Hails Guys
yeah, i want the classic mahogany sound of all these models i mentioned. Les paul, explorer or flying V
but i think it´will be a hard task to find any of these Brands you mentioned here in brazil. you know, i´m kinda at the ASS of the world here, Buying wise speaking. HAHAHAHAHAHA
q:P
i think i can grab an LTD ECLIPSE, cause the price isn´t that much,btu a real ESP eclipse will make my pockets as empty as one´s Stomach, after a good Hangover and night of vomits
ahahahahahahaahahahahahahah
Q:p
JP

Those explorers you posted pics here are really gorgeous, but i never played one explorer before.
i just touched the neck profile on a gibson flying v(dn´t know the model) and it was as thick as a baseball thing ahahahahah
are all the flying v´s that thick neck profile?!
i loved the les paul ones
i had a les paul joe perry by epiphone.
i cna´t say tomuch of it, since i was just developing my ears and guitars skills. so i cna´t coment,but the pickups aren´t great, 2 Hellbuckers with the inscription OBL and both were BLADE pickups
any clue on it?!
Ah, that brand, SHELTER SX, korean guitars... i know that someone here bought someof their guitars ,can you do a review for me or link me with the pst where the review is?
Q:p
U think these days my english is getting worse, maybe it´s too much Pressure from University, ahahahaha

you're english is very good! i understood every bit!

stay away from Vintage gibson copies (i mean the company Vintage) if you want tone. they are exact (well, almost) copies of the Gibson ones, but made with cheaper components and wood. but if you BKPed one, it should sound fine!

Both my Edwards Vs have pretty chunky necks. Which I like. I don't know about the Tokai Vs (but new Tokai Vs are all Korean anyway, they don't make them in Japan at the moment).

Explorer necks are usually on the hefty side too.

Thank´s Phil and Bloodymountain
i Tend to Explain my snetences too much,and that can cause someconfusion for you, natives of english language. if i remember right, English is a pretty straight language. no need to explain the snetences. they are self explanatory, on most of the cases. With Portuguese,you have a new level of intrincated Meanings. one word/sentence can mean more than a couple of things. so, it need to be exactly explain. that´s what tend to difficult peoples knowledge of portuguese. it´s kinda too much intrincated on it´s meanings.

By the way, Should i look to Epiphone guitars? they are pretty easy to find here . but,which models do you recomend?

thanks for the insight into your native language! 'tis fascinating.

quite a few people on here have Epiphone guitars, _tom_ has an Epiphone LP and i'm sure there must be more.

Epis are fine, but you may have to check a lot of them until you find a good one (just like a real Gibson)

stay away from Vintage gibson copies

The ones I've tried have sounded and felt every bit as good as their modern Gibson counterparts. I've always been EXTREMELY impressed.

mine is a 2004 VS6 SG copy. it is fine, but i only mentioned the TONE. the stock pickups aren't very good, and i suspect the tone isn't the same due to the quality of wood.

Alot of people are quite harsh on LTDs but every one I've played have been rather nice to be frank, although I'm not a construction wizard.

The eclipse I first played was an LTD and it was fine, nice shape and weight, good finish, nice tone, and came with a bunch of features.

Hummmmmmm Interesting Stuff.

The only bad LTDs I've played are the Agathis ones, not that the contruction was that bad, they're just cr@p guitars.

I own an Epi SG custom, and although the build isn't too bad, I don't like the tone at all.

WITH FULL DISTORTION · « **Reply #27 on:** March 23, 2007, 08:44:54 PM »

Yah, what i´m worried about are the $%&#gin Construction and wood. besides of that i can mod the hell out of it and it will be fine
Q:p
SO,if the contruction and the woods Are OK, then i´ll grab it.

Is there anyone wanting to buy my Ibanez Rg 570 Japan!?
