Ibanez XPT700 Xiphos screw-around...5-22-09

Screwing around with my Xiphos, with 4 strings...haha. (long story) Tuned down to C, using a Boss PS-5 Pitch Shifter set to "Pitch Shifter" at a 4th Interval up (Or 5 semitones) at certain times.

i love this guitar, i just don't like the upside down head. to me they all just look dumb

[ZaKaTaKofSteel]

The headstock is actually the least of my problems with this beast....I've been having absolutely crap-luck trying to re-string it in the past, almost to the point that I'm scared to touch it!

Pffffftttt....XD. Naw, I've just been lazy. Hahaha.

[metallica123ize]

@ZaKaTaKofSteel You should go into a shop and have them restring it for you and while they do it ask if you can watch how it's done. It's not the easiest of tasks to restring a edge III or floyd rose trem. Then you won't be afraid to touch it no more. I promise.

@juneausucks You just described all the problems I've been having with mine. I absolutely love this guitar and it's all I wanted for awhile. But I'm a skinny guy so I'm having a major problem the how "top-heavy" it is.

[punkdude1994]

@juneausucks the most important thing is that the sound isnt treblish and thin , i like a more heavy sounding guitar :P

[juneausucks]

@punkdude1994 lol no prob man. it feels so fuckin metal when you play it first time. the heel is nice and thin by the way. word to the wize- dont leave it in any humid condition EVER even in the hard case. i left mine in case in my dry dehumidified basement for about a week and ALL the chrome finish was destroyed. go with black hardware if at all possible. dont let the hot looks suck you in though play it for a while and strap up befor u decide cuz the neck slopes down as you play standing.

@juneausucks looool love your comment :P specially the dive bomb part hahaha :P thanks for replying am thinking real hard on getting this guitar when i save up some cash

[juneausucks]

@punkdude1994 man i never had emg pickups or anything top of the line. but i really do like the d activators they are GREAT for metal. no they arent to high tone either. they provide enough high end for the rythum riffage and enough low tone for fast lead. just the xiphos is kinda high maintinence for me. i wouldnt buy the double locking if i could go back in time. i would get the cheaper ibanez with the same pickups. but dont get me wrong the divebombs are alot of fun. "EEEEEEEeeerrrrrrrrrrrr"

[punkdude1994]

@juneausucks did you find the Xiphos's D Activators too treblish ? are they good for death metal ?

[ChadBurk4420]

How much did that cost?

[ACDCHXC]

i bet he gets that alot hahaha
