Jackson guitars makes 99% of guitars with a neck-thru construction and charges more for anything different than that (bolt-on or set-in) even if the neck-thru construction is, usually, the most expensive one; that's 'cause their build flow is optimized for the neck-thru construction and...

Best... quote... ever  :toothy12:

That's a beautiful guitar :) I'll soon swap the push/pull pot on my Warmoth strat for a regular one and put a mini-toggle to do the coil-split. Push-pull pots looks and feel cheap and are not so handy to use; maybe in a context where you've not room enough in your control routing and need some...

Yes, it depends by the effect/unit. Some effects are designed to be used in front of the amp or in both ways (phase 90is one of those if I remember correctly). I prefer to have fx in the loop but sometimes I like the specific sound that you can achieve putting a phase or a chorus in front of the...

That's a real beauty. How angled is the pocket (compared to a Gibby)? Is the tom recessed?

Done, hope it helps. Best of luck.

Those pedals look sweet! I've headed myself in the pedal building (in a very hobbistic way) in the last month or so. I've build an SHO clone, a Clark Gainister clone and a BB preamp clone; I've followed madbeanpedals.com for the schematics and moved from there. Mine are still at a very raw...

Could it be a loose pocket neck?

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a Strat body, H/H rear rout and 6-screws vintage tremolo rout; mahogany or alder alone or with maple (or any good looking) top; better if controls need to be drilled (I use 2 pots and one toggle switch); preferred clear finish or still to finish. I'm from Italy so an...

No, the sound's full and... well, normal, surely has twice the volume and bite of the average Ibanez  :icon_biggrin:

Gaphtech tusq nut and tree, steel saddles (stock on the Gotoh bridge). What do you mean for different tonality? If you mean what I think then: yes, this guitar is pretty bright having a maple neck and an ash body while my other guitars are pretty darker and deep being, mostly, all mahogany...

Haha, yeah, I remember having some fun with one of those on a friend's guitar  :toothy12:

I find very interesting the difference between Vintage Modern and Pro construction you pointed out, I din't read such dinstinction elsewhere.

Thanks for the the more technical explanation, really clear; about the last part I've to disagree: my ESP's are crazy loud and resonant unplugged and, when plugged, have a full, huge tone and volume and sustain for days, on the other ahnd I've tried several (hi-end) guitars that have 0 tone and...

Yup, that's what I said  :icon_thumright:
