hey gang. just joined this forum. you all seem very knowledgeable about your chosen axe and have some sweet f*ckin guitars! my previous charvel experience is with a 1986 model 4 which is an awesome axe.
i just purchased two ebay guitars...a jackson fusion xl pro and a 2005 san dimas standard. wanted to see what you guys thought of them. they both look like great guitars. i did a little research on the san dimas std and it appeared to ME that everything matched up (i.e. it was a genuine san dimas) prior to my bid on it. I checked out this site AFTER the purchase and it appears that a fellow member had the guitar prior to me, so that definitely eased my mind! one note...i read on another forum that ALL san dimas guitars have a skunk stripe neck. please tell me that that isn't true because this one sure doesn't!
a few members mentioned that they didn't like the duncan p/u so a dimarzio tone zone was installed. i'm planning on checking out the guitar to see if i like it (the pickup). if i don't, what tone zone would you all recommend? i'm not familiar with different dimarzio p/u's.
also...the fretboard on the san dimas DOES look a little parched. what would you all recommend for an oil product?
thanks again gang, and again, i would appreciate and welcome any insight, critiques, advice or suggestions about my incoming guitars.
take care!
