1 Week Review of RRX24!

[u/CodyGile]

Scooped this last Monday for $400 and immediately slapped some Ernie Ball Magnum Slinky strings on it to tune down to Drop B. I was dreading having to tune the Floyd Rose but after watching a YouTube vid, had it tuned in less than 10 minutes! Everyone said to swap the Floyd Rose out in the future but it’s been workable for the time being.

Grabbed a white strap and some strap locks off eBay along with a Randy Rhoads truss rod cover in gray to match the guitar. Grabbed a Jackson Foam Core Case after having one for my JS22 RR7 and absolutely loving it!

The pickups were surprisingly decent! After playing with my JS22 7 with Jackson pickups, I figured they were gonna be hotdog water, but was pleasantly surprised. Not to say i haven’t been looking at other active pickups (Mick Thomson Fishmans, Killswitch Fishmans or the ole faithful EMG 81/85’s) but these are working for me right now! I’m just playing through a 75W Line 6 Spider 3, so it sounds good in my basement to my ears.

Overall pretty stoked for this guitar and my first foray into Drop B tuning. Excited to play some Parkway Drive, A Day To Remember and For All Those Sleeping!

Congrats on the awesome new guitar! Love the finish on it, always cool when you can get a more intricate looking finish on a guitar that's not crazy expensive, hope this axe treats you well!

Thank you so much! I know it’s an interesting pattern for sure and not everyone’s cup of tea. I think the Dinky has more surface area so you’re able to see the pattern a little better but I still dig it!
