Review?

I finally got to check out one of these today.

Slightly lighter than my CIJ ones. Decent action right off the rack. Certainly worth $500.

I dig it. 😀

They're good. Another overlooked Fender since it was made in China. Pine body is good with a thin finish, pickups are meh but for the price new are good. The bridge is ok but if you get a shoddy one you buy a new one on Stewart Mac for $20 and you're good.

Some great pickups for strats? Mustang and nocaster pickups. I also have a soft spot for Duncan Quarter Pounders .

Very underestimated guitar.

Before buying my RS820 I was about to pull the trigger on a SG1000. Straight Les Paul killers.


The SGs are making a comeback.

Hmmmmmmmm..... Year was 1993.. 1980s Dean Z Strat . Black with chrome guard HSS , white fretboard . 1980s Epiphone Flying V Korina 1980s Charvel Dinky HSS Active MIJ (wish I still had) Got out of guitars from 1996-2006 2006-2016 Squier VM Tele Deluxe (2) Squier 51s Squier Mike Dirnt bass Fender Toro...

It came with a matching headstock? That thing is bitchin,!!!

Anyone experience how Gibson's Firebird HP balances compared to their Firebird T model? I have a 2016 T and she balances perfectly, but I'm curious how moving the strap position may affect balance. I had always heard or read that Firebird's were neck heavy and prone to diving, but my experience wit...

What does the switch do?

I'm assuming they had to cheapen the Jag out a little so it wouldn't be as good as a Johnny Marr...

I guess my thought is that if I try the original pickups they won't be quite as hot as the lace sensors, but at the same time they'll be less sterile. Maybe I'll see if I enjoy them (I've never rewired a guitar so this would be a bit of a learning process for me) and if I find they're too neutral, ...

I had Lace sensors in my MG73... Meh.. Many like them but I however didn't.

A cool alternative to give your Mustang a special kind of OOMPH that I experimented with is Duncan Quarter Pounders for Jaguar. You can even fit the pickup cover over them to keep an original look..

Another $75 you can buy a whole guitar if you shop around.....

Congrats! Is one a bucker and the other a P90? Yes. The cheaper rs502 with the p90s I think sounds a little better. But the feel and the balance is unlike any on these . Yamaha nailed it. These guitars aresonate a culmination of Yamaha's electric guitars from the SGs to the Superfighters to the SA-...

Haven't had enough time for a review yet but of what I noodled it by far plays better than any Les Paul I've ever set my fingers on. It's the RS820cr model. I wish I could find a RSP20cr but they're like my unicorn right now. Too new to the market. Not to mention much sexier than the pic suggests. M...

NGD!!!!!

Liked my RS502 so much I decided to pull the trigger on a RS820cr to add to my family of Yamaha haha.

The Duo Sonic is not what you're looking for. If you want Les Paul sound you want a Les Paul esk guitar . Kinda. Humbuckers, a thicker mahogany, etc. If you're on a budget and dont want heavy check out the Epiphone Phantomatic. Another good one that KINDA has a LP sound and is light is the Hagstrom ...

Looking for an upgrade multi effects from my Digitech rp500 . I don't have the space to make a pedal board. So to the point what's the best multi effects board out there? I've been looking at the Line 6 M13, Digitech rp1000 and Zoom 5n but if there is better that I'm overlooking I'll consider it. Wh...

Poplar body..... It's a cool idea but calling it even an Epiphone is insulting. Gibson are supposed to be mahogany in my opinion.
