LTD's blood sucking affair

This is something. If you know the ESP philosophy then it's nothing... nothing new, that is :-) The ESP people had been slapping cool graphics on their instruments since they were around. According to the manufacturer, this is the first in the series of horror graphics LTD models, a collaboration with Lugosi Enterprise. Bela Lugosi of the horror flick fame, you know him? No?

John 5: God Told Me To

Beat it! So this Michael Jackson song was quite the spotlight in this release, it's an instrumental version, lots of guitars, my kinda of rendering. There are lots of guitars in the others numbers as well & it's J5's 'business as usual' serving for us guitar fans. I'm not trying to put Mr. Lowery down but his fast picking could have been smoother. There's something going on in my ears maybe because I hear the sloppy notes in the audio version but in the accompanying DVD, those bad notes were like... what bad notes? By the way, Mr. Lowery's dual humbucking Tele is quite the works :-)

Happening this Friday (now you know)

Self-explanatory. But the show goes on. See you there.

Would I put the flyer back up AFTER the show? Oh, please...

Edwards: Price truth

Yes, it's another shot of my Edwards E-MA-100SD/QM but this is the price tag which I've left in tact at the control cavity cover. 

So the MSRP for this guitar is Y105K, in SGD it would be $1,675.88 (as at today's exchange rate). Previously, Davis tagged the E-MA models for $1.3k which is a very fair price but the latest shipment saw a drop to $990...

I recently bought this guitar- do I need another guitar? No I don't but I saw a good bargain which I couldn't put away, I guess that's me- weak willed when it comes to a good guitars with an exceptional price tags. I saw a bargain more than anything else so it was a confirmed purchase.

Many of us walked into Davis GMC & then left empty handed after discovering there were no further discounts for any of the items there but we need to check if those prices are indeed fair or bordering on the ridiculous. I have to give them my thumbs-up for price considerations.

Ibanez RG2228A

I have plans to get Ibanez's RG2228A- I already own the RG2228 but it's the EMG version. Having a set of passives in there would be good for me (not an EMG fan but they sound good in the RG2228) but this white version is regional exclusive, it won't be available here off-the-shelf... PFFTTT...

Yamaha: RGXA2... lights

Yamaha's RGXA2 has an on-board light show as seen above. These are actually pickup indicator lights (from L-R):

• Blue: Bridge
• Red: Neck
• Both on

What would traditionally function as a tone control (that knob there with no light indicators) is the guitar's pickup selector switch & that's all it does so any tone manipulations from this guitar, it comes from the volume knob. So now let's think of another Yamaha guitar featuring this light display. Answer: No other model. The implication here is that it's purely aesthetics & it's not that appealing/ practical to be employed in other guitars, that's why it stays put in the RGXA2.
