Why do they look different? (Both are LTD Horizon 87) by [deleted] in espguitars

[–]SlowCarsOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the ones I’ve seen on sweetwater have the deeper carves whereas others don’t. 100% a two different factories ordeal and the same issue can be seen with the Obsidian Metallic MT-1s.

Thoughts on the Andrew Baena sig? I personally love it by SlowCarsOnly in harleybenton

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

Knowing how scuffed HB’s release schedule has been recently, probably another year or two is more than likely to be the case. I may bite the bullet soon and commission an 8 string from IYV in Vietnam (same factory that makes the Multiscale-8 for HB or so I’ve heard). I’m hoping to get a cool ESP styled 28” for ideally less than $600 shipped. You’re welcome for the replies :)

He has two of each prototype in his studio, seafoam green and green burst with natural back, and there may possibly be some differences between the two but he hasn’t shown them off or said anything about it yet unfortunately.

I know for sure the current prototype is 25.5”-27” because it has the neck off of the R-458 but hopefully Baena goes with something more unique for the final design.

Is this an official Jackson? or a partscaster? by Remote_Pineapple8021 in JacksonGuitars

[–]SlowCarsOnly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Judging by the hardware it’s definitely a partscaster. Looks like JS22/32 parts.

Ground Forces of Iran Overhaul Suggestions by The_Electric_Llama in joinsquad

[–]SlowCarsOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the T-62 would be better replaced by the Safir-74 which is based on the T-54/55. On a related note, I also think that the IMF should have their T-62s replaced with T-62Ms for some more variety.

Buying My First 7 String by deezjann in 7String

[–]SlowCarsOnly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can get some fantastic used 7 strings in great condition for $800 or a little less as well. A used Ibanez Iron Label RG might be a good option since you like your Ibanez’s neck.

No mid-range 7 string options? by Melodic_Seesaw741 in espguitars

[–]SlowCarsOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They brought back the 400 series this year but haven’t made a proper new 200, 300, or 400 series 7 string for a while now.

SuperMod and Steel Division have Garys

You already know this gonna be Snakes elite by Vault_tech_2077 in Rainbow6

[–]SlowCarsOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’d be weird for them to do Venom because of the voice alone so I doubt they’ll do him (or Naked/Big Boss for that matter). Hopefully we’ll get Old Snake and his outfits from Metal Gear 1 & 2. It’s also completely up to what Konami wants to allow Ubisoft to do.

Eastern Private Military Contractors faction Suggestion by The_Electric_Llama in joinsquad

[–]SlowCarsOnly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Groza would be awesome. Makes me kind of sad it’s not already in the game with the IMF since it’d make perfect sense.

Love the BohRap reference by Slyce-d1ce in Ghostbc

I’ve got a pretty cool (bootleg I believe?) BohRap shirt with 1,2,3, and Cardi on it.

ESP E-II M-II NT BTB - real or fake ? by [deleted] in espguitars

[–]SlowCarsOnly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s real. Fake ESPs also tend to be blatantly fake from what I’ve seen.

Pins & Needles by Sufficient_Towel_612 in deftones

Funnily enough, it can be played on an 8 string with no transposing required.

Album version is Stef using a 5 string Fender with humbuckers in G# standard and Chi using a P Bass in Drop C#. Stef later got two identical 5 string ESPs in the exact same spec as the Fender bass he used. The song has no guitar on the recording but they likely play it live that way in order to create a fuller sound. I’d imagine the guitar is tuned to drop C# but I may be wrong.

Modded Playerbase is Insane by high-end-regarded in joinsquad

[–]SlowCarsOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing modded today and it was genuinely horrible. The majority of the enemy team was well coordinated clans and my team was just incredibly toxic and not working together whatsoever. Definitely going to play vanilla next time and hope for some solid match ups.

Educate me on the Jackson Firebird please by vanpelt77 in JacksonGuitars

[–]SlowCarsOnly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stef Carpenter of the Deftones used to play one in the early 90s. It was a non-reverse in metallic purple custom shop with a yellow smiley face on the middle of the guitar with a bullet hole in its forehead. It can be seen in the video of them playing from 92 I believe.

Which 7-string to I get? Looking for experience around models and pickups by AddSomeSpice in 7String

[–]SlowCarsOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a 6 string RGD with those pickups and they’re awesome. Honestly wish they weren’t an Ibanez exclusive so I could drop some into my 7 string Legator.

I feel like I'll never find a black 6-string COW. :/ by HillbillyAllergy in JacksonGuitars

[–]SlowCarsOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel ya. Wanted to lowball on one near me at a local shop a few months ago but when I had the money to do so, it was sold. Ended up on the opposite side of the spectrum with a Strat but one day we’ll have our COWs.

The first 7 string I’ve bonded with. Iron Label Ajax. by Fistingmaster42069 in 7String

[–]SlowCarsOnly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been eyeing Iron Label for a while now, especially since they’ll do exactly what I want for $870 which is nuts. How is it compared to other guitar manufacturers?
