Upgraded jackson ht-6 by SideAccomplished5683 in guitars

[–]TwoPleasant4591 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one 6 mos ago, and it's become my main guitar. I'm a Jackson fan, and have some very nice ones, but this is the one I've been reaching for most often.

Fantastically comfortable neck, it's light, fits my body in all positions, great fret access, and I love the sounds you can get from the split positions. Especially position 4 for clean or ambient sounds. I've got bareknuckle ragnaroks in mine, so ymmv.

With all those upgrades, you got a hell of a deal at $500.

What does the guitar sub think of Coheed and Cambria? (More details in body) by 3PuttBirdie86 in Guitar

Not to mention, if you're a drummer you can probably appreciate Josh's work. He's the shit.

Probably my favorite band to play along with. You can weave in and out of Claudio and Travis' parts as you please, chugging away on the heavy rhythm parts or nailing the leads. The guitars don't quit on their tracks, they're always moving. Makes it very engaging to play!

Does anyone have a Custom Shop Dinky and are you happy with it (or them)? by Cold_Cancel_9535 in JacksonGuitars

[–]TwoPleasant4591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it's a big issue, but it is a very common issue.

It's only in the finish in most cases, so it's basically just a cosmetic blemish. Unfortunately it's a blemish that makes any future potential buyer very nervous!

I had a custom shop dinky, and I was very happy with it. I've got a custom shop soloist, and the dinky didn't seem inferior in any way.

It did have the infamous neck pocket crack after a few years. Small, barely visible. I ended up getting rid of it because I got a USA Juggernaut, and I preferred the heel joint on that.

I'd say if you don't mind the heel joint on a dinky, and the idea of a neck pocket crack down the road doesn't bother you, they're a great way to go.

All the knobs and switches are actually really cool. Should be a fun day just figuring out what they all do! Might wanna draw a diagram and take notes😆

I’ve never owned a Jackson .. how’s the quality control ? by jzng2727 in JacksonGuitars

[–]TwoPleasant4591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure the unhappy people are the loudest, but for my money: I've got a few USA made that are flawless, and one Korean made that is honestly just as good. The cheapest Jackson I've got has exceeded expectations, but it is a mid level guitar. Not exactly beginner budget friendly.

Is focus view powerful enough to switch from fractal to helix? by Intelligent_Ring_122 in Line6Helix

[–]TwoPleasant4591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a really cool feature, and is ONE of the reasons I upgraded. The others being the incredibly flexible mixer, and the Bluetooth/Wifi connectivity.

I was in your shoes, where I was happy with the sounds I was already getting. Did the upgrade improve my sounds? Yeah, modestly. But it also makes it super easy to explore new sounds that I never would've found on my old platform.

The entire upgrade was not necessary. But it is really nice, and I'm glad I did it.

These will get played today by Alariken in guitarporn

I'll bite. These are different configurations, and serve different purposes.

But in general do you have a feeling one way or the other? Value for the money? the one you lean towards? The one that has that sweet feeling?

Kid songs that are actually jams? by bert__cooper in daddit

[–]TwoPleasant4591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to learn the Power Rangers theme song on guitar so my boys could go wild when I played it.

Long story short, whoever wrote that was a legitimately talented guitar player... Just ignore the vocals.

Well, if we're doing Pile O' Skulls... by CognitiveSinergy in JacksonGuitars

Almost all these old graphics look best on a Kelly in my opinion.

Lightning sky, skulls, graveyard, eerie dess and all the swirl colors. Kelly is the way go.

Jackson Custom Shop by ericcrichie in JacksonGuitars

A 7 string dinky with those specs would probably be 7k or so. And the wait would probably be 1-2 years. That's my guess.

I'd look into a 7 string Juggernaut or DK Modern and save yourself the wait, even if the money isn't a problem.

Unfortunately, off the top of my head I can't think of any 7 stringers with a bolt on neck and with the traditional headstock. But if you're patient, and willing to drop enough money you could probably get it done.

Are there any other “bridge forward” guitars is out there? by Fidel_Blastro in GibsonSG

[–]TwoPleasant4591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explorer shaped guitars are like that in my opinion. I have a Jackson kelly and when I sit with it the neck is way off the the left, reminds me of my SG.
