Members RyGy Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 So even though I got laid off on tuesday I decided to pick up a new guitar. I was saving up for a Diezel, so I had the money. I got me an LTD FX260SM check it out http://www.espguitars.com/guitars_fx.html The guy put in some EMGs, and I am going to put some planet waves locking tuners on there today. I will post some pics. There are a few dings on the back, but the front looks good, and the neck is straight. $380 Canadian...That is about $305 USD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Burn Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 It's pretty well established that this is a sickness. There is no cure. I'm this close to burning everything short of my tuition on an old Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RyGy Posted December 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 I did get 5 months of severance, and I have sold $1500 worth of gear to get a Diezel, and I have put that on hold for now. I am also selling my monitors which I used in my home office. I am keeping my main monitors. I also already have four jobs that I am looking at, one of them is from a head hunter for one of my old works employers. I am expecting to start work again mid-late Jan.

Members RyGy Posted December 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 I will post some pics, and my opinion on it after I am done giving it a good cleaning, checking the solder joints, installing locking tuners, and doing a minor setup. I am about half done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RyGy Posted December 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 Happy NGD! That deserves to be quoted in every reply Everything looks good so far. I am going to let the guitar sit overnight with the new strings before adjusting the truss rod. The old strings looked like they were over a year old. They were nasty, and probably 9s tuned down a full step They felt like rubber bands. The truss rod will need a good size adjustment so i want to let it sit and settle a bit first. I am going to go through the wiring, but the question is do I leave in a tone control that I almost never use, or put in an EMG afterburner that I have sitting around for a boost?? I have also put the 85 in the bridge, and the 81 in the neck. It sounds huge so far!!! I can't wait to do a proper setup on it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RyGy Posted December 14, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 I just took a pic of my three electrics. I need a new nut for my new guitar. I want to put an earvanna on it, and on my V. I have to wait until I head down to the states for new years. I can't find a shop locally that sells them. Other then that it plays pretty nice, and those planet waves tuners are the best that I have ever used!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
