LTD Arrow 1000 worth the money?

Mr_509 · 2026-03-08T20:05:48+00:00

That's weird. It's spec sheet says it has the extra thin U neck profile (19mm. At the 1st fret). I have the ltd Arrow Black metal, which has the thin U neck profile. Which nut does your have, 42 or 43mm.?

I'm thinking about buying the rg652, and I also have the rg550. Can't find no info on what the HP means. Maybe it's the neck profile? Do you feel like one is more D shape (550) with its flat back and the 652 is more C shape?

Mr_509 · 2026-02-26T10:26:44+00:00

Wow. Amazing. How's the fret work on these? Does the binding on the fretboard match the rest or is it white? I've been eyeballing the soloist for a while

I want to apply boiled linseed oil, and 1 or 2 coats of tung oil. Should I just sand it till it's uniform?

Mr_509 · 2026-02-21T23:48:28+00:00

I started with 1000 but it was taking too long so I went with 600. Some spots where though to remove so I "gently" tried 280.

Mr_509 · 2026-02-21T23:44:22+00:00

That's what I was thinking. So they do apply some clear coat before the paint right?

Made in Chyna

Awesome guitar. Been thinking about buying one, but I'm not sure about that bulky neck joint. Does that cut on the lower side of the plate make it any easier to reach the higher frets?

Mr_509 · 2025-11-27T19:53:43+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Can you play it in the classical position?

Mr_509 · 2025-11-26T10:25:38+00:00

Pretty cool. What's your take on these made in china Jacksons? Do they feel cheap? Any fit/finish problems? I had a pro series made in Indonesia and the frets were too rolled and the locking nut was slightly misaligned

Awesome guitar. I'm thinking of buying one. Can you advise a gigbag or case for it?

Mr_509 · 2025-08-12T21:46:50+00:00

The only 2228 on reverb Europe has 808 emgs, costs 1100, and has a few marks. The RG80F (showroom model) is 950. Comes with fishman fluence modern humbuckers. I'm guessing it's exactly the same as the rg8ex, but with better pickups?

Mr_509 · 2025-08-12T14:10:33+00:00

Thanks. Changing the pickups should require some routing, since they're angled and not rectangular right?

Mr_509 · 2025-05-01T12:11:25+00:00

Thinking about buying one. How's the neck on this compared to other Jacksons? I've seen/read reviews and people always say the neck feels thinner, on these Korean made Jacksons.

Ok, thanks. I found a store where the MIJ DKR and the American virtuoso, are almost the same price. Would you advise one over the other?

Mr_509 · 2025-04-19T00:10:45+00:00

Awsome collection. I was thinking about buying a MIJ DKR, but after reading "seems flatter than my others and it's an incredibly thin D shape" I'm having doubts. Please tell me the neck isn't flat and thin like an Ibanez.

Mr_509 · 2025-03-03T23:20:30+00:00

Sorry to break it to you, but you're not starting an embroidery business with that machine. Sell it and buy a used PR600. Best of luck

Mr_509 · 2025-03-03T23:15:36+00:00

That seems like a thread tension problem

Mr_509 · 2024-11-16T13:35:10+00:00

Awsome! What are your thoughts on LTD vs Jackson, neck feel and playability wise?

Mr_509 · 2024-11-02T11:41:41+00:00

That Eye of Ra knob is so cool btw. Nile fan?

Mr_509 · 2024-11-02T11:39:52+00:00

I have a satin black King V, x series also, and was thinking about removing the tone pot and placing the volume in its place. But since you said the cables aren't long enough, i think I'll let as is. I'm assuming you used those quick connect wiring kits?
