  • NGD! (Third time's the charm?)

    Okay, so after going through both a JS30 Dinky and a KV2 and ending up selling both, I thought "I guess Jackson isn't the company for me". However I saw an ad in what you could call the Swedish equivalent of Craigslist on the sale of a used RR5. So I e-mailed the guy, asked what he wanted for it and since it was half the price of a new one + case (not sure if the new ones come with one), I kept it in mind and when I got enough money for it, I figured "Fuck it, why not?". I paid for it monday, he set it up with new strings yesterday and took it to a company that'd transport it here via bus. It arrived today and I really like it so far. Only problem is a really annoying hum on the bridge and neck-positions on the toggle switch. Loudest on the bridge-pup, which sucks. Ah well.

    The case has a logo of the former owners band on it which I decided to keep, as a sign of respect for where the guitar has been.

        Very nice.

        Just curious why the KV2 didn't work and that model did for you?

          Nice guitar. The humming thing sounds like a simple grounding issue. Shouldn't be too hard to fix.

              Indeed I did! Great guy, so easy to work with! I told him I'd try to take care of it, so he can buy it back if he wants to down the road.

              Thanks for the pics man, cool to see!

                Honestly, I'm not sure. I've grown sick of floating trems so that could be part of it.

                  I suck at tech stuff though. I'll just take it to the local shop most likely.
