New Guitar Day! (Pics inside!) XPT700

[straycat]

I found the edge III pretty much as good as the old ones.

Fancy doing a short review? I've been drooling over the Xiphos since I first saw it on Jemsite but none of the shops near me have them in stock yet.

Edge III trem? Ewwww. Those things are nothing but bad news.

I've got one. Puts the Licensed Floyd to shame. I had it set up and it can hang with any trem, besides the OFR of course.

Also, nice guitar man. I'd have one right now if they didn't come in those finishes. Too flashy for me.

Indoors, the color change isn't as dramatic but in sunlight its pretty crazy if you move around. In dark lighting it usually stays red.

Still waiting for mine...I keep hearing mixed reviews on the balance...Does it hang off the body without the head wanting to dive?

[MaXDGaD]

it is kind of neck heavy because of the strap button placement. Use a leather strap and you should be fine but a nylon strap will not do you any good.

I only use leather...I don't like that pulling though. I need to have my guitars comfy...It all good if you don't play 45+ minut gigs all the time but...We do this quite ofter.

It just seems strange since it is a mah body and with quite a lot of mass...I wonder if you located the strap buttons so it like a RR (Inside of the upper wing and behind the heel) if that would make it sit in the pocket?
