  1. That's a good question. They will have similar sustain (sustain in a guitar is generally directly proportional to weight, which is why a guitar made of all metal will sustain far longer than wood, but this is acoustically undesireable), as a maple guitar (which is very rare btw) and mahogany are both dense, heavy woods, although maple is a bit heavier when sold. I personally am of the belief there is almost no difference in "tone" over well constructed woods of any type; the only real difference is sustain. The differences in tone are usually a difference in the type of wood and pickups used; for example, maple is used significantly more on 25.5" Fender guitars with single coils; which would be bright regardless of wood, and mahogany is primarily used on 24 3/4" Les Paul types.
  2. There is no "limit" on what you can put on a Floyd, assuming you really want to deal with adjusting it.
  3. Originally posted by joeyinflames Ok, here is the rundown. I offered a trade to this guy from ebay a couple weeks back. The trade was his Ibanez JEM 7VWH for my Gibson SG AND my Schecter C-1. The trade was agreed, and pictures were exchanged. I later noticed that he sent me pictures of a different ebay auction of the same guitar - complained to him, then he sent me "real" ones later. I told him for his mistake that I would wait to recieve the guitar and be satisfied with it before I send my guitars. He never responded, only gave me the tracking number under UPS. I recieved the guitar today. And to my suprise it is a KOREAN MADE JEM LOOK-ALIKE. Ibanez branded tuners and tremolo, made in korean factory in 2002 (the picture he sent said j craft on the neck and made in 2006,) not mint (the knobs are ready to break off and the tremolo locks at the headstock are very cheap looking, not the jem prestige neck (looks to be a cheap neck, terrible fret work, and no scalloping at the top frets,) and no dimarzio evolution pickups - they seem to be some random off brand (silver studs, not gold, and no dimarzio logo.) I complained to him by email today and threatened to report him to the NIFW (national internet fraud watch.) I also am debating on whether I should even send the guitar back for his terrible misconception - he could have basically stolen 2 of my guitars, worth together well over the amount of the fake he sent. If he doesn't respond in a week, I am keeping the guitar. Thoughts as to what I should do? Any suggestions would help. Thanks, Joe Sell it on ebay Tell him he's welcome to buy it
  4. Eh, better as a "On the Road" type of book lol
  5. Why does everyone assume Terry's lying? When has he lied or made up a bunch of crap in his last 15,000 (he has like 8000 more) posts? He's never seemed anything but honest to me. Why would he make it up? To gain "cool" points on the internet? Despite the fact that he has a website and band and identified himself personally? Tell the rest of the story, it's a lot more interesting than my life
