I saw Hagstrom are doing an RD clone with Ghost -
 I would be tempted. Ive always really liked the Gibson RD but they're tough to get and really tough to pay for  Are Hagstrom any good? I guess this model will be Indonesian made judging by the price. This post has been edited by bleez: Jul 15 2017, 09:16 PM --------------------  You say 'minor pentatonic ' like it's a bad thing |

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jul 15 2017, 08:50 PM) The neck is just a pinch thicker and the pickups are a bit cheaper. Other than than it's pretty darn close to the prestige line imho. I've got a prestige finally and its got the same neck profile as the original wizards and I can feel the difference between that neck and the wizard II, III, premium neck even though it's only 1 mm at the nut. I've always used an original wizard neck so I"m really used to how it feels. Still they are very nice guitars especially for the price. New prestige models seem to have doubled in price for no reason The PU's are dimarzio! http://www.dimarzio.com/node/2231 they even tilted them (placing rubber under PU's) to give a more single-like sound. Way back when I got my first prestige that guitar also had the PU's tilted, a very nice detail imho. As for the neck, I didn't check but yeah probably a mm thicker. Felt better than the korean S 7 string guitar my friend also had though, plus as mentioned that zillion piece neck didn't have any polishing like prestige's have which gives a very different feel to the instrument. |

I've heard they are good and they are not that expensive. And they have Lundgren pickups, only heard good things about them. I bought a RD mid-eighties. Liked the look of it but noone wanted them around then... think I paid 200 euro. Sounded crap with the original pickups so I traded it for something else... |

QUOTE (Mertay @ Jul 15 2017, 05:03 PM) From the stuff I've seen till now, probably the new mxr CC delay is the most important. Summer NAMM is a pretty low key affair and it's unusual for any notable product news to be announced. So, _any_ announcement at Summer NAMM is probably the most important announcement at Summer NAMM . Manufacturers like Ibanez often don't exhibit anything at all at Summer NAMM.-------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

You were right

Never was a fan. I like the unfinished neck vibe It's hard to beat for the price now that prestige guitars are running around 2k!QUOTE (Mertay @ Jul 15 2017, 06:00 PM) The PU's are dimarzio! http://www.dimarzio.com/node/2231 they even tilted them (placing rubber under PU's) to give a more single-like sound.
