I went out into town today and tried about 15 different guitars including, fenders,gibsons,esp,ibanez and a few deans (even though id never want to own one)
I ended up trying a few of these RGD's to pick out the best one and found one that was really balanced and loud acoustically and it just plays like a dream
I thought the extended scale would be a problem at first but i barely notice it at all and im loving the tension in D standard.
anyway this is the guitar

I got the white one as the gray burst ones werent actually a burst at all in person and were just a boring gray and well i love white gutiars anyway.
The stock pickups arent actually half bad (not exactly BKPS but theyre decent) The only problem i have with them is theyre a fair bit brighter than the BKPS i have in my RGA.
Currently i have no plans to replace them.
I cant find my camera atm so pics will be up tomorrow with a soundclip too, im thinking something by testament should suffice.

Congrats! The white looks better then the - yes - somewhat boring grey.
-
the grey looks even worse in person its just grey it doesnt even have the dark edges
-
Congratulations.

Very nice buy there, I love white guitars.
This might be the way forward for a drop A guitar for me :D Ill have to check one out.

If you arent keen on it having a trem then theres also the version with the gibralter standard bridge which is the one i have on my RGA its really solid and you can really fine tune for the intonation with it.
-
as promised heres a clip, I have decided that i actually really dislike the bridge pickup on this after playing my BKP'd RGA straight afterwords :lol:
So i've sent an email to Tim to check what he suggests im kinda hoping he says the painkiller will work well as i've fancied trying one for a while.
