Re: NGD Finally !! DBZ Content :D

I love their marketing photo for it - so cool:

Re: NGD Finally !! DBZ Content :D

Thanks everyone! It does look kind of like a semi. It actually sounds massive, I really love it, and the coil taps are definitely a plus, even though the buckers are definitely smooth enough.

If anyone's wondering, I've been playing Killswitch Engage, Disturbed, ect, on this guitar and it sounds awesome, tweak your amp and you don't exactly NEED Blackouts, or EMG's.
 
Re: NGD Finally !! DBZ Content :D

Man, I'd love to play one.

How does it feel sitting down with it? Does the thinness feel awkward on your leg?
 
Re: NGD Finally !! DBZ Content :D

Nice! I've been looking at these and the Royales for a while, now. I've just NEVER had the chance to sit and play one and I can't buy solely on appearance.

I'm lucky to have found them, only one place, i've never seen them before or after. The thinness is not too noticeable on your leg, but a strat arm contour is a little more comfortable. I find that the carved top sits well on your on your chest. The fact that its thin actually makes it really easy on the right hand, and standing up its a breeze. I thought it'd feel much different but its really not that much.

I can, personally, tell you that I have not found a flaw in it yet. It looks good, sounds good, AMAZING neck profile (soft V), its not too heavy or light, the pickups are very versatile (i play blues on them, and I play Killswitch Engage on them), the coil taps are a good addition. After playing it for a while I can personally suggest this as a guitar that you could buy online without ever playing it!

Glad you have a DBZ Guitar! I'm a proud owner of a DBZ Bolero and they're really flawless! I changed the pickups because... I wanted a guitar to my specs; but it was really nice alright. The neck pickup is a clear, creamy one*

I played an Imperial. They're really thin, wide bodied and have their own vibe! It wasn't what I was looking for at the moment; but they're great alright! I hope you enjoy it man!

Thanks man! Glad to see there's a fellow DBZ owner, not too many of us out there. Yeah, I really dig the pickups. What pups did you put in ?

I made a Duncan Custom & 59 neck (coil/splittable) configuration.
I used to have a Pearly Gates neck on it; but it just didn't match or did, what I was looking for, for that guitar.

I don't have many pictures of that guitar (on his actual appearance); but here's my 2011 Guitar Collection photo, where you can appreciate it!

PS. When the Pearly Gates is coil split... it really NAILS the Strat sound! :)


Keep rocking out and enjoying your new DBZ Guitar to the maximum!
 
Re: NGD Finally !! DBZ Content :D

Awesome guitar!! That's the same as mine in a different shape!! :D Do I see an SG peeking there ??
 
Re: NGD Finally !! DBZ Content :D

Nice! It looks cool, but that thin body totally raises the level of badassery! One question: what is "ebonized rosewood"?

¡Haha! You got some great eyes for guitars! :D Yes! It is my 2005 Gibson SG Standard. I purchased it on February 2006 from Musician's Friend. Is my most used guitar to the moment. I just got it fret-dressed, set-up, and his microphonic pickups waxed! It has really been used indeed, from 2006 to 2011! I retired it from live use.
Now I switch between my DBZ Bolero and my newest addition: a Gibson Flying V.

Thats awesome!! I was looking at SG Stds too when i got this guitar!

It's just rosewood thats been stained darker. It looks like ebony, better, and sounds like rosewood, better.
