Yeah- just crank the distortion up and get those harmonics squealing!
Check out Ibanez guitars too, Matt- they are good on price and I hear that the necks are a little more robust these days (mine wasn't- fell of a stand, cracked, was repaired, fell of a stand again- the crack opened a little again, but it's still playable. Before you ask, I'm a klutz and my stands are 15 years old!) The fretboards are wide and flat- lovely for fast, accurate playing, but need to be a little higher up your body, unless you're Steve Vai, who swings his Jem from the hips! I really want a 7 string- the John Petrucci model looks nice too, but pricey again. |

Gorgeous guitar, but I like 22 frets on a shredding machine!

Duh! yeah- meant to edit that, but at work and had to close the internet for a sec...
I'm a floating trem lover meself (Floyd or Edge or quality equivalent). Though I've played my Epiphone Black Beauty over so many gigs in the past (400 ish) that it fits and feels totally natural to play. I have to adjust when switching from that and my strats (chunkier neck) to my Ibanez (skinny as hell neck and mega wide flat fretboard). I love all my guitars for their differences, but all need working on- perhaps I should get that done instead of dream of getting a new one! |

Nothing feels beter to play than a freshly set up, repaired guitar. I spent ages a while back really sorting out my jackson, I even did the friggin intonation which I found difficult, but it plays so nice now.
The only prob I have with floyd rose is its not easy to detune / retune (i.e. metallica is in E to e tuning, children of bodom is in D to d, all strings down a full step), so when i wanna go play somethig that is in the differant tuning, I have to spend ages detuning. So another gutiar would be great for the detuned stuff, I can put on slightly heavier (.10) gauge strings on is aswell to retain some grunt in the tone. ![]() Matt |

The other thing you need to think about there is that the springs on the floyd are set to the tension of the strings in the standard eadgbe tuning. So if you change your tuning, the whammy bar will not return to the correct pitch when you use it- a good reason to have 2 guitars!
I think i'll invest in getting my hot rod strat fixed up in the new year (bonus time)- I haven't heard it through my current amp yet and it normally sounds gorgeous on the nasty old marshall valvestate I had... |
