Pavel,
Just came across this beauty: http://www.zzounds.com/item--IBARG2228. Curious to know what you think. Too much? Not enough? Can you (or anyone else for that mater) be a speed daemon on this thing? No tremolo, is that good/bad/indifferent. Boris BTW, I came across one of your posts (don't remember which), that said you are considering getting a Universe. I happen to be a proud owner of one of these babies, and I absolutely love it. I think you will too. I'm really looking forward to some seven string lessons (have been using it basically as a six string guitar). |

Well - i totally love the look of that guitar - and first i was thinking that will be my next guitar to buy. But than - it doesn't have a tremolo and that's why i don't think i am getting one for now! And also - it has Edge III bridge which totally sucks!! But i think i'll have huge doubts going on when i finally collect the money to get one of new guitars! One of the guys here in my city ordered that guitar so i will definitely try it out when he gets it!
And i am pretty much sure Universe will win in my "choice of the year" between 8-string and UV!

I played one of those S series that have that kind of tremolo, My friend owned one of those and he brought it to me for a setup - the string locking sucks - you haev to cut the ball off in order to place the string and once you tighten it it happened a few times to me that the string just jumped out of the saddle. Later that same guy sold that guitar and bought himself an RG 1527 7-string guitar! So that's the main problem in my opinion!
I am still interested in owning one of those axes - so when i get into the guitar store i will for sure try both 8-strings and 7-strings to see which one to buy!! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Pavel, that's not the case with the Edge Pro like the Prestiges have is it? My understanding is tha the Pros are a lot better ... does the Jem also have an Edge Pro? -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Unless your rusty cooley or Meshuggah, i dont think an 8 string is necessary, the universe would whip the 8 strings ass in playability, i just know it.

JEM's brigde is just soo light! Using whammy bar needs no effort - before i had RG 370 DX and using whammy was a nightmare and it was pretty hard to dive.
