Members Shask Posted April 12, 2006 Members Share Posted April 12, 2006 Originally posted by shred-o-holic One thing that is frustrating for me personally is these companies like ESP, Schecter....their inconsistency in production concerning wood these days. You get quite a varience in the solidness of the same model. I would pickup a VB-400 baritone....but the last couple I have played seemed too light and not as solid as one particular model I tried last year. I tried a 400-nt last week that was just a joke.....such a feather weight balsa wood feel. I ran into a regular Viper that is massively heavy and weighed double than some of the same model as well........thats usually what I look for......it's not like I can call Musician's Friend and request them to send me the heaviest VB-400 they have.....they won't do that...... I know exactly what you are saying. Except I tend to go for a lighter one The heavier ones usually seem to be muddier, and more boomy in general.

I hit my guitar strings so hard that I like a heavy ballsy body to milk the tones out....ask Kage sometime about how hard I hit the strings.....he said he'd never seem someone hit them so hard lol........which may be good or bad....

Members TheGZeus,OnFire Posted April 12, 2006 Members Share Posted April 12, 2006 I use 12s in standard. I have a 7 bu the B is mainly for odd voicings. It's a UV777PBK so I have little choice but 10s on that(floyd post wear=ass pain. I use it alot, not abuse, but in most songs I'll do bends and warbles). I pound strings. I don't dig deep, but I hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KovachianOne Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Drop B/C tuning on a 24.75" scale guitar, is like putting fat rear tires on a front wheel drive car. That rhymed. I'm a poet and didn't know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AaronNi Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 Actually have a 24 1/2" scale guitar (de)tuned to drop G and the strings have good tension. Just had to raise the action because the higher strings buzzed, that'll happen with 13-72's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Strapping_Young_Lad Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 i remember Jed from SYL said with 24.75 scale guitar the intonation worked out better than with 25.5, tuning GCGCGC i think using 10-52's but with a .60 for the LOW G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
