walksalone Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 since my status update got so many good hits, why not... I think the neck on my Epiphone might be jacked. It buzzes only from the 5th fret to the 12th, then is fine... Quote Link to comment

strigori Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 It may not be that big of a deal. Its possible something like the truss needs adjusting, or something else fairly simple to fix. But its still probably $75 or more to have a guy look at it. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm running an ESP LTD H-351NT and an Ibanez Artcore partial hollowbody, with Orange's Jim Root Terror and the matched 2-12 Cab. Quote Link to comment

But its still probably $75 or more to have a guy look at it. Well, the good thing is, when I got it, I got the 25 dollar, 2 year "warranty", so I may be able to have them fix it for nothing...

Very possible. It sounds like it might need a 'set up' which when I had bought mine came free with the purchase. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 My next purchase is going to be a micro terror, because that thing is just a monster... Very solid entry level metal head. I looked at a number of things when I bought my gear, the versatility of the Jim Root Terror over the Tiny Terror swung me though. Quote Link to comment

I'm hoping the next didn't warp, which is worst case scenario, but I got it from SamAsh, and the guy I deal with there is nothing short of awesome, so I'm pretty sure I could just swap it out...

I played through it at the SamAsh I go to, then I saw this, and it sold me... At 6:00 in, this got me... Quote Link to comment

If its not tensioned right, it can make the neck bend a bit. But that is something I would be scared to touch on my own. Quote Link to comment

walksalone Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Same guys video was the final sales point for me as well actually. Now that is just too damn funny... I wanted to ask, how do you like the Artcore? Quote Link to comment

I wanted to ask, how do you like the Artcore? It has some nice tone, definitely works better for more mellow stuff. A metal guitar it is not. I also find that the neck is no where near as comfortable as the neck on my LTD. Its a bit thicker, and I end up with more muscle fatigue quickly. So overall, its nice, but it would never be my primary. Quote Link to comment
