Dave. Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 You forgot Matt's Manson I ones I showed are ones that could possibly be mass-produced. Matt's are far to complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 7 string sales are about to go mad in k&t I really wouldn't be surprised! I timed mine pretty well! I would think about buying one but they're all metal styled. I don't like metal styled guitars. Mine's metal covered if that counts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really anything fancy going on....except another string Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Not the seven string? Not really anything fancy going on....except another string Possibly but the others are made by companies that can mass-produce guitars. Mansons put out barely anything compared to them likes of Fender and Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 doesn't the 7 string have a preamp of some sort? also having tried it out for a while, it doesn't sound bad at all. a bit fizzy when distorted, but maybe i can fix that with new caps n shit. a bit expensive at $300 though...and unfortunately i don't have the hair to sound like brian may...

Neil. Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 nah was just being hipster. So far it's very impressive. I need to sit down later after work and go through things like my midi mappings etc, but so far, I'm very impressed. I'm going to pick up a little 20 euro wireless keyboard in work too, just for convenience. Had a go of the Kaoss Quad while i was in the shop. They're not that bad really. I could see myself considering one in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianeye Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Meet my children: From Left to right: Fender Jaguar (2002 Japan) Bought for a steal, nothing to add to it, likely to sell to fund a scratch build tele Mods: -Mustang Bridge -Chrome knobs -Schaller Strap locks Fender Telecaster (Blacktop) Lovely lovely neck, Crap hardware from factory. Will be adding a graphtech nut and saddles and will be switching the control plate back the right way (Really annoying, there is a small notch at the bottom of the cavity preventing me from doing this) Mods: - Gotoh tuners 510's - Graphtech string tree - Gotoh Bridge w/ roller saddles - Black knobs - Pearloid Scratchplate Squier Telecaster (Custom) First ever guitar, love it to bits. It's been customised so many times hardly anything original remains. The Irongear pickups are fucking FANTASTIC. Would recommend for any modders unless the guitar is worth over 500 quid. Will be refinished properly Mods: - Black machine heads - Graphtech string tree - Iron Gear Pickups, Alchemist P90 Neck, Hot Slag Bridge - Chrome knobs - Schaller strap locks - Complete rewire using CTS pots, Straight silver switch, New Caps, the works - Silver carbon fibre top finish Epiphone Dot (Studio LE) Was going to mod this to fuck. Absolutely no need Mods: - Schaller strap locks - Chrome knobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don'tPostThePear Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Meet my children: dat jag looks cool, are they actually good sounding guitars? i have never heard one irl btw what about the IronGear PUs? I have two of their humbuckers (RollingMill, DirtyTorque) and i am thinking about getting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianeye Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 dat jag looks cool, are they actually good sounding guitars? i have never heard one irl btw what about the IronGear PUs? I have two of their humbuckers (RollingMill, DirtyTorque) and i am thinking about getting more. The jag is lovely, but to sum up, High maintenance. The bridge problem is well known. What i've found though is that with the shorter scale you can use heavier strings, and the heavier strings the better the stability of the bridge. Also, It ain't a heavy metal guitar and it never will be. As long as it's used for the right reasons they are a lovely lovely instrument and the clean sounds and slightly dirty sounds you can get are many and good. As for the Iron Gear pups I really can't stress enough how good they are. Not just for the price either. They are perfect for modding a less expensive guitar, think Squier, Epiphone, Mexican Fender. I'd love to hear the comparison between a Nailbomb and the Hot slag on through the same set up just to see if you can hear the difference in price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Meet my children: Nice What about replacing the bridge with a tune o matic? I'm guessing it's not exactly an easy modification, but it looks like it can be done been tempted by one of those, but I've never got along with short scale too well for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianeye Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 The tune o matic is an option, but the radius is different compared to the jag fretboard. I've replaced mine with a mustang bridge which is infinitely better than stock. I've found that with the thicker strings make it pretty much spot on.

zooropa1310 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The Elvis Costello jazzmaster has the tuneomatic, works real well (and looks sexy). You can always radius a tuneomatic bridge, most are set roughly at 12", but you can get it to a 9.5". You'll rarely want a 7.25" at the bridge, quite uncomfortable for any bending.
