Hey Ronnie Most of the time I do agree with you But the Explorers are REALLY comfortable and balanced...they just stay still when you stand and play, as opposed to say a Strat which is neck heavy most of the time. but yeah, both an Explorer and especially a Flying are a freaking nightmar eto play sitting down. Btw a question for whoever got the PRS made..did he carve the top exactly the way a real PRS is? Or was it a flat top?
C'mon man. Where did I spam in this thread. Actually Strat are pretty well balanced too. With a heavy neck, they have a heavy body too. Though the guitar is heavy still has a comfortable feel to it even whether you sit or stand while playing. Super Strats are probably the most comfortable.
@abhijit..I made that PRS..it is somewhat of a carved top..ofcourse, he couldnt carve a thin maple cap to put on it as I had wanted (I am so greedy!!...Tulasi's body work is pretty good.. Here is a pic..
Totally agree with u dude ... Guess when i picked up a Jumbo accoustic firts i found it uncomfortable !!!!!!! Anyway The Fly - V ' s r uncomfortable to SIT and play ... but when u stand its real cool ... And the Explorers are good even when u SIT BETTER THAN STRAT .. as u get better grip ...
ok, now comin to processors. which one do u recommend. like i cant afford the costly ones. i know that the cheapest one is around 5000 bucks(zoom-505). any other items which u recommend. around the same price. probably 1500 bucks more thats it. not more than that.
Korg AX1000G is very famous among here. A decent one. I think you should save some more for processor. Its better to buy a good thing rather than regreting afterwards for buying a cheap one which gives low quality. I have't used Zoom 505 but i haven't heard anything good about it from my friends.
^^ rp80 rocks!!...that too for that much price!....you cant compare it with the 200's and 300's of the same...but its almost the same thing....rp80 has xpression pedal like others....has got all features like other of the same xept for extra input jacks and recording ability! ....its all the same when it comes to effects....only difference is that you cant navigate through it so easily like rp200 or 300!:rockon: im planning to get the distortion factory 7 by december after cancelling plans of ax500...i checkd that out and it sucked big time and didnt match my needs...!.....DF 7 rocks anyday! i also love the grunge pedal!
Thanks man. I went to a guy in Mumbai called Albertos and I faced the same problem...they dont get solid quilt maple in India...only veneer....and you cant carve that! I toyed with the idea of getting the wood from Canada (my sister stays there) but that idea is still in limbo
What Tulasi said was that doing a carved maple top is difficult and the chance of it getting messed it up is high...if this Alberto's is confident that he can do a good job then get the wood..coz I guess quilted maple would be damn costly ...
Hey i asked this to Ron also ... suppose i go to the Tulsi dude and ask him to make an Explorer or Flying V shape - will he charge more than the usual 8.5K just because of the shape?
