[RS1976]

as of yesterday evening I own a V. Jackson. what a machine.

 

I've never been hip to EMGs, nor a Floyd Rose system. OK actually this is a "Floyd Rose Special" but after the advice of some mondo cool forum members, and YT Tutorials, I've set her up, intonation, and she plays quite beautifully. It was not as hard to get her up & running as I had anticipated. It was actually quite enjoyable to learn how to get the guitar ready.

 

Its for a new project. Needed a guitar with clean, yet high output pups. and EMGs are clear considering how much they scream when played through overdrive.

 

Was a m.f. Condition 1. Scored it with an additional 10% off. surprisingly since it was a used item usually they don't go lower, but they chose to in this case. OTD and to my doorstep for 578. When it arrived packaging was cool and guitar was in good shape, but there was some adhesive on the guitar and looked like someone had put maybe stickers on it, but didn't remove the residue. i called to mention it to them and they offered to send me a new one, or a $50 credit for any additional gack. I choose cleaner kit & nine sets of ernie ball .09s

 

shoulda held out and demanded an ATA case. ah well.

 

anyhow, this is a great guitar. Again I've never owned a jackson, unfamilar with EMGs, but so far roll back the tone and toss on some delay and we're there. I don't do dive bombs, but I do like the ability to use a trem when needed w/out fear of tuning issues. which btw, I hear there are upgrades for trem systems. for instance better materials, screws etc. I can only imagine what a 2K RR Custom would be like. As this guitar with a little TLC is like butter.

Congrats, very cool guitar!

 

The EMGs are active I guess, aren't they? What RR model is this particular one if I may ask?

Hey Cap.

 

Its a RRXMG. made in indonesia w/the FR bridge made in S. Korea. 24 frets. After its setup we have great action & intonation. Looking forward to posting clips of the project in time.

 

Its a dog to sit down & play however. Wonder if those steinberger blades work on it?

Thank you. Couldn't find her searching by colour since the white model with black stripes seems unavailable now. The EMGs should be 81 and 85 which are the most common active ones I think. She should have a basswood body like my Ibanez Roadstar II guitar and Blazer bass - a very nice tonewood, great for fat tone and sustain.

 

Glad that action and intonation are fine.

 

V shaped instruments are inconvenient when sitting down and wanting to play them without a strap. Perhaps the Steinberger leg rest is indeed a good idea. The Epiphone Zakk Wylde Graveyard Disciple model came with it, too.
