yeah in a few months.....i mean i went to guitar center and picked it up and it play awesome.........i dont really like the red one bcuz of the dirty finger pickups but the body is nice.

VictorLazarus · 07-12-2008, 12:10 PM

I'd love to have one but here's the odd thing... even thou I used to be a NEED 24 frets kinda guy that was b4 I got a LP and I'd like the LP neck scale and fret size.

MVL.

stryker59 · 07-12-2008, 12:59 PM

they are nice guitars but the 24 fret lp would be wierd to me as well!

djwilbanks · 07-12-2008, 03:32 PM

I liked the one I played, good sound. Hate those inlays tho.

i wish they made the black ones with Dirty Fingers and block or trap inlays.

Dirty Fingers> EMGs, IMO. But hey, they are nice guitars either way.

jkinnison90 · 07-12-2008, 04:04 PM

Looks cool. I like the red one as well.

Sinmastah · 07-12-2008, 06:12 PM

I've played one at GC, kinda of fun but IMO the EMG's didn't sound much better than the stock Epi Pups.

+1

I played It while I was testing my tube screamer, in the same color....

I dont know if the guitar was bad set up, but the action seemed TOO low... and I couldnt get the best pinch harmonics with that....

I was testing it through a marshall valvestate 100% Tube amp

So, if I understand correctly: If you could have this guitar, you would not change ANYTHING about it?

djwilbanks · 07-14-2008, 12:02 AM

I'll go buy one and he can trade me his Gibson. Straight up, I'll even throw in a case.

InfiniteeZ · 07-14-2008, 12:06 AM

hahaha dj :]]

Its a nice guitar for damn sure! But as stated before those inlays...

shotgunlew · 07-14-2008, 12:18 AM

Not bad

lifele55 · 07-14-2008, 12:36 AM

I would play/own one if not for the... you guessed it, inlays...

I can deal with the inlay on the headstock, but the fretboard is hideous.

HERETIC!

diceman · 07-14-2008, 12:36 PM

I hate the inlays and headstock. If they would have kept them "normal," I'd really have liked it.

El_Greco · 07-14-2008, 02:24 PM

Yup same here, hate the inlays.

i have the Prophecy Gx, with dirty fingers - yeah teh red one. not sure what the prob is with the inlays.......variety is good, and they aint hideous or like shark fins!

mumble........ grumble...... haha!!

Sure the 24 frets are a bit of a change too, but these axes are aimed at rock/metal so.......

Ilike the transparent black dude, very nice! The trans red quilted maple on mine is sweeeet......

Ever play any of the ESP single-cuts? I used to have an ESP EC-1000, those are 24 fret and feel fine.
