Re: I just came back from the guitar shop...
You Do realise that you woult be able to buy from the US unless its second hand and your lucky enough that it doesnt get stopped by customs..Because if you but an amp For 750 USD not inc shipping then you will ahve to pay at elast $200+ shipping plus the percentage VAT that is in place in Israe..So For a 750 amp you would be spending at least $1100,then add mabye another $100 mabye less for a step down transformer so tat the amp could work from israeli power supply..It would be hard to find someone willing to ship their amp (on ebay) internationally and if you did find someone the shipping as i said would be over $200 using the cheapest method therfore would take probobly 6+ weeks..So you best way to buy an amp is from Israel or European country although i dont know of any online music stores in Europe that ship to isreal..

My store can order the amp if I pay them to so I don't really know how much it will cost, so anyways do you think I should stick with the RX10 and buy a 750USD amp or get the RR5 and get lets say an AVT20/50 which my guitar teacher recomends?

Re: I just came back from the guitar shop...
Ok and what should I get the AVT20 or a Fender amp. Which is better for shred/heavy metal/hard/calssic rock? And I'm stil not sure about the RR5, cause I do think the RX10 is even more beautiful, and it has a JTP500 Locking tromolo or hatever it is called and the RR5 doesn't, and I am pretty much looking for a great tromolo. So what should I really do? Its RR5 w/neck through and has better sustain vs RX10 w/better looks and great tromolo and AVT20/50 vs Fender Amp. My shop has the Fender amp and has the RX10 so I don't have to order. And what should I get as a distortion pedal a Tubescreamer or Boss MT-2 Metal Zone? BTW I've seen the RR5 in Red w/gold hardware and it is beautiful and does the RR5 carry Metallic/Transparent blue?

Most licsenced floyd Rose's arent that great and actually make a guitar worse, althoug you could buy the RX10 and replace it with a real Floyd, but thats if the JTP580 isnt that great, i have no experience with it so just stating your options..If your planning on giggning you will need at aleast a 50 watt amp if your going to get a solid state so the AVT 50 would suit that, if only home practise then the AVT 20 would be plenty..

Also Keep in mind that even though directly translated into Dollars you can afford $750 taxes and importing and other stuff will make them much more expensive in your country..In The US A DSL 50 costs somewhere about $800 give or take, but in Ireland a new one costs about €1000, directly exchanged €1k = $1250 so theres a big diffeence there..Make sure you know what they cost in your country before you set yourself on something..

Well if it was a good all tube fender mabye that would suit better as you would have an excellent clean sound then if you saved up you could buy a good overdrive, so as you could at least live on the fenders overdrive till you got a good OD..Depends what fender..ANd are you planning on Gigging because if you are you would need at least 50 watts if its a solid state..

Look at this GREAT deal: Remember the Jackson USA KE1's (Marty Friedman Signature) that Jackson stopped making? Well my teacher has a friend that can get me one of those w/ a set neck, Seymour Duncans, an original floyd, 24 frets, etc! Its perfect for my type of music!! Heavy metal and alot of shred! A Jackson USA! The only catch is that it is used but still in great condiion. My guitar teacher is probablly going to bring the guitar in for the lesson and let me play the guitar to see if I like it. So its either that or I can get a Jackson RR10/3/5 for more money then the better Jackson USA Kelly 1. So I'm pretty sure I will get the Kelly even though I like the looks of the RR a little more. So rate it please and do you think that it is a good deal? Thanks for reading. Oh ya! It only costs around 3000/3100 shekalim which is only 720-750USD!
