I don't have the old '98 RG570 that I had anymore to directly A/B, but that guitar had a ridiculously thin neck (in a good way). I have not played a guitar with a neck that thin again. I don't even know of anyone that makes anything thinner than that going by specs (17mm).
Thank you! Plays amazing too!
That's pretty much what these are. I haven't played an actual faded from the 2000's or 2010's, or whenever they introduced hem, so I don't know how they've refined or evolved the finish, but these is what these are, more or less. They call it "nitro satin" finish. And that's exactly why I'm arguing these are kind of expensive if you pay full price. The Studio Fadeds at some point were like 800 dollars, weren't they? I guess the upside is they have always had a reputation of sounding very lively because the finish is so thin.
Thank you. It does. It's claled "Gold Mist". The guy from the store that I traded in my Strat at told me it was basically the same color as my Strat. But the funny thing is the Strat started life as "Inca Silver", but it's nitro, and it had aged over the years to be sort of golden champagne-y. This is kinda like what this is like. Like if a silver nitro finish had aged over time.
Nah. Just straight up two tones and two volumes. Handwired, no PCB. Nothing fancy.
