600. In the US you guys get amazing deals on LTDs and ESPs unlike here.
esp alexi laiho vs ltd alexi-600/e-al-120

a 1000-2000€ guitar can and will sound like a 100 € one through a crap amp and/or bad set up. You wont do the guitar justice through a marshall mg or a fuckin line 6 spider.
yepp, this is the ultimate truth! a lot of people don't pay attention to the amp quality and setup. In my opinion it's more important than the guitar itself. I know some people like that in my town - one has a 500$ guitar that he plugs it into 15watt practice amp and the other one has like 4 guitars with the cheapest being 600$ that he sold and the most expensive being 1500$ which he plugs to roland cube 30 - fortunately for him he bought peavey valveking 212 just last week so that's an improvement. There is even a guy on this forum with Jackson RR24 and Roland Cube 30 - to me it doesnt make sense to plug a 1000$ guitar into 180$ amp - especially the guitar that's designed to overdrive tube amps like RR24.

How much is your budget?
Also this would have to be asked in GUITARPLAYERS THREAD instead of bumping this ancient thread.

sorry i bumped htis cause someone here was from canada so he knows the pain we go through when it comes to music instrumen prices, my budget is strictly 1200 dollars, im all for the rr24 honestly but the thing is i own an ESP and iv been extremely satisfied with its quality and neck etc, it really suits me and iv heard there have been some bad quality models of the rr24 (pain jobfaults) so im kinda hesitant otherwise i love the rr24 and i would buy it over the edwards but its that simple thing that gives me a doubt, this is gonna be my first jackson if i buy it and im really into buying it but again i just hope its a good quality piece, ESP has never disapponited me thats why

haha iv seen all those pics and i love the rr24 out of the edwards and ltd-600, if i buy it its from a very reliable ebay store that ships from america to canada cause firstly looking for a specific model jackson is a horror when i last went to toronto so ill get it off the ebay store heres a link:

i think im just going to buy the rr24, hows the neck phenom? compared to an esp's? and i hope it is able to be setup on a low action ccause low action guitars really effect my playability in a good way

Well the neck is pretty thin. It's like a wider version of a Wizard 2 neck IMO. It gives a good grip for lead playing and meaty riffs. I like the quality on it too...ive had no problems. Now that its set with 11-50 strings it plays like a dream. Only thing you MIGHT have problem with is reaching the 24th fret with your pinky. I think my action is pretty low. With the string gauge i use now i don't get any fret buzz in Drop C/D tuning.

yeah the guitar i have atm which isnt much (ESP LTD Dv-200, back when mustaine was endorsed by ESP) it has a pretty thin neck and its a V too with no cutaway btw and i have no problem reaching the 24th fret on the v's iv tried, yeah im going to be using my curent guitar for standard tuning and use the jackson for C/d tunings myself as i play in flames and bodom alot, 11-50 strings would be perfect for those tunings i think, so iguess ill go with the rr24, hopefully ill be able to play one before i order it thanks alot phenom

Remember to set up the bridge well then and take care of it and it will take care of you! No problem...ask me if something more is needed
You can't really compare...the price difference is 1000 dollars
Plus i would get a RR1 In Quality im sure the SV will pwn all(dunno bout RR1 tho)
