  1. My 50's Classic Vibe. A lot of bang for the buck.
  2. . I kinda prefer more classic SS though Like this one Bolt on guitars gives you the option to shim the neck so that you can achieve a perfect angle between your body and the locking tremolo,this is very important. This is why most wanky bar equipped guitars features bolt on necks. Of course there are many neck through shredders too like Jackson Soloists,StageMasters etc etc but the option to shim the neck isnt available on them as you can easily understand,this is why i dont really like them. Speaking of which, check out what (ESP) Edwards is now offering. It just needs some black and white pin striping. The Jackson headstock returns to ESP!!! Fender (or Charvel) who?
  3. Forgive my noobishness, but what exactly is a compound radius fretboard? Example is a Parker Fly. The radius (curve) of the fretboard at the 1st fret is 10". The radius of the fretboard at the 24th fret is 13" . Jackson I believe uses 12" at the 1st fret. 16" at the 24th.
  4. front x3 back x3 group I actually prefer the 24.75 scale ('89s) and the 25" scale ('94 & '09) on my Carvins. 7 string is 25.5 . What I like about superstrats. 24 frets. Easy access to that 24th fret. No heel. Humbuckers instead of singles. (No hum. Fuller sounding) Floyd Rose!! (still the most stable tuning, imho.) Prefer 12", 14", or 16" fretboard radius. (hate Fender 9", 10" radius) Balance well. No neck dive. Jumbo frets. Super low action. Thinner neck profile. Yes, you can shred on any guitar. LP, Tele, Jag, PRS, Semi-hollow, etc... But, to me a superstrat was designed with shred in mind. Just like Ducati and Harley. Both HD Corp. products. Ones designed to be fast and articulate. The other more laid back and loose.
  5. Schecter c1 hellraiser has a pretty beefy neck.
