I saw a YT review and a guy bought one from Sweetwater and was returning it cos it had so many QC issues. Said it was terrible. Plus that price for a guitar made in Indonesia that has QC problems everywhere is a bit steep i think. Video below if you think i'm kidding!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/garFqIyCZ9KYraM

Did you make the pickguard yourself or buy it somewhere? It looks great! The colours, the matching kill switch. It looks straight out of Miami '87. Would love to build a similar one myself.

@nofrillsnoskillsguitar365 did you have to block the tremolo for drop d? Or did you just lvl it out by adjusting the spring plate?
@nofrillsnoskillsguitar3652 ай бұрын
You don't need to do anything like that to tune a guitar to drop D. You just change the tuning at the tuning machine on the headstock. Plenty of vids on how to do it if you're a beginner. Rock on!

@nofrillsnoskillsguitar3652 ай бұрын
@@WilliamCampbell-t6x No reason to ever mess with the springs / claw / trem system in general when going from E standard to drop D. Just tune down and play away! You only need to fiddle with the trem system when drastically changing string gauges (like 9s to 11s) and/or drastically changing complete tuning (like E standard to C standard). In 95%+ of all situations, once you have the trem set where you want it, you never touch it again in your life.

@nofrillsnoskillsguitar365 thank you for this info..I just got a js22 and only had fixed bridges or hardtail bridges and ppl are telling me everywhere that it takes adjustments to down tune even to drop c but alot of them are referring to different guitars
@nofrillsnoskillsguitar3652 ай бұрын
@@WilliamCampbell-t6x Unless you have the most sensitive trem system known to mankind (which the $150 JS22 doesn't have...) you'll never need to worry about it until you change string gauges. I've owned tons of trems from $40 Chinese knockoffs up to my $1800 Fender Am Pro II. Only time I have ever adjusted the trem itself was moving from 9s (factory shipped) to 10s. Even then, it was like 2 - 3 minutes. Nothing difficult about it at all.

They were never conceived as travel guitars. The originals back in the 80s had active electronics and EMG pickups and they were used by the likes of David Gilmour, Mike Rutherford, Daryl Stuermer and Edward Van Halen. They were proper, professional instruments, made from carbon and graphite and the later ones had bridges that could transpose the whole guitar equally. These new Gibson ones are based on the Hohner copies from the 80s and require some work before they're bang on. The pickups and trem posts need replaced asap although if you just lock the bridge you can overlook the posts. Ned Steinberger's original prototype bass from, I think, 1978 (he was a bassist and conceived it as a solution for bassists before rolling out the six string version) is currently for sale for somewhere in the region of £81,000 or maybe around ninety thousand of your US dollars.
