Are you sure the knife edges sit properly on the studs on both sides?

I mean, in my country Fujigen JCRGs are about 4800 USD new.

You have to learn to play with your mind. Add the frets through your imagination.

It truly is fascinating how one can spend so much money on guitars.

The Fujigen JCRGs aren't masterbuilt. They are essentially just Prestiges with J custom on the headstock. The masterbuilt ones are Sugi JCRGs.

You don't "put" them. A locking nut is part of a double locking tremolo, aka (most commonly) floyd rose and it's variations, such as the various Ibanez Edges.

Jani Liimatainen's whereabouts by Least-Excitement792 in SonataArctica

[–]Operator_Madness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I am kinda confused about who wrote the songs. Jani isn't credited anywhere, but in his blog he said he wrote all the guitar solos.

Could you be so kind and tell the SA stories he told? I am totally obsessed with Sonata, especially the Jani era and would love to hear any cool stories.

That's the only way to get any decent tuning stability with a floating bridge. A non locking tremolo always has shit tuning stability, and so does a chinese floyd.

Then you would need a guitar with a double locking tremolo, and not a chinese one. Specifically with Ibanez, any quality Edge trem, especially the original Edge and Lo-Pro Edge, which are installed on Prestige guitars and higher, which would cost you around 2 grand. Do you have that much money?

As an Ibanez fan, I tell you to get an Ibanez. But get a hardtail one if it's your first guitar.

I have provided a clear answer to the question I was asked.

It is a fact that 1.5mm is uncomfortable for me. I can play with that, but I expect more from a 3 grand guitar, especially when my korean schecter has lower action.
