alex2zulu Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hey guys, my brother started having drum lessons and his drum tutor is sponcerd by yamaha - he has told us that we can have any yamaha gear we want so im using this chance to get a new guitar. i dont know much about yamaha guitars, my local music shop hasnt got any so im looking to u guys. i play mostly metal - metallica, seether, rammstein, lacuna coil, muse, bullet for my valentine. if the sound isnt spot on it dont matter i can always sell it lol needs: HUMBUCKERS, minimum 1 at the bridge. the others can be single humbuckers (e.g hotrail type) vibratto/tremalo system, i love trems and at the mo i have a les paul so i dont have one STYLE - super strat style like an ibanez JEM sorta shape with the horns i realize this is probably be a shot in the dark but it IS going to be free so what the hell lets make the best of it. thank you very much for any help Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Dude, why not check out Yamaha's web site? What a horrible night to have a curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantasticsound Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Yamaha makes sweet instruments, from the cheap stuff up to fine, upscale instruments. If you go cheap, though, you'll almost assuredly want to replace the p'ups. The Pacifica is their strat style, but it isn't quite so squared off and sharp as the Ibanez RG's that are popular and from whence the JEM series originally was born. Have you checked out the Yamaha site yet? It's easiest to find me on Facebook. Neil Bergman Soundclick fntstcsnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasticsound Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Actually, the RGX line looks more your style, though I see only dual HB setups Here's a pic: http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/Images/Guitars/Product/Main/P_rgx320FZ.jpg Maybe the ERG, which is a lower line product. http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/Images/Guitars/Product/Main/ERG121WR_Main.jpg This RGX A2 looks interesting. RGX looks with a beveled edge, hardwood top and back sandwiching a lighter wood. You have to read the web page to see what they're attempting to make a really light, acoustically active electric guitar. I want to check one out now. http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/Images/Guitars/Product/Main/_M_rgxa2.jpg That's cool of your brother's tutor to share his endorsement with both of you.

Xplorer Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 My uncle owns a music store that has a RGX A2. I would NOT suggest buying it if you are into metal. However, I would strongly suggest giving this one a shot... http://www.yamaha-europe.com/picture_archiv/products/10_Musical_instruments/guitars_basses_amps/electric_guitars/rgx520fz_medium_jpg.jpg RGX520FZ. He has one of these in stock in a trans black and it is a sweet axe! Excellent construction, materials, and quality for a great price. Even better price for you, or so you say...

Guitarzan Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 here you go.. Pacifica, super strat, humbucker in the bridge, trem , and comes in a nice trans black. there is a 412, 612 and 812 the 612 and 812 come with a seymour duncan JB in the bridge. if it is totally free try to nab a Pac 812v. pac 812v http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarzan Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 in the past i have owned many Yammys Pac 812w (twice) , 712, 721, 604, 311ms SBG 1000, 500 AES 500, 620 RGX 721dg, 211m all have been solid rockin guitars that covered alot of bases. favorites were the Pacifica series, so if you want a trem i would grab a Pacifica but if trem isn't that important and you want total tone go for the RGX models listed in the other posts, seeing you don't want a single cutaway i won't even mention the AES 620. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I have a dimebucker in my Gibson, and I'm quite happy with it. Check out the invader pickup, it's pretty slick for metal also. Also: Bill Lawrence XL-500 EMG-81 ...pretty much standards of metal. What a horrible night to have a curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
