hey people
i've been playing guitar for allmost a year now.. still very new to all this
i got my jackson DK2 about 3 months ago.. so i just feel like sharing my shit with u.. how it all started and etc.. hope im not boring
hmm okay i bought it.. cool guitar and all that.. didnt know much but now that i had to change the strings, deal with the floyd rose, experiment with the guitar more, improve my playing by a thousand times.. i really like this guitar and it feels like only now i disocvered its full potential.
First when i got it.. i saw the floyd rose..i didnt care much about it, i thought i wont have trouble with it... then i started messin with the fine tuners and my guitar went completely out of tune and i got nervous as hell.. wtf is going on here.. after my tutor explained me how to tune it properly, change tunings and put on strings.. its really not a big deal, i dont know why people are scared of it.. if i ever get another guitar, i would certainly like another floyd rose..
hmm how did i get to jackson? well i asked on a forum.. said i like metal and all that.. and they recommended jackson.. asked my tutor and he recommended it too.. went to my local guitar store (Long&Mcuade if anyone knows) and tried it out.. originally i wanted to buy ibanez.. just because my friend has the ibanez SA and it felt really comfortable.. then i tried the ibanez RG and the neck wasnt so great .. then i tried the jackson DK2 and it blew my away. holy crap! what a smooth comofrtable neck.. much easier to get harmonics out of it.. feels great!
here's a pic of my tiny little setup
i also have an FBV shortboard that isnt shown in the pic..
and that is a real cheap les paul knock off.. got real bad twisted neck problems.. still playable.. good for rythem playing..
i got a couple of questions.. hope to get anwers
1. the ducan designed pickups are nice, but the guitar can sound a lot better with real pickups.. i will change them eventually and when i do, what should i go for? should i go for the real ducans like in the soloist? will emg's work on it too or it is meant more for ducans?
2. i am starting to play around with the whammy bar.. is it safe to push it up? i push it just a bit but im afraid the strings will just rip..
once i had 2 strings off and the bridge was tilted wayyy back and the rest of the strings didnt rip.. does that mean its safe to pull it up?
3 again regarding the whammy bar.. how come when i go to big dives, the guitar goes a bit flat? is it suppose to? i understand in regular tremolos it goes out of tune but here its floyd rose.. the purpose of the lock is to keep it in tune no? correct me if im wrong
okay dudes, im done, god bless u if u read everything.. but i doubt anyone did
