[ice_man_jester]

what's the pros and cons of the bullet truss rod as against the normal truss rod and the truss rod located at the end of the fretboard?

sensya na sa newbie questions mga bro, this will be my first strat kasi if ever..i have my eye on a CIJ 70s reissue strat. tried searching the net pero wala ko masyado makita explanations sa truss rod types for strat..

thanks..

[ice_man_jester]

just got my first strat..nakakapanibago as i've always been using humbuckers..pasok na pasok sa blues and clean playing which is medyo mahirap sa LP for me..

tried lots of strats today as i made the round of music shops..tried MIJ and CIJ na 50s/60s/70s reissue, 60th anniv standard strat, american series strats..di ko lang na-try yung mga custom shop since baka magandahan lang ako masyado e di naman abot budget ko..

tried 57 ri with lace sensor, 68 ri with texas specials, 72 ri's with vintage us pickups, american series and the 60th anniv standard na MIM..

to my amateur ears, the 72's where trebly, clear, twangy while the 68 was middy, the 57 was ok for mid-to high gain pero di ko trip sa clean and suprisingly halos wala or wala talaga syang hum(not sure of the specs of lace sensors).

to my surprise, yung american series has the lowest output, ok for low to mid gain pero so so yung clean. the 60th anniv was a close second dito sa napili ko,, ok ang clean pati yung low to mid gain..

settled on this one since ito ung pinakagusto ko yung tone..

my entry to the club..

[thortured]

thanks sir phil for the info
sir iceman ikaw naman tatanungin ko. how much is your strat? saan mu nakuha sya? ty

[Kulas]

i think it's an american vintage 70's strat reissue. ganda pare! ano yan, ash body yan fo sho!

[jvillacru]

sir phil, bakit parang di po naka-align yung strings dun sa neck nung strat nyo?  para pong halos nasa edge na nung neck yung low e string tapos laki naman ng clearance ng high e dun sa kabilang edge ng neck?

[ice_man_jester]

sir thortured, around 450 USD lang..sa singapore ko nakuha to..bagong dating na shipment..looks like special order by the shop since it has gotoh tuners(just a hunch)..also can't find any exact model from the ishibashi website with the exact same specs..

sir kulas, CIJ 70s reissue lang..not sure of the wood probably alder or basswood..pansin ko lang, it weighs nearly as heavy as the US strats with alder while yung ibang CIJ strats na na-test ko is really light(having been accustomed to LPs). from what i experience testing ibanez, magaan ang basswood..but for the price, id still think basswood to..

thanks...good point...I have to take it to a luthier to set it up....when I got it straight from the store it wasn't even tuned right.....I think they loosen the strings while in storage.....altough it doesn't bother my playing.

[chris_jean]

ice_man_jester  kasama na hardcase dun sa US$450 na binayad mo bro?tnx

[ice_man_jester]

fender gigbag lang kasama pag CIJ..yung mga MIA comes with hardcase..
 
pag kasama hardcase(non-fender nga lang), papatak mga around 500 USD..di na muna ko kumuha ng separate hardcase since medyo ok naman yung gigbag na kasama..

kala ko wala na MIJ and pumalit yung CIJ, meron pa pala..mas mura ng konti yung MIJ as compared sa CIJ..sabi nung store owner the difference between the two is on the hardware part..ie pickups, tuners etc..yung mga MIJ was between 350-400 USD ang pricing nila..

[chris_jean]

pag maguupgrade ka bro pasa mo na lang sa min ..he he

hmm, may lite ash kasi eh. pero supposedly yung mga 70's reissue naka-ash yan. faithful to the 70's strat specs. 3-bolt neckplate yan diba? bullet truss rod? if the weight's on the heavy side, malamang ash yan. yung basswood kasi magaan eh. alder magaan din, hehe. pero if it sounds great, who cares about the wood diba? hehe. swak yung presyo nya at $450. those go for around 40-50k yen sa ishibashi eh. so ayos yan. great guitar man!

[ice_man_jester]

yup 3-bolt neckplate and bullet truss rod..ito yung nagustuhan ako among all the strats na na-test ko yesterday..

sarap pala ng strat..dito ko lang pala makukuha yung low/mid gain tones na gusto ko..mukhang pahinga yung LPs ko for the meantime..
