My First Guitar

[iced_earth]

Hello Everyone,

I just thought I'd post a picture of my first guitar, my intoduction to the amazing world of Jackson/Charvel and guitar playing in general. She was a birthday present five years ago. She can play the into riffs to Smoke on the Water and Iron Man all by herself...

By the way, what model is this? I think it might be a 275 deluxe. It has a licensed single locking Floyd Rose.



Cheers,

-Mike

Nope, Predators had reverse headstocks.

Looks like a 275 special to me.

Cool guitar! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I'd ditch the single-locking trem for a real Floyd so you'll stay in tune. I had an original Floyd Rose II single-locking on my old Kramer, that thing was pretty much crap and didn't even compare to a great double-locking system.

Re: My First Guitar

You can upgrade your current trem as it`s a Schaller. Just go to your local dealer and get the parts. All you need is 6 Bridge Saddles (Three different Heights, 2 Of each), 6 String Blocks and 6 String Block Clamps. Thats it, You then have yourself a Double Locking high quality trem unit.

Thanks for the good advice. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] This trem was so bad that my fixed bridge became my main guitar. If it is this easy to change I might actually do it. I was thinking about keeping my first guitar exactly as I got her, but this upgrade sounds clean and simple. Thanks again.

Cheers,
