  • Hey man thanks for posting this vid. Nice playing. I just ordered one of these in yellow. How is the fret work?

  • @MaxxxwellC - Nice clean fretwork. I am spoiled on this 16" fretboard radius. Nice and flat. Lowest action of anything I've ever played without fret buzz that wasn't a Jackson and costing twice as much. Enjoy the Yellow. I may have to get another one. As far as I can tell, only this and the BC RICH ASM have a 16" Fretboard radius in this price range.

  • @Ninjaro

    Very cool. I should have it in a few days. Can't wait.

  • @MaxxxwellC - You're going to love it man. I dunno why almost every guitar company is doing 12" radius necks accept Jackson and BC Rich with the Gunslinger and ASM giving up 16" radius. There is no other guitar in this price range with a 16" radius Maple fingerboard, brand new. This is the first guitar I've ever had that I didn't swap out the bridge pickup on it. Love it to death!!

  • @Ninjaro Radius necks? can u explain what u mean by 12" neck radius & 16" radius? Whats thinner? a 16" or a 12" ?

  • @97warlock - The radius refers to the radius of the fretboard or how flat it is. This means that a 16" fretboard radius is flatter than a 12" fretboard radius. The higher the number of the fretboard radius, the lower the action of the strings can be without fret buzz. So the fretboard radius or "neck radius" as it is often spoken of, doesn't refer to how thin the neck is but how flat the fretboard is. I favor a big C shaped neck, which is what this is, versus Ibanez necks, which are thinner.

  • @darkphoenix2k61 - Thanks. I got the green one last August because it was available first. Trying to decide if I want a Yellow one next or the Masterpiece Mockingbird.

  • man you can play,i got the yellow one

  • @westonbyrne - I don't personally know anyone who's ever been able to make a stock strat trem stay in tune. I have a Strat too but had to put a Floyd Rose on it to keep it in tune. There is a video of me testing Seymour Duncan Hot rails on it here.

  • @Ninjaro wow, cool. i will definitely check it out. i am wanting a new, 'affordable' guitar, fast lol. then i can save up for something more expensive. i just need something that will intonate lol. my squier strat is horrid. and as i said before, i hate strat trems :P
