[leviathon18]

[PSNgregiskool]

Can you do dimebag squeels?

[jasonism123]

[sonico73]

I own the 1000 is a best!

[Tooks77]

wat guage strings r u using?

[jayou812a]

Why would they make a guitar like that and then put crappy pickups in in they should have used dimarzio's

[cjmrcjmr]

riiiiight....................

[superagnitio]

Great review, thanks. Helped me a lot

[alkali2010]

Dude - H.K.Lee inspected my 1998 Fender American Strat! :D

[adrianotbm]

And my 2007 Ibanez JS 100 . So, the guy is a Legend!

[tm995]

is there any problem if i tune my js100 to drop d?

because a guy on a local guitar store told me i shouldnt.

please answer!!

[MoneyPieBoy]

the thing is, the whammy is floating. so changing to drop d would wack the balance on the bridge, causing the whammy to be unbalanced, making the guitar completely out of tune. only with a heavier e string, will it balance. You have to pick a tuning on a floyd rose, and stick with it.

[fblitk]

That's why I hate guitars with tremolos.. they also don't have good sustain

[FreedomOrNothin]

@MoneyPieBoy Not on mine...

[limelight316]

just got one on ebay for $356. did i do good? sorry for sounding stupid but i really dont know.

[brenoobr]

hell yeah

[g1taro]

yea dude!! they go for 700-800 bucks new and almost the same used

[randallfordtxk]

and secondly he plays fast cause hes just plane bad ass!!!!

[n00bHunter07]

what's better, Ibanez JS100 or BC Rich Mockingbird ST?

[guitarkingalfie]

i would say JS100 is far better for me but play both first. THIS IS ESSENTIAL. Many people buy a BC Rich for its looks but then find they feel terrible compared to an ibanez neck.

:)

[n00bHunter07]

i don't (only) buy it for its looks xD

it has good soundpickups and many options, but yes i will play both and some other guitars when i buy one.

[HomasterX]

JS100 hands down, mocking bird is not comfortable at all and the neck is thicker, ibanez wizard 2 necks are the fastest neck in the world

[lilletizz]

Roland cube 30x is awesome! Dont call it crap!!

[Jaaasonxlee]

thanks for these reviews

Now im definitely buying the $150 JS100 deal i got :D

[lilletizz]

You got it for 150 Dollars??

[iJACKiiEE]

this coming sunday i will.

its brand new too

[lilletizz]

I've bought a 2003 used modell for 800 Us Dollars. :P

I live in Norway tho.. Expensive shit country. XD

[Jaaasonxlee]

Well, you got one xP

[lilletizz]

And its AWESOME! :P

Tuning it to Db right now. XD

[rokku87]

thanks for the review man...I've bee looking for a new fast guitar and the ultra low action ...to me... is like waving a twinky in front of a fat kid...im sold

[Uskok222]

5:23 rofl...

[Uskok222]

Great video man , it helps allot.

thanks

btw. guitar is great, i must get one :-P

[owad666]

Have this model since month but made in Indonesia (not Korea). Polish prize 4000 PLN and heard that abroad is much cheaper :(.

Pls check my account on YouTube, made short clip with this kit.

Thx 4 cool presentation bud ! :). Regards.

[obiwan177]

This guy is a dick. All good guitars have low action if they're setup good. And he said he didn't retune in six months. His strings must be total crap.

[MusicReligion]

The adjustments this moron suggests DO NOT make unless you know what you are doing. If you choose to make the adjustments to "adjust the tension and the um bridge" and don't do it right you will have to take your guitar to a repair shop and will probably pay out the ass to get it setup right.

[blackfireINSANITY]

....setting up a bridge isn't that hard, unless you're trying to do it while fucking your own mother. adjusting the action/intonation/neck relief is not too hard if you follow the instructions. don't assume everyone's a moron. a guitar setup is also not a lot of cash at a shop.

[narutiiii]

Nice review. I might get one, I like the idea of push/pull pots, but would I have to do anything special when I change the pick ups?

[CTravaglini]

best thing to do would be to take the covers off and draw a diagram of where the wires go. chop the wires about half way between the old pickups and the plate. then solder the wires of the new pickups to the joints on the diagram.

[BostonRocker51]

get a better bridge when you switch out the pups. that bridge is a bitch - you can only change one string at a time or they're ALL thrown off, and you can't even change string gauge without it going out of tune... word to the wisw...

[MusicReligion]

You need to make sure you're using a 4 conducter humbucker. But the bridge needs one more spring thrown in the back.

[aoirakurai]

Ibanez JS-1000 is better

[VvLOGiKvV]

It costs double

[ethicalkidnap]

The JS series necks are actually thicker than the RG and S series necks. (The Wizard's and Wizards II's). The JS necks are 20mm at the 1st fret, whereas the Wizard and Wizard IIs are 18mm and 19mm respectively. It may only be 1 or 2 millimetres but it makes quite the difference. I still love the JS series though ;D Nice review

[JohnMayer07]

thinner neck =/= better neck. Or even faster.

I'm using a strat right now with a beefy C profile neck and I can still get from 1 to 21 fairly speedily. I have big hands though.

[hiltoverkof]

if you use the coil tap with the switch in the middle position its an amazing clean tone i absolutely love this guitar
