| __________________________________ [Dec 9,2004 10:58pm - powerkok ""] thats a platinum series. at least it dosent have those gay ass speedloaders on it like all the new nj's. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 9,2004 11:07pm - Aegathis ""] I'd say its pretty sharp lookin, and aint i too fond of the beast. |
| ________________________________________________ [Dec 9,2004 11:09pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] they have one of those in the Natick, Mass GC but it's red |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 9,2004 11:17pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] ugh, platinum series BC Rich's suck. i played a platinum warlock for years; i think i paid less for the guitar itself than all the work i had to have done on it. booooo! and yeah, those speedloaders are definitely stupid. |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 12:03am - powerkok ""] I was thinkin bout a neck thru beast, but no way I'm spendin 1500-2000 for one. I may get an Ibanez rgt42fm tho. |

I may get an Ibanez rgt42fm tho. the rgt42 is an excellent 'bang for your buck' guitar. just stick some good pickups in there and you got a real winner. one of the only decent production models ibanez makes in my opinion. |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 10:38am - largefreakatzero ""] I play an Ibanez RG series -- totally dig it. I have the stock pick-ups in it, but the Line 6 full-stack helps that out. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 10:42am - korpse ""] i'm looking for a new guitar myself. I've played gibson all my life but i've been digging how the jackson plays. i want to stick to an american made guitar but american jackson's are too expensive. anyone have any suggestions? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 10:43am - RustedAngel ""] korpse said: american jackson's are too expensive. anyone have any suggestions? so are gibsons. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 10:45am - blue nli ""] i have a japanese jackson (sl4), almost as nice as the american, except without the fretboard/headstock binding, and with a liscensed floyd instead of the real one. still has the duncans and the neck through. i got mine for 900, worth every penny. ive beat the crap out of mine for 2 and a half years and it stills plays as fantastic as the day i bought it. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 10:46am - korpse ""] eh, not really compared to jacksons, atleast i don't think. i had an sg special, 800.00 bucks. i don't think i could find an american made jackson for that much. I played a soloist slsmg the other day. thing plays great, not too crazy about the sound but still, that was even 800.00 bucks and it was jap. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 10:51am - RustedAngel ""] real gibsons are over $2,000 |
| __________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 10:52am - korpse ""] maybe i don't know what a real gibson is. can you tell me? |
| __________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 10:57am - korpse ""] i mean, i know my guitar did say made in america. and it did say gibson. on the head stock. epiphone's are the only fake gibson i know of. they're made in korea or japan or something like that. of course some gibson's can get pricey though. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:00am - RustedAngel ""] well, I mean you can buy cheap jacksons too, but I'd say the higher end jacksons are much cheaper than high end gibsons. look at a musicians friend, like 95% of the gibsons are like $2,000, 3,000, 4,000. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:02am - blue nli ""] gibsons are highly overrated in general. along with prs. why pay 3000 bucks for a guitar that youre only getting 1500 in quality? buy esp or jackson. the bang for your buck is mind boggling. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:07am - paganmegan ""] What is that, a king v? |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:08am - blue nli ""] darn tooting. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:10am - RustedAngel ""] for some reason I like the PC-1's... I'm getting old. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:11am - paganmegan ""] I have always wanted to add a king v to my collection but I bought one only a few months ago, so I'm gonna have to wait until tax return time |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:18am - RustedAngel ""] yeah blue, the finish on those is mind boggling...I really don't mind that it's bolt on...I think the next guitar I get will be bolt on, I want a nonpainted neck to play. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:25am - korpse ""] i played a used jackson (american) dk1 at guitar center the other day. I was blown away by the sound and how fast it was. but somebody beat the absolute shit out of it and they wanted 900 for it. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 12:01pm - paganmegan ""] When I was 14 my parents gave me my first electric guitar, and it was red and called the shredder... (HAHA) that thing sucked so badly, I learned all about soldering wires in guitars that year, the cheap piece of shit |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 12:01pm - Christraper ""] My iron bird is a bolt-on and i love the way it feels and sounds. ive had it for years so its a bit worn in which might have something to do with it. Plus i added a bunch of new hardware to it since its from the eighties. The neck is alot like a strat. I think the bolt on neck adds to the warm tone. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 12:02pm - Christraper ""] i used to have a terminator |
| __________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 1:30pm - powerkok ""] I wanna get an Ironbird too ! I love those fucking monstrosities. To the guy looking for a jackson or gibson...check out esp ltd mh 400 or 300 if u can find one....or the schecter 006 is nice too if you dont need a Floyd. |

I have the stock pick-ups in it, but the Line 6 full-stack helps that out. the one I want is just like yours....yours is a rgt42 black pearl I beleive...the one I want is exactly the same but flamed maple top.....and ya, Ill prolly throw in my first EMG 81. Ive tried to stay away from them because active pickups are a pain in the balls, but Ive heard one without and theyre very bright. too bright for me. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 1:34pm - powerkok ""] I will never buy another bolt on for more than 250 bucks tho. the esp spoiled me on that . |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 9:38pm - porphyria603 ""] i'm thinkin about gettin this,customshop,neck-thru.[IMG]http://c:/documents and settings/shawn/my documents/my pictures/warlock7.jpg[/IMG] |

| __________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 9:51pm - Aegathis ""] Paid no more than 3 hundred for my used Jaskson Jdr about 3 years ago, i still love it [img][img] |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:23pm - ArrowHead ""] Being a lefty, I rarely get to play any decent guitars. I've never played a jackson that wasn't a piece of shit. Never played a BC Rich that wasn't a piece of shit. Of course, what store is going to keep a $1000 lefty hanging around? I play a gibson which is the best guitar I've ever played. However, I've never seen anything comparable to it in a store in the 10 years since I bought it, so again Gibson is capable of making crap just like all the others. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 10,2004 11:25pm - ArrowHead ""] By the way, in regards to people saying Gibsons are overpriced: Years ago the company tried lowering prices to the $400 to $800 range. Their saled immediately dropped. After hiking the price back up to around $1400, the sales went up again. Sometimes price and perceived value dictate what we pay a lot more than corporate greed. |
