L4byr1nth Report post Posted October 26, 2008 I like the high action for slide. Nice guitar, though! Wow, it's ages since I posted - no takers on my idea? Flaunt it if you've got it! Ben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apmaman Report post Posted October 26, 2008 If I could record some stuff I would. And slide is greaat. i use to have a tele that had a massive action and I played it like a lap steel. I'm rubbish at slide but it sounded so cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris North Report post Posted March 8, 2009 Not as cool as most but it's certainly better than the one that was lent to me and a lot more fun to play than my bass. Does it make sense to get a hard case if I already have a soft one? I generally only travel to and from where my instructor teaches once a week, but it seems to get knocked around a lot even inside the case. It's not a very expensive guitar and I plan on getting something high-end much later on (when I'm actually any good ), but still... Also, are those little things that hold picks on the guitar stupid, or are they actually useful enough to buy and clip on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Report post Posted March 8, 2009 I find them extremely annoying, but I stick one on my amp, and that's slightly more useful. Hard cases are cool, but not really comfortable if you travel a lot with them. Soft cases/gig bags are cool too, but don't offer much protection. For an acoustic, I'd reccommend a semi-hardcase. It's like a gigbag, but instead of just foam, it's got like a tough polystyrene shell, and thus offers more protection than a gig bag, but isn't as heavy/cumbersome as a traditional hard case. Ben.

DrumBasher Report post Posted March 8, 2009 Hmm, camera's dead. But the best I can do is describe it haha. Levison Blade R3 in a nice deep red wine color. Its enough to make any guitar nut swoon. Lovely action. Not too high not too low. 16db's boost (optional with switch) active and passive. Need to fix my damned camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, annoying how? Might get one just to try it since I think they're only a few bucks. I know picks are only a few cents each, but I always lose them or they get tossed around and litter m,y furniture. I have a little tray on my amp for picks, but they never get put back in there. How do you mean not comfortable? Just not as easy to carry? To be honest I think I'll just stick with the bag it came with since it's the cheapest route.

L4byr1nth Report post Posted March 18, 2009 I'd get either a padded gigbag, or a semi-hardcase. They're not comfortable because guitars get heavy after holding them for an extended period, and you can't sling it over your shoulder, or whatever. Also, at B.I.M.M., they're not even allowed, because they present a fire hazard in large numbers, or something similar, so I might be bias. Hehehehhe all my guitars are kept in hardcases at home. I am getting an ESP Custom Shop. 3 - 6 months for it to be built Ben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T0p Sp!N Report post Posted October 31, 2009 Nice axes! I'm debating over whether or not to build my dream Fender Custom Shop guitar, at the cost of nearly £3000.00... Ben. Thanks. I've also been contemplating building my own. I was thinking of something along the lines of a light weight (alder, basswood) SG type guitar with 24 frets. The cutaway(s) would be cut and sanded so I can reach the 24 frets easily (like how it is with my Talon). Also, I was thinking of putting a nice virbrato/trem. on it (eg. Kahler). X2N, Single coil sized HB, and a Deactivator X in an HSH setup. I think it would cost below $1000, $300 if I can source certain parts cheaply. If I had the cash, though, I'd make a Jimi strat or a 'shredding' strat (Dual locking Floyd, scalloping, Extra big frets - the works). :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Report post Posted October 31, 2009 Hehehehe mine already has the scalloping and extra huge frets... No crappy Floyd Rose on it though Anyone familiar with a certain eBay shop, 'Stratosphere'? I was thinking of just getting a Custom Shop body, a decent neck, and a loaded scratchplate, and mashing them together. Ben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard they're pretty reliable. All their parts are genuine Fender, from what people have said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

apmaman Report post Posted November 1, 2009 Can't you get a custom shop one for about 3K? Why would you buld one for that when you can get the chaps at fender to do it for you... Nice bigsby on the LP Top spin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L4byr1nth Report post Posted November 4, 2009 Ooooh, also, I'm thinking about putting a DiMarzio HS-3 in the neck position of my Strat (it already has a Seymour Duncan SSL-4 at the bridge). Anyone know if they're any good? Ben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apmaman Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Not really good with single coil's. Dimarzio make excellent pups though so I cant see it being bad. Tried Bareknuckle pickups? All of them are hand made in the UK. Got a set in my Les Paul and they're bitchin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
