Same here.
A bunch of Duncans: '59n and JB (that came from my ESP Horizon), TB-5 Custom and 3 Dimarzio's: original 70's double cream Super Distortion (Dual Sound actually), a double cream Norton and a black DP103 36th Anniv neck.
That Super D is waiting for whenever I'll find some Japanese...
Was the original 2x volume and 1x tone?
My 2010 Horizon NT-II just has the one volume and tone like the LTD '87 Custom has.
Attached: ebony and ivory together (back when 'ivory' still had 3 Duncans instead of 1 ).
Side note: Kramer seriously effed up the jack placement. Way too high up the body.
No, a $1000 RI that I got used for $450 though. Now THAT was a solid price for a neck thru, 3x Duncan, FR1000 equipped guitar.
Turned out someone at Gibson/Kramer was sleeping at the factory, cuz they loaded two Duncan Hot Rail BRIDGE pickups (16.6k DC) in the middle and neck positions! They...
Nah don't sweat it. I had to look a few times at pics to spot the difference. :censored: :ROFLMAO:
Needless to say, for myself it doesn't matter that much. When it comes to Kramer necks/headstocks, *that's* when I'm picky. Big fan of the original beak, although my SM-1 funnily enough closely...
The LTD Custom '87 Horizon has a reversed headstock, but that price... Oof.

I'd most likely get rid of that Hot Rail though...I prefer more bell-like, single-coil-on-steroids sounds for that. Andy LaRoque apparently agrees with me. ...
in Europe it is yeah.
There are still deals to be found, but they're rare. I bought a Super Distortion for €40 last year...That was a bonafide steal.
And I sold my two Duncan Hot Rails for €50 each, and those sold reasonably fast, since I wasn't price gauging. But there are guys asking €120-150...
It's not just the companies thinking they're sitting on gold.
Same on the used market for pickups.
I could buy Duncans and DiMarzios used all day long for €50-60, save some more upscale models.
Now, most of the folks selling them, are asking €90-100... I dunno about you, but my salary hasn't...
Yep agreed. I was looking at the LTD '87 Custom Horizon too, to get my H-S axe added... but $1500 USD (and most European stores have it for €1600-1700), I guess I'm old enough when cheap Samicks were a thing, to be paying $1500 for a Korean made guitar feels wrong. $1000, fine. $1200? you guys...
I agree with that, when it comes to the amps! The BE-OD Deluxe pedal however can go from polished to pretty gnarly, since you have a full EQ + presence and tight controls per channel. Also, by bringing down the internal gain trimpots, it covers so much ground! Having owned the Bogner XTC red and...
Yup, that thing looks like it would be shaving itself in a chopper and muttering "I'm gonna have me some fun" over and over....back in '87 too! :whistle:
Congrats @vultures ! I'm looking to add an H-S super strat like this to my stable as well. Already settled that the neck pickup is gonna be a...
If I recall correctly, the Yamaha APX series sounded better than CPX series, that is, their semi acoustic lines.
@Beyond Black are you looking for full acoustic or a semi (with piezo and/or internal mic maybe)?
I'll second the point that on the used market, Yamaha usually is a good deal, since...
Good point @MadAsAHatter.
One thing that perhaps wasn't clear from my point, this is also an and/and thing for me, meaning it's perfectly possible to accept that climate change is a thing, while also not falling for some pushed agenda from governments that want to influence your personal life...
What source is this from? Just curious.
I don't mind discussions with actual sensible nuanced adults, but these "you can't believe in climate change if you ever flew a plane or drive a car" moronic arguments without any sources whatsoever that would support THEIR arguments, no sirrey. I don't...
1) I don't owe you shit
2) already told you. If only you did the same.
So you can just dismiss anything because you don't feel like believing science, but I should defend myself against such low blows? Fuck off man.
Of course you're not. Because, why would you, right? It doesn't fit your narrative. o_O
I still don't see any credible links/sources from you, supporting your 'not being convinced' by the way...
OMFG. So everyone who does believe the scientists' concensus about climate change should never board...
Are you looking for nylon stringed (Spanish/cassical) acoustics or steel-stringed (Western) ones?
For steel string, I'd look at Martin, Taylor, Takamine, LAG maybe.
I see that you didn't check my links.
Your stubbornness and lack of sources aren't debate enhancers either by the way. :cheers:
Like I said, I trust Nasa a 'liiiiiittle' bit more than someone on a guitar forum claiming climate change isn't real and can't be proven. :censored:
If 800.000 years...
I wouldn't call "No it ain't true, but I have no evidence to back up my opinion/stance/feelings on this" a sign of intelligence. ?
FWIW I'm not saying 'let's accept everything at face value because the authorities said so' either, but to fully dismiss something this way...nah, that ain't...
Fine dude, if actual scientists who studied for this shit, did tests, present evidence etc. cannot convince you, you're obviously smarter than all them folks at Nasa. :LOL:
But your use of "" suggests that you're more on the religious side of things...Earth being only 5000 years old and...
