500 shipped.

I'm glad I didn't spend 1250 or whatever they are new, it's so light it feels like a toy.

I'm also going to route the trem cavity about an quarter an inch deeper. :Smug:

 

[Mystique1721]

damn, that's a sweet price! I would've bought it for that price even if I had no plans to repair that chipped wing; it's not like it would affect the playability so no big deal for $500.

Yeah but I want something a bit different then most people. Even though the RR is pretty unique on it's own I feel like I need to make it 'mine'.

I can't wait to get the 81 out of it and the blackout in.

Oiled neck, polished frets and a EMG PA-1 is also on the list. It'll sorta be like this but with blackhardware-

 

[Mystique1721]

very nice. I've never liked gold hardware, so I'm glad you're leaving the black. and my vote goes for the more "weird greenish/blue/yellow burst sorta thing quilted top"...actually, I think a blood red would look really hot. you're not putting on a pickguard tho, are you?

Here's my Jackson RR-J2SP BK/PNGD I shipped last year. That's a good guitar.. i have a pretty good sound with my 5150 Evh Blockeletter



Yeah i'm a fan of WeSC

Hey Mike!! You're member of guitariste.com aren't you? It's been a while since you posted pictures of that awesome Jackson Stars, if I'm right. It's yours, isn't it?

If it's you, feel free to sign up on the Jackson Addict Forum (French - Loads of great guitars over there!)

 

[marfal66]

Damn, too bad it's French.

I was about to link you directly to the Jackson USA and Jackson Import sections but you have to sign up to see them so I think it's not possible.

By the way, the Jackson/Charvel Forum is very well known and it's a big community!

Now you got me thinking again after I spent 2 years thinking about the natural flame top.

Here's the weird greenish/blue/yellow thing, I've seen a few of them but here's the only one I could find.



And a few other ideas-







Puke: gold hardware on teal)

But here's my main for the past 5 years-



So I sorta don't want another blue quilt top.

Maybe a see thru red on a flame top?

 

[JonWormwood]

And there's a story behind why my guitar is missing all the other shit.

Pickup selector broke a while back, volume knob died so I used the tone knob, then I sold the Evo/Paf that was in it for a blackout which will just go into the RR.



It's not like I ever used the tone knob or neck pickup.

 

[ShadowchildCOBHC]

Never really understood why people never use the neck pickup, it's a little more trebley and for riffing it's sooooooo much better than the bridge.

The neck pickup has more high mids and less treble. Obviously, depending on the pickup, but that's the general rule.

That's why many people use high treble pickups in the neck position to not get that muddy sound.

The neck pickup is never more trebly if you don't have a weird pickup set up in your guitar. That's why every serious guitar player coughs when youtube shredders toggle to the neck pickup right before they play sweeps (cheating).

The bridge is clearer with more treble. That's why probably every guitarist in the world uses it for hard riffing.

 

[OvSeth]

Jari's rythm playing sounds a bit like the neck pickup, but I'm not sure. I love his tone.

Speaking of pickups, bump:

Question - I wanted to ask you guys what you think about having a neck PU-cavity installed into my Alexi guitar. Does removing the wood change the sound of the guitar? Will it totally ruin any re-sell value that is has left? It's an LTD Alexi 600 SE Pink by the way.

 

[Swabs]

I highly doubt that removing a piece of wood that most guitars (ie: two pickup guitars) don't have anyway will effect the sound at all.

 

[Corny]

Agreed, maybe slightly, only listenable for the picky and the guys who believe in things like god.

But I think that the re-sell value will in fact be totally ruined.

 

[eveningninja]

Hm alright thanks guys. I'll probably look into getting it done then.
