something worth rewatching

I dunno dude, but I would think no. And this will open another can of stale-ass between Gretcsh purists and Ibanez-freaks.Haha

I get you... But you know what? a partsocaster made with jap or american parts can sound exactly like a real strat. (and I am a FENDER strat guy...) Same goes for the LP models.

So, I'm wondering, perhaps it's possible? Except that now we have another variable thrown into the equation = Acoustic resonance... :wink:
 
partocasters rock ... my warmoth neck just arrived today...

the EJ strat has been upgraded with an SRV neck with braz board and SS 6105 frets. shiokness...
 
6105 frets are excellent.

I thought they felt somewhat "less clumsy" compared to jumbos (e.g. 6150, 6100) and you kind of have to "buck up" your fingering... for some reason.

Ya, Because they kind of let you feel the board and the strings and yet, unlike Jumbos, you do have contact with the board, so you can't afford to be sloppy. I don't know how to explain it though...
 
Perhaps, the reason why people turn to the blues as they get older is because blues being, at its base form, an intimate form of musical expression, the results of playing the blues (i.e. letting your feelings out) are more tangible?
So after spending the time... (most) musicians tend to realise that covering another artiste isn't exactly what they want to do. So they turn to the music that has the strongs links of heart & soul to guitar & fingers...
However, perhaps, people like Vai for example - found their own means of expression, so they no long feel the need to have a "return to form" so to speak.

I dont' know about the others, but I turned to the blues because I found it brainless and enjoyable. I meant brainless, because after years and years of playing DT, Vai, Symphony X etc etc, you can kind of just chill, relax and let your fingers and ears do the guiding for blues rather than your brain.

Perhaps it's a calling? certain people will be able to play the blues, and certain can do jazz, and certain will handle neoclassical better than the rest? For example, SRV will always be best at what he does, and Vai will always be best at what he does too. That leaves EVH in a strange position. He's a Clapton devotee, and yet he totally elevated guitar playing above the usual levels, and still stands at the top today as one of the very best. So I don't know what to make of it... :wink:

No lah... the height of 6105s are almost the same as 6100 (jumbo JUMBOs)

If I were playing vintage frets... super low type... ewwww...

Ahhh... this is what I was getting at.

I understand your usage of "brainless" in a non-negative manner and I think its almost appropriate.

Yeah... possibly the biggest reason to play the Blues.
 
stainless steel frets sound 90% close to normal nickel frets... just a slight high end "ping"
cant really hear the diff in a live situation anyway..

but the playbility is second to none la...
super smooth and slinky...your bends bcome effortless... plus they last very very long and dont tarnish:)

That's weird. Because I have guitars with both Jumbos and 6105s, and they feel very different.
 
the 6105s are tall .. but very narrow... i think jumbos are a whole diff ball game la...

6105 still retains alittle of that digging in vibe...

try digging on jumbos and you just go sharp...


and ditto on the ding on SS frets ... confirm must replace one fret like that... but these are Really very durable frets... my original partocaster relic has been really abused ... the frets are probably the toughest thing on the guitar.

Aye aye... they do feel very different but I was only talking about the height, in that sense the 6105s and Jumbos would be sama sama...

I'd think that, if playing with properly rounded/finished Jumbos you'd cop the same feel as 6105s but as you wear the fret down, the 6105 will retain the feel and intonation better because the contact area with the string remains consistant compare to the jumbos which just get wider as you wear them down.

But yeah - the feel is different...

ChanMin, I'm going to order another USACG neck in the future... want something thicker but with SS frets now. I'm still considering the SS... worried about the issues. Like dinging... or the frets popping out... need to do some more research but I sure as hell would like to just go SS.

Yup, this is what I was trying to say... for some reason, the words eluded me... whahahaha.
 
just get stainless steel man ... its more expensive.
But.. no regrets one... stainless steel 6105 frets for your guitar is like adding CAI + exhaust mod for your car...

its more shiok .. but yet its still your car - familiar but just better.

SS for FTW.
