Both are very nice, but the slime is far more unusual, either way you should be very happy.

Dord · 02-02-2009 2:09am

There's a Dime on adverts, I saw it earlier. I can't be arsed looking for it now though, but it's there.

Plays beautifully. The neck is a bit thick in comparison to an ibanez but this is grand after a week playing it.

Original floyd rose is lovely but im after cracking the tremelo arm sleave :mad::mad::mad:

I was afraid of that. Im so used to playin an ibanez I'd like to try it out first.

Did you actually break the part it goes into or the replaceable bushings? or is there bushings on it? Im not familiar with original fr's

Defo try it, i was kind of putting it on the long finger but said id go down and try it.....and maybe if i liked it id get it a few months down the line.
Played it, bought it the next day:D:D:D

Im not too familiar with the original floyd rose myself but

I cracked down along the threaded part. Ill have to remove it and get a replacement part.

rcaz · 02-02-2009 10:11pm

I prefer the green one.

Which do you prefer? Get that one.

BuddhaJoe · 02-02-2009 10:46pm

There's a neck-thru 3 pickup ML on Adverts atm. If you like your outlandish finishes then this one might be right up your alley:

brendansmith · 02-02-2009 11:32pm

Hey actually you know what! I think i remember someone on this very site saying that they were opening a music shop in ireland and were going to sell schecters.

You may have to trawl through afew threads using the search function.
Im nearly positive.

A7X · 02-02-2009 11:53pm

hmmm well ill have a look thanks for the info man.

Patricide · 03-02-2009 12:32pm

If i were you id go check out ebay for an old washburn model, either that or an old dean. Both of these will prob play and sound a hell of a lot better than a new dean model.

Most new deans feel cheap, have a disgusting heel, sound cheap, and have a tendancy to break down from my experiance. But like everyone else has said get around to playing yourself. If you see one of the more expensive washburn models, seriously check em out. There beuts.
