Especially the whole "I'm not fuckin' around, man".
What, you gonna assault someone on camera? :jerkit:
I just finished watching the 2 seasons of Outlast in Alaska on Netflix; season 1 has the two crazy b*****s that are stealing shit and the only reason they got away with it, because the...
Call me a sceptic, but it seems like you're trying to undercut a valid point with some unrelated comment about their age...fact of the matter remains that these guys are universally known as 'shredders' *and* can shred with neck pickups AND yield some (really) good tones with it too.
And I...
Wow, so...uh...she thought it was classy or at least suitable to wear visible white lingerie to a presidential inauguration? :censored:
Women often make fun of guys showing off Porsche/Lambo/Ferrari car keys...This is no different. "I paid a shit-ton for these, so everyone better take notice!"...
Ask Andy LaRocque, Yngwie, Warren DeMartini, John Norum e.a. :rolleyes:
I for one need them. When they're humbuckers, I want to be able to split them too.
But most likely, my next shred axe will be an H-S config, where I'm currently leaning towards a Duncan Custom Stacked Plus in the neck...
@jabps @Nashville Riff Co I found a pic of a GrassRoots (basically ESP's sub-LTD brand, mostly for Asian market) Horizon that I sold ages ago.
It has the 3 knob config *and* the Jackson-style headstock! :eek:
Disclaimer: this picture was from some German auction, but I had the exact same guitar...
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...
