NAMM production line Upgrades

[GWARGHOUL]

Can somebody tell me what the upgrades to the MG, and Pro and USA (if any) are?

I can't wait any longer!

Re: NAMM production line Upgrades

From the pricelist & other threads I've read: upgraded licensed trem for the trem models, real Duncans for Pro Series, real EMGs for MG Series except for the DXMG, which still has HZs.

New Pricelist:

X Series = Regular style Licensed Floyd (was previously Low-Profile style), keep Duncan Designed pickups, added trem to KVX10, updated/new colors.

MG Series =
DXMG gets a Regular style Licensed Floyd (was previously Low-Profile style), keeps EMG-HZ's.
DKMG/DKMGT/WRMG keep low-profile Floyds, get EMG 81/85 combo, lose the Afterburner.

Entire MG Series gets upgraded/new colors.


Pro Series:
DK2/KE3/RR3 = Keep Low-Profile Floyd, Black hardware (used to be Chrome), Seymour Duncan pickups, upgraded/new colors.

SL3: Upgraded/new colors and a real Floyd Rose (not a licensed copy).

RR5: Upgraded colors.

Re: NAMM production line Upgrades

entire MG series get upgraded/new colours?

i checked the WRMG spec list and it's the same: black, black forest, cobalt blue and trans black only. was hoping the trans-green would make a comeback or even amber sunburst.

Re: NAMM production line Upgrades

For the WRMG: Trans Black was upgraded (the way the finish is done and the final appearance of it improved) and Cobalt Blue was changed to a new shade of blue (darker).

All of the trans finishes were upgraded in the manner noted above. Inferno Red replaced Dark Metallic Red. Cobalt Blue changed to a darker shade of blue, which in turn also changed Cobalt Blue Swirl.

Re: NAMM production line Upgrades

could be just the network at my workplace but it crashes when i try to view either pdf. is the rx10d on there? from what i remember, it didn't mention whether the rx10d gets a bound neck and headstock, and will it still be in asb finish? do i still end up with duncan designed pickups?

Re: NAMM production line Upgrades

LOL....Unlucky....I'm not sure I understand your contempt of the specs.

If you want binding and real Duncans on a Japanese made guitar, you're not going to get them in the X Series price point.
