Condolences, lol! Thank you :D
Nice guitar you got there.

LAG ftw! how is it dude? need full review ASAP

Full review:

I've been playing for almost 10 years. Played a lot of different guitars and own a epi les paul and jackson rr3 (japan) for more then 5 years with me.

Now this thing sounds great of course but there is one thing I've never experienced before ever: It feels great.

It fits like a glove, when I use vibrato it resonates like I have never felt before. And that is something awesome, it takes guitar playing to a whole 'nother level.

Also very weird, I guess due the excellent fret work but sliding stuff feels like butter. Like an arpeggio with an tap and slide at the high notes or changing hand positions.

I'll shoot a short video of me playing it. But yeah, never experienced something like this.
 
Awesome guitar!
I wouldnt mind one of those! :)

I would say that its a matter of setup!
Sliding tapped notes is easier with low string height and pretty straight neck.. and so is tapping.
The problem is that 99,9% of all the guitars out there are too shitty built to maintain such a setup without buzzing etc! ;)
 
boo at bolt on

never understood those ill-informed statements ;)

I've got some bolt-ons that resonate better and have more punch and sustain than some les pauls I used to have...
a good guitar is a good guitar, no matter if bolt on, neck through or set neck...
the overall craftsmanship and build quality is much more important than the method that's used to join the neck to the body....

I couldn't agree more.
You are so right, that the left fades away.

I think it sounds good because the bolt-on screws are really tight.

Absofuckinlutely!

Those set-in or neck-thru snobs have no idea what they're talking about. Some of the finest guitars out there have bolt-on necks and they resonate until no good. Caparisons, Framus, some ESPs, high end Ibbys, Fenders... you name it.

I much rather have a bolt-on maple neck to a mahogany body than neck-thru maple for a metal guitar.

And if there's ever a damage you can replace a neck or a body quite easily.
 
Bolt on allows you to adjust your neck angle etc. without any bigger problems.. id like to see anyone do that on a neck through! ;)

And my friend bought an old Aria Urchin from the mid 70's.. he held the guitar while i pulled with all my strength to get the neck of the guitar!
It was sooo damn tight its insane.. i honestly thought it was glued at first!

Set necks are by far the least resonant guitars. They are only glued to a small portion of the guitar and glue is not resonant. Neckthough is astounding when the neck and the guitar are the same piece of wood, and still awesome when it's not. Bolt on brings the djent. Guitars have a different attack that are bolt-on (which I also happen to like a lot).

Did you guys know that if Gibson broke their les paul necks and reglued them before they were shipped, they would be sturdier guitars?
