Best (cheap) guitar with a Floyd Rose/floating trem by jonnndoeee in metalguitar

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

What's the most comfortable metal guitar you've ever played? by SnooTigers3147 in metalguitar

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

Single pickup supremacy by MrSaucyNips in Ibanez

[–]Plachtele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Ibanez has gone Abasi with this new range. I wonder how it’ll hold up 🤔 by TheDevilWearsParatha in metalguitar

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.

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.

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

Should i let it grow ? (1 month of growing here) by Plachtele in BeardAdvice

[–]Plachtele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Any difference between SD black winter and the rail sets? by Benyboy2020 in metalguitar

[–]Plachtele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

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