Im still a tad bit scared to get a guitar with floyd rose but I think I can handle it. Anways as you may have read from the title im saving up alot of money and im on my way to getting a new guitar.
Right now im thinking of getting the Jackson KVX10 King V . Heres a great picture of it. http://cachepe.zzounds.com/media/quality,8...b1fef23fb4c.jpg Yet im worried about buying a guitar ive never played and if anyone has ever played one a description of what iits like would be appreciated. But im facing a difficult choice. I dont just wanna buy a step up from the guitar I have right now I want something that I can have for around a year and not have to buy another guitar to improve on the one I just bought, Does that make sense ? This is another guitar im thinkin about getting. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Sch...itar?sku=513103 The Schecter Damien Fr has great reviews and a sleek look but they dont recomend it to people not used to the floyld rose tremelo system, Yet I still want it but are certain floyd rose trems harder to operate then others ? I dont get it. If thats the case then could someone send me a link to other great gutiars with a simple floyd rose system.

GUITAR SHOPPING, AINT THAT A BITCH ? thanks-John In one of my posts, I believe its called what guitar should i get,i was talking to pavel, and he says floyds are great. Can be a pain to change strings, but the trem is grreat. Umm, i dont have a link to a guitar, but i have a link to a lesson on UG about floyd rose trems right here:UG lesson well, hope that helped!

Im still a tad bit scared to get a guitar with floyd rose but I think I can handle it. Anways as you may have read from the title im saving up alot of money and im on my way to getting a new guitar. Most people who say Floyd Rose is a pain in the butt I guess don't know how to set it up properly. Some skilled people may have bad experiences from FR but that I can buy. It takes some time to set it up properly for the first time. If you get a guitar with a FR system I suggest you take your time to figure out how it works with the tension screws, the springs, the locking nuts. When you just understand how it works and you can see it infront of you, you're home free. And, if you don't dare to take that step to get one you'll never learn, right? EDIT: About the Ibanez, I've got the same pu's in mine and they are alright, but just that. Or I should put it, for the guitar you're looking at (and my 320FM) they are great for that price. About the passive EMG's I played them once in a guitar... don't remember what brand of guitar or even the exact name of the pu's - HZ, H4 something - and I HATED them. Such an ugly sound. But that's just me. I understand they are popular as stock pu's so they must be good in some way This post has been edited by MickeM: Jun 11 2007, 08:14 PM -------------------- My bands homepage

GUITAR SHOPPING, AINT THAT A BITCH ? thanks-John Here is a good link that describes how to change strings, tune, etc. I don't have a FR, but it doesn't sound too difficult. I'm sure after a few times, it is not that bad if you understand why you are making certain adjustments. These explanations are very good. http://www.floydrose.com/originaltremolo.html |
