No hate but it is kinda lame to go from alder on the USA model to basswood on this.

Don't knock those FR Special bridges. They're actually really fuckin stable. Head and shoulders above a standard LFR. I had one on a low-end Lag that I bought on a whim last year, and although the guitar on the whole was so-so, the trem was unbelievable. I could dive forever, flutter, everything.

My USA version of this guitar is one of my favorite guitars to jam on. It is one of the few guitars that i keep in *gasp* standard tuning!

Sounds familiar (*grumble* EBMM JPx vs. BFR JPx *grumble*)...

Had the same in an ESP strat. I added a D-Tuna, pulled off my best EVH wannabe licks & divebombed like crazy. Solid as a rock.

Damn these are cheap. I wonder what the neck profile will be like, more Jacksony than Strat I hope.

Do you know what time it is? It's time to FARK SHEET ARRRRRP!!
