Heisman Trophy Winner
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...

 
Currently rocking an Epiphone LP Jr and a acoustic Epiphone AJ 220 running through a Line 6 Spyder 15 watt...

 
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.

 
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.

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.

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.

I'm hoping that's it, and nothing more...

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...

with where the issue is on the neck, the truss rod might be all there is to it. 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.

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?
Click to expand...
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.
