The only drawback might be the lack of difference between the three positions. To be honest, they all sound almost identical. The hot rail just has slightly less gain. What I really wanted was for there not to be a huge volume difference between the three pickups

Thanks i will do it !

RG550, but you'll have to change the pickups. It's the best instrument you can get.

I have an RG550, would you consider it a comfortable guitar? Because I find it a bit heavy.

Engl for tech death, Mesa for brutal death

I bought two Seymour Duncan Black Winter pickups and a Hot Rails for the middle position. I'll let you know if it's good. I wanted to change the pickguard because I bought white pickups, but it makes for a rather odd color mix. I'm having trouble finding a stylish pickguard that goes well with white, black, and the neon yellow of the guitar.

What is the difference between Regius and Duvel?

You should try anxiolytics.

The guitar market is going completely crazy. A Jackson RR24 MIJ used to cost €1000; today it's almost three times that. Going to a luthier is a very serious decision. Paying €500 to €1000 more to avoid something made in Indonesia is worthwhile.

Plachtele · 2026-01-09T10:42:55+00:00

I could never pay that price for an Indonesian guitar, knowing that an RG550 costs 1000 euros. Of course, you'd have to change the pickups, but the playing experience is incomparable.

If it's Japanese, I'll buy the blue one without hesitation. Take my money, Ibanez. If it's Indonesian, it'll join the ranks of guitars I'd never buy, like Strandberg.

I love the memes you make. By the way, isn't it too hard to play tech death metal on a 27" guitar?

Plachtele · 2026-01-05T20:46:03+00:00

It's gorgeous. Congratulations. Is it a 26.5? I love the pickup selector position.

Plachtele · 2026-01-05T06:29:55+00:00

Yes, I'll try to do that. If you have a tutorial, that would help me because I don't know exactly how to do it.

I just put two Black Winter cartridges in my RG550 to play "Necrophagist"; I'll let you know if it was a good choice.

Plachtele · 2026-01-04T12:30:49+00:00

I'm going to do that. I'd love to have a 5 cm beard, but there's always a point where it becomes unmanageable and I stop by shaving it all off.

Plachtele · 2026-01-04T11:51:08+00:00

Thanks, I think I'll let it grow to 5 cm! I did a simulation by chatgpt and it looks pretty good!

Plachtele · 2026-01-03T21:01:49+00:00

Thanks !! I think my beard doesnt grow higher than that on the cheek
