New Guitar Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!
« on: March 19, 2008, 04:53:31 PM »
I saw this on ebay and GAS attacked big time I got the seller to knock £50 of f the buy it now price too :p

Its an esp LTD SC-607 its the non-baritone version (the baritone is on the list ). It plays even better than the one I played in a shop the neck is just the perfect size for me, much better than the schecter, jackson and maverick 7's ive had, its a little more rounded and fuller than the jackson and the maverick but thinner and faster than the schecter.

The thing that really suprised me though was the tone from the EMG 81-7's. I've never really been an EMG fan, and I was expecting to be ripping them out when I had the money and put some bkp's in, as the one I tried in the shop was an older maple bodied version with EMG 707's in it and that sounded typically EMG - a bit brittle and sterile. But these are so much better not quite up to miracle man standards but close! They really suit my engl down to the ground, granted they are not the best for clean but I dont care that much about that I didnt buy it to play clean. having said that I might get one of those new 707TW's with the single coil to put in the middle to give it a bit more variety.

Anyway heres some pics:







and with is little brother my SC-600 with miracle man bridge.

Out of curiosity , what is the point of having the two humbuckers closer together? a bigger tone when mixing?

Nice though, love the bare wood look of some guitars.

Was that a testicle reference I hear from you Indy?

One testicle is naturally larger than the other.

Yeah Its the best 7 Ive ever played (although a blackmachine could possibly top it :p)

@badgermark
The middle pickup has a bit more bite than it would in the neck and when mixed distorted chords sound huge. (although you've got to be careful with how much bass you've got dialled in.
