ALL things regarding GUITAR, PICKUP, STRINGS

[Lifehouse]

I suggest you get an acoustic. String it with .11s and let your fingers get used to the fretting of strings. PM me if you have more questions.

Hey, it doesn't matter if the bridge saddles are not in a straight line, right?

IMO try to keep them as straight as possible, if not, u would be getting a different scale not to mention the shifted position of the harmonics of the strings

 

[ShredCow]

What do you mean by "straight", DarknessFury?

If you are talking abt the height of the saddles, they definately should NOT be straight, they should follow the radius of your fretboard. If your fretboard is flat, then yeah, maybe, with immaculate fretwork and a dead straight board, yes.

If you are talking about intonation, where the saddles all line up straight, then its also a NO.

You line them straight, your intonation goes out of wack. Do not line them straight.

Absolute spot on. Bought two Ibanez and had a really good time with them. They sound great and easy to play.

get waste money on GRG/GRX/GSA those wif G

yeah man, the gio series suck!

 

[KissMyAxe]

Yeah...a good entry level guitar would be an RG. If you have money at your disposal, dont waste time...hit on the JEM7VWH. The rockers' dream guitar. That thing is absolute gorgeous and has a smooth and fast neck. It also has a good resale value. Just my 2 cents :wink:

 

[ShredCow]

But the JEM uses gold hardware, wears off too easily.
Evo pups, compressed like no tomorrow, if you like it that way.
Overpriced in the first place.


But it looks good. 8)

i hate the jem, and all the other signature guitars.

 

[loldude333]

yup i agree. WAAAAAAAAAAAY too overrated to me. A good starter would be the Ibanez RG321MH. It's fixed bridge so u dun have 2 worry abt string changing, esp. during gigs if u break a string half way thru. And the sustain is excellent, thanks to the fact that it's string-thru body. Its made of mahogany too, which is considered one of the best and it's overall well-built. Just 1 thing I dun like abt it are the stock PUs but nothing a PU change can't solve !

 

[yy_fuctup]

hmm..yea.ibanez is great.sadly i bought a flyod rose iwth a floating bridge.lots of trouble restringing.should have bought a fixed bridge and non-flyod rose.

 

[rimuel]

yea man!i like the wAy u say it
