Jackson DKMG.

i found it at a garage sale for $200 bucks. personally i think its a steal.

i changed the strings, its not hard at all, not as bad as every makes floyds to be.

i still need to have it set up, basically some notes past the 12th fret don't ring out, or when i bend on some strings past the 12th fret, the bend is dead within a second.

the floyd needs to be leveled, action lowered, intonation set.

ill take it down to guitar center to have it professionally done and have them tell me how to do it.

other then that, it plays pretty awesome, it will be so much better once its set up perfectly.

it has EMG HZ pickups, and has a cool gain boost on one of the tone knobs that makes the EMG's sound crazy. harmonics on this guitar are insane.

the guitar is like $700 brand new

She's a beauty. Congratulations.

By the way, not to change the subject, but what amp did you get a little while back? I remember you posting about that, but I never saw what amp you finally got. Maybe I missed it.

Nice job! Well done! Makes me want to start going to garage sales.

Congrats!

I'm hoping to score as well at the neighborhood yard sale this coming weekend.

You would think with as many people that buy a guitar and then never play it, that there would just be lines and lines of them down the street. Even if it were cheapo acoustic models.

Maybe i need to start hitting the streets too. There has to be a deal out there somewhere. I'm not looking for much. :P

Yep... you would think.

I used to stop at garage sales searching for that almost set of new Ping irons for $40 bucks. Never found 'em.

Good luck on the search.
