NGD: Drive Wildfire X2

[DalyTek]

Well, after much much drama (see my post in non-jackson related section) I have a new guitar day!

Got this budget guitar with expensive features in trade. It's a Drive Wildfire X2. Kind of a metallic pearl color, set neck with contoured heel (looks like a neck through), carved top, rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays, bound neck, hum-hum with 3-way toggle switch, single volume and single tone. Unique shape, kind of like a cross between an SG and a Parker maybe.

I pulled out the stock pickups and put in a set of Dragonfire 81/85 active pickups (and the corresponding electronics.)

All-in-all the guitar plays and feels nice. Has some buzz since I replaced the strings.
Looks and feels like an expensive guitar for sure.

Have some plans for minor upgrades...if I ever get some money lol

Well, judging by the lack of replies, I'm going to guess you all are so in love with this guitar (and so jealous of me) that words cannot be assembled to describe your feelings.

Seriously, our little forum is so full of smartassery that no comments must be a good thing! Or is everyone on here not being themselves and trying to spare my feelings?

Yes I think thats it.

Top horn is kinda weird, but different. Gibby vibe. I like the colors ... is that gold hardware? Definitely different. Where's it made?

So you changed strings and now they buzz, and in the other thread you said the truss rod doesn't work? Not to rain on your parade or piss in your Wheaties, but WHY would you contemplate spending upgrade money on a guitar without a working truss rod? Unless that's the "upgrade", but I'd call that a repair since a guitar is supposed to come with a working truss rod.
