Dbz Imperial Riff idea

Just a new couple of Riffs I made on My brand new DBZ Imperial guitar. The mic is a camera so it's not that great...

I've seen this guitar referenced as a semi on a couple of websites. Is that correct?

Nice chops, by the way...

@HorridFroth Thanks for the encouragement. The imperial has always been a solidbody. It can fit in a ES335 case, but the sustain it gets is from resonating a very thin body. It's really cool if you haven't seen one in person!

@musicgoon - I'm on the verge of buying one, but they're pretty rare in the UK at the moment. How about a vid demonstrating the clean tones?  :o)

@HorridFroth I'm just getting over trigger finger surgery, but I'll post a clean tone demo as soon as possible....

i might be buying one of these soon, have you drop tuned it low or just drop d?

[musicgoon]

@cerebrix I'll i've honestly tried is Drop D with the guitar. I imagine that the guitar would do good detuned. You might have to file the nut on the top so that a larger gauge of strings would rest properly.

@HorridFroth - best wishes for a speedy recovery, man. A clean tone demo would really help me out - I'm looking at either getting an Ibanez 335 clone, or one of these (I'm told they do very convincing semi-hollow tones), but supply issues to the UK mean I can't try one out yet...

Look forward to seeing the vid!

Yeah! It is great for sweep picking or tapping. The action is set very low on mine without fret buzz or rubbing. The contour of the neck reminds me of a guitar for shredding, very fast.

Hows the action on it? Is it sweepable?

I'm playing through a 1x12 Celestion Spider Valve. Nothing else but guitar amp and cable. It's a great amp!!!
