  1. Try a Mayones Setius. Amazing quality and tonally they have a lot in common with LPs. I actually don't really get on with mine as it's a hefty chunk of mahogany and a bit too heavy and dark sounding for me. I think the necks are far nicer too but that's personal preference again.

  2. Another Falling in Reverse monstrosity. They just can't stop making them. 

    For some utterly bizarre reason the founder of Sumerian Records decided to do a Florence and the Machine cover album. For those unaware they mainly have -core bands on the label. Some are actually moderately tasteful spins on the original, some are just straight covers... and there are ones that are just breakdowns with screaming.http://sumerianceremonials.com/

     

  3. My GAS is for one of these. UK pricing hasn't been announced but it will be eye watering so saving is beginning and I can sell my other Mayones to part fund it. Planning to order one with the flamed maple top and a transparent purple finish.

  4. So you want a mega fast neck HS hardtail with 22 frets and unusual woods? Sounds like my main guitar :p The neck is a copy of my favourite Ibanez neck (read thinnest) made from unfinished wenge. Chambered mahogany body, BKP pickups. It weighs nothing yet is mega resonant.

  5. I think I want one too. Hard to find fast and modern, but stripped down, ergonomics with old-school woods. I'd probably change the pick-ups though.

     

    Its a Charvel San Dimas Style 1, HS HT (humbucker-single, hardtail; there are others with trems and more pups); I had to do a bit of googling.

    Depends what you mean by 'old school woods'. Ibanez are now releasing an incredible amount of mid-high end fixed bridge guitars although obviously most are basswood (although there are a lot of nice fixed bridge S models too now) and Jackson have some nice new dinky hardtails (not tuneomatics!). I'm a huge fan of purple and this is dreamy bar the hockey stick headstock.

    It does become harder if you want HS hardtails specifically though. I'd maybe just go custom for that, worked for me!

  6. finished story mode last night.

    chose option C

    . don't know if i'll really bother with online.

    I chose that option too.

    It was rather anticlimactic. I did all of the killings by simply whacking out an RPG and blowing everyone up, couldn't be arsed with taking out huge groups of people. Then I managed to fail the mission by taking out Devin Weston with a sniper rifle before I even got to his house, not realising you were supposed to kidnap him. Still I managed to take out all bar 1 of his guards with the sniper rifle from a distance the second time.

    I saved just before the final mission though so I may go back and try the other options, but I can't face killing Trevor and Michael!

    Anyone up for starting an aberdeen music crew then? My xbox gamertag is keeno89. Already have Teabags and Flights added.

  7. Once you do a certain mission it is made available at Ammunation.

    Yep in one of the storyline missions you need to parachute out of a plane. After then they become available.

     

    I remember someone saying a few pages back about LS customs giving free upgrades when you buy it as a business. Only Franklin can buy it and it's only free upgrades in the one near Sandy Shores, not the ones in LS. Still I had fun making loads of boy racer neon spoilerfests last night :p

  8. Yeah, I looked into Mayones but I thought just a bit metal for my tastes. The name escapes me but there's a Hungarian - I think - company impressing people as well... I think Tom Quayle is using one?

    Mayones make other guitars other than the Regius/Setius plus as a semi custom shop you can order pretty much anything you want specs wise.

    http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/electric_guitars_detail.asp?stock=13022711375727 is one of the other models but there are obviously more on their website.

     

    I went back and bought from another British luthier this time. Mmm purple. If anyone is wondering, the Schaller Hannes bridge is AMAZING. Best fixed bridge around for sure. You won't regret buying a guitar with one!
