In my opinion the weight's quite "normal" - not really heavy but it's not a lightweight either.

^Why? Because they have Alexi in the name?
I just tried the Jackson RR24 in hand. Found it for 880e discount (original prize 1300e) what do you think? I don't like the painted back, it's slow. And why is it better then the Alexi 200 ESP.

just some advice. dont fuck with big dogs. my right hand is bit up good and i had to go to the hospital, no guitar playing for a while 
^Luckily just the pick hand. What did you do to them?
Ok I heard there will be a 24 fret version of the Jackson RR3 coming to a shop close to me, sounds interesting. But the floyd rose system sounds damn complicated for tuning.

It seems like I read this every other page in this thread. It's not that fucking hard, unless you're a simian or something.
Maybe I'll look into that on youtube.. Eveningninja said don't buy ESP LTD Alexi 200. Should I buy it or not??? Other options are Jackson RR24 or Jackson RR3 (if there really is a 24 fret one available)

Go for the RR24. It's not a bolt on piece of shit with rosewood. I've played all 3 guitars, and I own the RR24. I can safely say it's better than both of them.
Really? In what ways is it better, describe please? I tried it on hand today, but not playing. Maybe the itchiness of the painted neck depends on the moist level of your hands. It was for 880e which they said was a special price as the original price was 1330e.
omgalexi-200 vs RR24 is a no-contest scenario
an alexi-600 is closer to the RR24 in build quality and all that. Which is better of those, is a subject of great debate, and probably just boils down to taste.
I'd go for the RR24 in this scenario

The neck on mine is very smooth, atleast more smooth than that of the RR3 and 200... To my hands anyways. I don't have any snag on mine, but I also keep it well cleaned. The tone is really good too, a majority of the reason I bought it. That and considering it's neck-thru, it's way more easy to play on the higher frets than what you would be able to do with a bolt on. 800 and something is also a really good deal, I got mine for 1,400 when it was first released so
Holy crap. 880e is a hell of a lot of money still. I'll try to get a discount if I go for that. And maybe sell some air guitars in empty boxes in ebay =)

This.
If I would have had the necessary money for a RR24 I'd have taken the RR 24. Sadly, I didn't.
Well. Maybe if I ever run into some sudden need of money, I could probably sell it for 500. I felt like I need to upgrade my 300e Ibanez (a tremendously good guitar for its price) into some 500e guitar to get my playing motivation up, but I'm not sure if my skill deserves an 880e guitar. I'd have to start practising stuff and not just fool around with tabs, or I'd be embarrased just holding it.

Definitely! I just wanted something I could easily take with me (not weight-wise though but you'd most likely transport stuff with a car as a rack gear user anyway) and set up. Awesome for jamming at a friend's place.

Ah well, I see the reason there, would do that myself too. Plus it has to be fun to be able to play and not matter about if you fuck up because noone hears you
What about the RR24 (now I know what the number stands up for)
This costs like 850e. Any experiences?
I have it. It's a great guitar for it's price, sounds awesome, the floyd rose, even if it's not OMG OFR it's great and stays perfectly in tune, and you clearly love the shape and all it involves. My advice is go for it.
Seconded on every front, RR24 definitely in terms of features and build quality, if you want something more COB-ish you could shell out the extra cash for very similar Alexi-600 but you don't seem as if you're fussed about that.
