Guitar Player's Thread

I've got an RR3 and I liked it when I used to play it. I haven't played it since last June when I bought a new guitar (Cort Evl-Z6).

I upgraded it with gold hardware and an original Floyd Rose, which was a great improvement. I've never played high end guitars so I can't really say if it's good or not but yeah, I liked it. Playing standing was a nightmare though, because the guitar is really unbalanced.
 
what sort of pick ups are the esp alexi models supposed to have?

on the esp website they say it should have emg f-h2 pick ups and on some other sites and ebay sellers say it has emg hz pick ups or something...

help please!
 
RR3's are abundant, ive played 10+ different RR3's, from stores and owners, low and high action, different pu's and even one with a swapped bridge, NEVER liked it :p

Okay, Well last time I played them was way before the update and price boost lol. I think the guitar is good for the price and all. Ofcourse It does not compare to a high end good guitar with all components being top notch.
 
Does it really matter?

Get it and change to the pickup you want.

To me it honestly does. Im gonna spend 1300 dollars at least on the guitar so I wanna make sure things are the way there meant to :)

Is it easy to change pick up's anyway? Coz ive only had one guitar for the past 2 and a half years now and I havent really messed around with it apart from the strings, tuning and other small things.

Lol. Depending on how good you are with a soldering iron and knowing your way around the guitar, changing pickups can be a 15 minute job, depending on the guitar ofc.

Seriously, its better to get the guitar you like to PLAY on, and spend a fraction of the price and a tiny bit of time to change the pickups to get the sound you want as well. Instead of using eternity to find the pickup configuration you like in the perfect instrument, which most likely is not gonna happen ever, unless you're willing to fork out big $$$/€€€/£££ for a custom guitar.

To me there isnt much of a difference between the hz-4 and the f-h2 its just that i wanna know which one is supposed to come wiith the guitar. and are they both alexi sig pick ups? i just remembered that he has his own emg's...

h4 and h2 ain't alexi's sig pickups,he has his own custom emg-hz alx signature set,and ltd alexi 600 comes with f-h2
 
The actual CS models come with the EMG ALX pickup. The Edwards with Hz-H4 and sometimes with MM-04, the LTD with S&D or HZ-H4 or F-H2. So dude, all pickups were in Alexis guitars but does it really matter? They are all good and you can't probably hear a difference in tone. And since he's changing pickups every year it really doesn't matter.
 
I have a 212MB folder of random guitar pdf files. I'm going to delete some, but would anyone be interested if I uploaded some before?
 
Jason Becker tabs, Paul Gilbert song books, masterclass lessons, Metallica book, Michael Angelo book, Ritchie Kotzen, Rusty Cooley books, Attack by Yngwie, Shawn Lane books, Sound Engineering -Advice On Mixing (which I obviously have not read LOL!) and a few other bits 'n' bobs...

I've also got some things like Buckethead lesson, Paul Gilbert mag scans, etc.

Dude, I am intersted on the sound engineering and production stuff :D It would be sooo kind if I could have some :) Pleaaaaaaaaaaase, Mitch!:worship:
 
WildChildNumber2, the pickup that comes with the Alexi 600 is crap, I've tried it. Also the fretwork on the Alexi LTDs are not very good. At least on the one I tried.
 
hey mitch can you upload some of Paul Gilbert stuff and some of the engineering? kudos!
