I know the guitar has the Infinity pickups that you mentioned, but what does that mean? I know that there are two humbuckers and then a single coil in the middle, but that's it.

Middle settings are nice for clean guitar, neck pickups have a real heavy sound, the last setting is almost "muddy" I get pretty good clean, crunch rock, twang, metal from the pickups through my Line6 gear. Only thing that seems lacking is blues, but maybe it's just me. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Does it keep in tune fine with excessive use of the whammy? yeah, once its in tune it stays there, And when i "Abuse" my whammy bar, which means whenever i play a Steve Vai song to its fullest, it might fall like 1/4 of a whole step out of pitch on one string, and even then, i just turn the fine tuners about 90-180 degress and all is well. The only time it will fall out of tune is when a string breaks that is either E A D or G, since when the string breaks more tension is put on the other strings, if B Or the High E Breaks, since they dont hold up a large portion of the bridge, there isnt to much of a change.

I love them because it forces you to stay relaxed and not kill your hand pushing down on the frets or you'll put the strings out of tune.

Took me 1 hour straight to restring it and it doesn't go out of tune! So it's just a matter of practice! After you restring it 15 times it won't be a problem any more.

Jun 18 2008, 03:45 PM	GMC:er Posts: 562 Joined: 2-December 07 From: Denmark	WooHoo! I just picked up my RG350DX today! I was planning on getting a SAS32, but the feel of this guitar got me hooked on it. Jumbo frets and an easy to play neck with both twang and tone. Well, I'm sold! I am totally flying now! I find it quite easy to get pinch harmonics - and my fingers just got a lot faster.. As an added bonus, I saved $61,54 compared to the SAS32. This guitar is snappy!

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.
