Members colejustesen Posted October 10, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah I like it and it's still a great price on that geet...I just don't know if it is in the budget right meow. Dude I totally understand... I watched an awesome Godin guitar go for $250 on ebay with free shipping a year or so ago... The cheapest I have seen them since was around $450...

It is cool that you were able to actually talk with him, it probably makes him feel better [and I can imagine you too] on doing a deal...

Members Stevetemp Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 . Cole In Boise...you shouldn't have that much trouble keeping it "in"...should ya? Here in FLA we have massive temp and humidity issues.....when taking guitars from place to place indoors and outdoors. Like I said...once you "set" it...that should be the end of it, aside form VERY slight adjustments. The only real trouble you should be having is changing strings. I had a ovoid-shaped cigarette lighter (not like a bic...but flat sides) that I removed all the hardware from, and placed it behind the bridge. This keeps the floyd from falling backward when removing strings....makes it just like a hardtail. String change made easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This keeps the floyd from falling backward when removing strings....makes it just like a hardtail. String change made easy! It is pretty dry in Boise, but gets even more so in the winter. I don't have a problem with the tuning going out. What I meant about having to play with spring tension is if you decided to change string gauges or tunings. Having a Floyd Rose tremolo on my guitar was reason alone for me to get another guitar, that way I could have a different tuning. To me it was easier to buy a new guitar than to have to screw around setting up the bridge every time I wanted to change tuning. Anyway, I don't even use it a tremolo. So for me, they aren't something I want... As far as string changes, I take one off and put a new one on and repeat with each string until I am done. It works, but I think your idea is even better! Thanks for the tip. I replaced the bridge as I had a licensed Floyd stock and I feel like it is a lot more stable, however I liked the way the strings mounted on the licensed bridge better than the OFR. They would slide into a barrel and come to a stop, rather than having to cut off the balls... Really for me, I appreciate a fixed, hard tail setup...

Members Stevetemp Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 Totally cool cole! I get you. I like both ways...and use both to max potential. That's what I mean by "a good setup". I don't really change gauges or even string manufacturers. Once I decide what I want on a guitar...that's what it gets all the time. I have different guitars for different stuff.

Members Flogger59 Posted October 10, 2012 Members Share Posted October 10, 2012 Those are great Floyds, height adjustable nut. That said, not my flavor of neck, they're wide and flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yarbicus Posted October 11, 2012 Members Share Posted October 11, 2012 No worries, guys. He really didn't want to ship, I'm thinking. Got my eye on a RGX A2 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members colejustesen Posted October 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 11, 2012 Those RGX-A2 guitars seem cool... I am not too sure about the LED tone pot they use for indicating which pickup is on, but they are sleek looking! Especially the white one!
