Anyone tried out the Matt Tuck Signature?

[Death-A-Holic]

Hello to all! First post here although I´ve been reading the forum for quite a while.

So, has anyone tried out the Matt Tuck signature rhoads yet? I´m interested in how is the neck and does it have any issues with neck dive? Haven´t seen it in the music stores here in Finland yet, so I haven´t been able to check it out myself.

I´ve been checking out the black one with silver bevels, cool looking axe I think. I´m not a BFMV fan, hell, I don´t know if I´m a fan of any band, besides old Sepultura, Carcass and such.. The fact that the guitar is Matt Tuck´s signature doesn´t bother me, since I´ll be doing the playing with it, not Matt Tuck.

Other option to quench my thirst for a hardtail rhoads would be to wait for a RR1T to come up at a decent price in ebay etc., but I just like the color scheme on the MT sig better than on any RR1T.(although it could have binding on neck and headstock )

Oh, and my main guitar at the moment is Ibanez VBT-700.

Welcome to the forum. Somebody here bought one, KBRR is his screen name, but he seems to have deleted his post. I believe he said the neck was the flattest RR neck he'd ever played. Maybe he sold it already, I don't know.
The RR1T is also a great choice, and I loved both of mine (though, I only have one now).

Thanks man! Lets see if KBRR or some other member of the forum can shine a little bit more light on the subject.

If the neck is the flattest on a RR, it could possibly come close to the neck of my Ibanez. Strange thing though, the thinner necks feel good to me when sitting and playing, but when standing up, the fatter necks feel better.

My other guitar, BC Rich NJ Jrv Deluxe has a bit fatter neck that I've grown to like quite much.

Oh and good sig Toejam, At The Gates is a legend!

Hey guys , yea i still have my matt tuck RR ( my pics all got deleted so i deleted my post) Its a cool guitar , i have the black one with silver bevels , i have played RRs for years and this neck is the thinest one i have ever played ( i think its just jacksons inconsistent finishing) The sperzel locking tuners are awesome im just not a huge fan of the inlays and black binding but other than that its a cool guitar.

1,349.99 USD = 849.636 GBP

Oh, and yes, Guitar Asylum do ship to the UK (they have some amazing but expensive customs):

Then add VAT and import duty. IMO, I'd be looking for a used USA Select.
