Annd if you have a few hundred bucks for spare change the bridge to a black OFR

 

[MattK]

I think I will put a black floyd and black tuners. Would most standard tuners fit?

also yeah I don’t know what the deal with the green knob is lol

 

[Works0fheart]

Nahh man, get the gold floyd and tuners.

I just picked up this same guitar recently but I think mine has a deeper cutaway

 

[SIND]

I'm glad someone on the forums snagged that Edwards! You will have to let us know what you think of the Dimarzio D-Sonic that it comes with. I always loved the tones that xKamen on Youtube got out of his Alexi models with the D-Sonic installed in them.

This is what I would do too, even Alexi had gold hardware in his sawtooth model at some point early on. I also like the same look on ESP SV's.

But hey, do whatever you like. That's a nice axe!

I’ll have to do some research and find some comps

 

[MattK]

Can we discuss the boosters again?

Im being stood up by thomann again, and they moved the shipping date past the 1st of June, so I cancelled my order for the EMG ALX set/ABQ. EMG must be backordered by everyone suddenly buying all their stock, or a guitar company need everything they can make of these.

I went on local Facebook guitar group, and guess what i found?
EMG HZ-H4 and HZ-H4A.
I'll give the H4 another try, and I'm excited to try the H4A as well.

Guess how much i paid? 33€ shipped to me

Now i just need me one of them boosts, as I'm tired with OD pedals.
Should i just buy this from that guy?

Lol, thats a horrible link. Shipping is more than a third of the price for me, and I'll have to pay another 40 € in taxes and shit.

Is it way better to save for a while and get the mm-04 from musamaailma.fi? Or will this get me there, sound wise?

Having tried 3 of those exact boost copies, I honestly think the ABQ or the MM-04 is a better choice. Those JE-1000 copies are nice and quiet and definitely have all the gain, but I feel like they never quite get the cocked wah tone that we all crave.

I think the MM-04 is better than the JE-1000 clones that guy is selling. I had one in a RR24M with a J50BC and it was kinda meh. If you don't mind soldering I'd go for the MM04, if it causes problems I'd try to find an EMG ALX/ABQ set instead.

I'm fine with soldering, build and mod pedals and stuff.
My main problem is that the ALX/ABQ are sold out everywhere. Stores just simply do not have them in stock. I can find the red HOB one on ebay, but it's a bit much money and it'll look stupid on my guitar.
The MM-04 is a bit pricey, so thats why I'm asking about the JE-1000 copy, but if its the worst choice of the 3, I'd rather pour in some more cash and get the best.

OMG! I'd lick the fucking dust from the wah pedal, just to set tongue on where the foot of god has once trod.

JK, almost. But those are sick.
Like with the guitar posted, this is also way out of my league. I'll probably pick up a second hand Marshall JVM head or start building a rack again.

I received my 30€ HZs today and since i didn't (and can't) get the ALX/ABQ set, i purchased an MM-04 from musamaailma.fi
It was 120€ +30 for shipping.

Anyone have any experience with evh amps? Seems like a good deal local to me and I’m gonna look at it next week, can get it for 1050. Sick of using modelers and want to go more old school amp wise

Great amps! I like the 6L6 versions the best. Plenty of gain and the cleans are very Fender-esque. Had plenty of guys in my town gig/tour that use the 50w head like you're looking at and it always sounded good. Can't speak too much on the cabinets or the speakers, but they've got to be good if Eddie put his name on them lol.

The guy on ebay is a sham.
there was a guy on these forums that made GOOD JE-1000 clones.


On this forum Rune gave a OG JE-1000 to the guy and he completely reverse engineered it. i believe he was called RR480 on here.
He then proceeded to make the clone with high end parts, it came with option for push-pull aswell, so you did not need to drill a hole in your guitar.
Back then I bought one for €50 which was alot to me then, but now i regret not buying 2. it was REALLY good!
I currently have it in my RR and it sounds great!.
Recently I found him on reverb since a few months ago I was looking for the manual, he might do another run if enough people are interested
