Long story but edwards is esp. just the company name esp can’t operate in Japan for some reason, some trade agreement so they changed the name to edwards. But it’s still esp =]
I did this to a Squire strat, kinda wanted to see if I was capable of modding a guitar. I just dropped a Seymour JB and installed a Clapton like boost on a push/pull knob. I loved this combination man. Depends on what kind of music you do, but if you rock a lot of distortion, might be something to consider.
And ok fuck it, frets are um don't remember and its got a pick up with 3 scalloped frets, dammit it gots stuff that gets me the attack and such. Its got a bottle opener for a truss cover and....What was the question again?
Good question. Crap now I want to know. Maybe from a song off RRF (possibly like near the end, last minute, of Was it Worth It? Relentless Reckless Forever, or maybe Shovel Knockout. Or slowed down version of mid part/riff in Cry of the Nihilist). Or Blooddrunk(the song). TotalGuitar should know (& answer) that.
am a lefty, and kept trying online to buy an V50 (for quartertone fretboard - arabic microtonal - modification), but kept getting jerked around by vendors who didn't really have anything in stock. I ended up actually finding an Alexi-200 lefty, and it's shipping to the luthier for mods right now. i do like the simplicity of them.
@@infinidominion Yes. Alexi Laiho lefty V black. Quartertone fretted. $400 for the guitar, and $300 for the mod. About 4 months, done by Ron Sword. When trying to get the V guitar, twice the seller said they had it; and jerked me around for weeks until they admitted that it didn't exist. A lot of sellers make up bullshit stock numbers. When I bought the first one, it went fro 10, to 9, and back up to 10 in minutes; like a bot did it. They just pretend like they have everything and scramble to fill the order when somebody buys it.
what year, is there a video of it? I got the ltd alexi 600 blacky and I cant feel the spirit of the "signiture guitar" thing 'cause ive never seen him play that, thats why im so eager to find one.. :) thanks!! \m/
couldn't find videos dude I'm sorry but if it's any consolation heres a picture of him playing it live www.google.co.uk/search?q=alexi+laiho+playing+blacky&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=py4OU_iOMYqy0QXSqIG4BQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=618#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=8jReFj7G0chCLM%253A%3BDHsyAZyDtPoXAM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fupload.wikimedia.org%252Fwikipedia%252Fcommons%252Fthumb%252F4%252F44%252FAlexi_Laiho_-_Ilosaarirock_2009.jpg%252F220px-Alexi_Laiho_-_Ilosaarirock_2009.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fen.wikipedia.org%252Fwiki%252FAlexi_Laiho%3B220%3B331

Jackson guitars are the best company of guitars that ever made, every single Jackson guitar that has made the market has successfully sold a million, those are the only guitars designed for metal. I have one, I named it death. This year imma get another Jackson guitar for my birthday.
its cool you like jackson im more of an esp guy. both companies whether its custom shop or the high end imports make damn fine well playing instrument. its all preference. i used to play only ibanez guitars for ten years till i started noticing lots of bands i listen to using esp and ltd guitars. so i checked them out and been blown away at how well built the guitars are.
I personally think Jackson were better in the 80's. Now you have to pay at least 2 grand to get that same quality. I prefer Ibanez myself. And I'm pretty sure Deans are pretty much exclusively designed for metal.
@aluminumfetish Yeah, you tend to have a runny nose when you have a cold. 🤷♂️ I'm not some anti-drug kind of person, but sometimes people act like they WANT people to be on drugs just so they can point it out like it's some kind of new phenomenon. 🤦♂️
Yeah I agree with that about Music Man being some of the best guitars. Clean and distortion they rip if I'm not mistaken I believe John Petrucci plays a Music Man so that speaks volumes to how good and playable Music Man guitars are.. \…/\m/
Oh my god! Forget the guitar - WHO does this guys nails!??! sniff... sniff... that reminds me... my family once new a guy that went to jail for sniffing ladies undies, we had to look after his greyhound while he was in jail. The greyhound ate my pet rabbit and I remember being pretty annoyed about the whole situation. No idea what that has to do with this guy but sniff... sniff... might have something to do with it.
He could use any pickup he wants but he chooses an EMG HZ. I'm not a huge EMG fan but why the fuck would he use the cheap ass version of an 80. HZ's are used in low to mid range guitars because they are cheap and sound like shit. No wonder his tone completely sucks, I mean he's a good guitar player but he has an atrocious tone. I'm not knocking the guy, I like some of his albums but I just don't understand why he uses such a terrible pickup. If your gonna pay the kind of money his signature guitar is you expect a high quality pickup. For that money you should not have to replace a single thing on the instrument. I'm sure he likes the sound but if that's true I think his ear is suspect. Nevertheless, I respect the guy, he's made a few quality records.
WrathWithinMe He's had a signature pickup since at least 2009 because EMG has a video from 2009 with Alexi performing. In this video they're advertising his pickup.
I agree with you for the most part I personally love EMGs that are active, which they are made really for heavy metal. The EMG HZ pickups have less of a high gain distortion but more clean clarity. But over all with the proper settings passive EMGS are still cool as hell and sound killer under the proper settings..
WTF?! Where are you?.. Why does it look like somewhere I used to sleep after all day taking college courses and before my Government job until I got home only to sleep again and same cycle?
