NGD! Fresh off the plane

[Riggins1966]

New old used Japanese guitar day! My coworker s̶m̶u̶g̶g̶l̶e̶d̶ brought this over from Japan today. Ever since they put that stupid CITES/no rosewood shipping outside of Japan law, it makes it a bitch if you are a fan of Japanese made guitars... so I'm pretty stoked, this thing is a 1998 Orville (fuji-gen made) and feels and plays amazing. Gonna try some new pickups... thinking of putting some Fluence/Fishman's in... after watching a few of Gsxrbusa's videos I have to try a set

oh fuck yeah! HNGD brutha!!

Congrats brother! That looks killer!!

I tried the Painkillers and didn’t dig them. Too dark for the guitar they were in plus other things. To each their own though.

The painkillers weren't my cup of tea either, but I remember them being on the bright side with lots of upper mid crunch, but smooth highs

So instead of sleeping early/getting rest to prepare for tomorrow night's Municipal Waste show (their first time in Hawaii) I stayed up and did a test recording of the stock pickups of the Orville... not bad.

How does it sound to you guys?

Classic 80s thrash is what I hear and of course I like that, but I understand why you want to go with something more modern.

Love the clean white. Congrats!!!

Thanks dude, diggin this guitar

Sounds pretty good actually. You mentioned Fishman earlier. I'll throw in a recommendation
for the Classics. I truly wish they made the Classics in 7 and 8 string versions as the 6 stringers are pretty outstanding to my ears.

BTW, great video accompaniment.

Thanks dude! GLad you liked the vid I'm gonna dive into pickup research soon, it has been awhile.

I had the painkillers in an esp horizon and they were mean as fuck. I'll get another one day for one of my fiddles. Hate to muddy the pot, but still want to try a ceramic nailbomb for metal as well.

Cool guitar by the way!

I have a guitar with alpha/omegas in it and to me they sound sort of similar to the nailbomb last I checked... but gonna look into this, thanks!

Man I had a Painkiller set in my old V and they were great. The Ceramic War Pig/Miracle Man set I had in my Pras CE24 was BRUTAL!

I have a set of Warpigs in a Jackson and can confirm its BRUTALITY!

oh fuck yeah! HNGD brutha!!

THanks man!

I'm gonna youtube the hell out next week and try to pick something. Def gonna watch a few of your vids again. Hey did you happen to make any vids with the painkillers installed?

The painkillers weren't my cup of tea either, but I remember them being on the bright side with lots of upper mid crunch, but smooth highs

Come to think of it the vids I watched did seem a bit bright, any suggestions for thick and meaty but not scooped with a bit of upper mids? I'm probably asking for too much lol.

Classic 80s thrash is what I hear and of course I like that, but I understand why you want to go with something more modern.

Hehe i'm def stuck in 1988 to 1989 lol... i'm ok with modern as long as it sounds thick and juicy

Badass!!! Hey, why don't you leave that guitar at Easy Music, Dan's Guitars, Hot Licks, Island Guitars, or some other store I used to frequent in Hawaii and I'll fly over and pick it up?

That is nice. I think I need to get an Orville or Edwards guitar sometime. I remember years ago when I was living on the island, I'd hear about those being easier to get than the Mainland. Great score dude!

Great clip and video! Had me smiling the whole time! Riffage and tone is very Exodus like.
