  1. No, No, NO. The stamps on the bottom correspond to the WIDTH of the nut. ~d~ At least, that's what I was taught.
  2. ...which should be the exact height of the first fret. ~d~
  3. I had one of those, only mine was a '75. Gibson made quite a few standards with Deluxe necks (or Deluxes with standard bodies, if that's how you want to look at it). I *loved* that guitar, I miss it daily. Congrats! ~d~
  4. Why do you have to do that to me??? ~d~
  5. Naaaah, I've been cheap forever Me too. I'm sure G will vouch for the fact that I've been a CHEEP barstid as long as we've known each other. :-) ~d~
  6. Make sure you put the neck screws in the correct positions. There are a pair of long screws and a pair of short screws. Put a long screw in where a short screw belongs and it *will* go through the fretboard... ~d~
  7. And all this time I thought it was "crowd." Silly me.
  8. There is no good guitar but Ibanez There is no good Ibanez that isn't made in Japan There's no good Japanese Ibanez except the Jem Steve Vai is God. The four reasons I don't go to Jemsite anymore. Oh well, no great loss. Now I've got PG! ~d~
  9. Those are KILLER guitars. Through and through. And I'd prefer almost ANY RG over any JEM, but that's me. It's just a "bang for the buck" thing... ~d~ I can get one of these with a hard case for $749 CAN (approx. $532 USD) is this a decent price? Aaron Yes. Yes it is. I'll take two. ~d~

  11. I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Avoid Jemsite like the plague. All the time you'll spend wading thru the elitism makes it easier to just figure it out yourself. too late... Anyway, I've found a lot less elitism on that site than many others I've joined. The 555 is about the only thing they have an issue with there. ...and anything without an Edge trem...and anything not made in Japan...and anything that doesn't say "Ibanez" on the headstock... Did I miss anything? Jemsiters tend to be Japanese Ibanez snobs, and will attempt to tell you that all Korean Ibanezes are junk and every trem ever made is a piece of crap compared to the Edge/LoPro Edge. Has anyone ever considered that there might be reasons that so many of us have fled here from Jemsite? As far as the dude above who said the guy'd be better off buying an RG550 and having Dimarzios put in it and having a vine done - are you insane? A pair of Evos will cost you at least $100, plus the $300+ cost of having the vine done. You still won't have the JEM "extras" like the monkey grip and lion's claw, and you can't buy a Evo single coil ANYWHERE. So, buy a used RG550 for $300-$400, then throw in another $400+, and you'd end up several hundred dollars OVER the cost of a used JEM555. The trem is not junk people, the TRS line have been used on guitars from every major guitar manufacturer from Ibanez to Jackson to Fender to Gibson. Get over the elitism, buy the used 555 you want and get a Schaller OFR for $70 and STILL save money. Better yet, buy a used RG and avoid JEMitis altogether... ;-) ~d~
  12. I very nearly bought that guitar a week ago. I *so* want it. Oh well. ~d~
  13. Could someone send me the "Relic how-to" instructions? I'd really appreciate it! ~d~
  14. I have an original Line6 Flextone XL, and all I can say is it will not let you down. Mine's been gigged hard, has a tear in the speaker grille, a dent in the chassis, and it still works flawlessly. It does everything I want an amp to do - from a full blown Mesa when I'm playing on my RG7, a Marshall when I'm playing my LP, to a nice black face Fender when I feel like bluesing it on my '56 Strat. The amps have only gotten better with the Flextone II and III models. You really can't go wrong when you want 32 amps for one low price! ~d~
  15. Alex, An important part of any relic guitar is the little dings and dents. A great way to get them is to lay your guitar body on the ground and drop a bucketful of assorted bolts onto it. :-) ~d~
